Beers Worth The Hype.

Colt 45
Mickey's
Olde English
Hamm's
Lucky Lager

Those all come to mind all my homies hype the shit out of these and they all delivered like the mailman

 

King Henry
Heady Topper
Black Tuesday

 

Love me the Nectar!!!

 

I would have to say Pliny the Elder, The Abyss, Zombie Dust, Cantillon, and Wesveleteren 12 are some beers that I've had that definitely lived up to their hype.

 

In my experience, KBS on draft is worth the hype. In bottle its ok and the bourbon taste is too strong.

Other beers worth the hype:
double bastard
devil dancer
pliny the younger (pretty much have to take a day off of work to experience it, which is half the fun).

 

Worth the hype: Heady Topper, Hill Farmstead beers, Alpine Nelson, Zombie Dust

Not worth the hype: Nugget Nectar, Hopslam. Kern Citra is not worth anything near what it is trading for, and isn't even as good as Zombie Dust in the juicy hop profile, so might as well trade for a 12 pack instead of 1 bomber. PtE is exceptionally brewed, but in no way is it a 100 beer in today's world of incredible IPAs. I'd say it belongs in the world of Alpine Duet and others in the mid-high 90s, but then again Hopslam is a boozy mess and is a 99 so what do I know.

Hi Z,

I was somewhat joking.

Vitus is darn good, I don't know if it's the best beer in the world though.

Good Luck, KP.

 

I feel spoiled as hell.

I know very little about beer. I know almost none of the beers and companies that people list on this site. But hearing that the lot of you mention Michigan breweries makes me happy. I REFUSE TO LEAVE THIS STATE.

Anyway, the first time I had Oberon, I thought it was mind blowing. I had it again, and just thought it was okay. Both times it was on tap, but the first time just seemed like a different beer. Bell's Two Hearted lived up ... I've only had it once, but good God was that legendary. I've recently tried Founders Porter and Founder Centennial IPA, and both of those are about on par with what's said about them.

Cheers. Funny you should mentioned Vitus though as my local bottle shop just got some in and I vultured most of the stock. Tisk Tisk.

 

Two Hearted
BCBS Rare
Zombie Dust
Vanilla BA Dark Lord

 

Sang Noir. And it doesn't even have that much hype surprisingly.

 

I thought this was a good thread to resurrect. Many new beers have come out, and many new BA's can chime in.

For me, in the last year Pipework's Sure Bet was a blissful experience, and so worth its hype. What say you?

Jammer.


And not related or new I think but I just found out about southern tier choklat oranj and I'm excited to find it. My own personal hype and excitement

 

I agree the Enjoy By series has been really good.

 

Everything TG has lived up to the hype for me.
Founders stouts have all been great, ten fidy and yeti have both become favorites.

 

One of my favorite beers so happy it has become so easy to find and now in six packs.

 

Pretty much anything from Hair of the Dog - especially anything "...from the Wood".
Anything you can find from The Ale Apothecary.
With the exception of Spears, anything from De Garde
Bourbonic Plague, Sang Noir and Vlad The Imp Aler from Cascade.
Rye-on-Rye from Boulevard.
