Beers you had low expectations for but were pleasantly surpised

Coors Batch19. Surprisingly good

 

Good call on the Long Trail Brewmaster series, I have loved that stuff as well.

Bitburger. Didn't expect much, but it was awesome! Perfect "lawn-mower" type beer, especially out of a 16 oz. can!

 

Green Flash Barley Wine

 

Michelob Dunkel Weizen. It's absolutely killer. It's the best dunkel weizen I've ever had, and I've had alot. Oh, and it's usually only $6.99/6'er when you can find it.

Temptress from Lakewood Brewing. Amazing beer.

 

Harpoon Summer Beer (Kolsch). Super refreshing.

 

Dundee mix pack. Good beer and great value.

 

New Albion Beer and SA Double Agent

 

It's kind of funny, I guess, but I didn't have low expectations when I bought some from an online store. Maybe it was because I used to live in CT?

 

Snowdrift Vanilla Porter. Totally decent (I've only ever had it on tap, though).

 

Sam Adams Triple Bock. I personally love it.

 

Utica Club

 

I expected to hate Festina Peche (usually very skeptical of most DFH beers) and as a result, I avoided it for quite a while. Tried it on tap and ended up really enjoying it.

 

I received an extra - Columbus IPA last year. I am originally from Ohio and thought this will be a quick taste and pour. I did not look at BA on it. When I tasted I was very shocked. I actually have since traded for it. Brewery only I believe....

This just entered Wisconsin in the last 8 months or so and damn, talk about the best shitty beer ever. I like to think it's what Ward Cleaver would've drank. And +1 to boobies.

 

sun king cream ale, not my style of beer generally but loved it

 

Green Flash Saison Diego
Captain Lawrence Saison
Captain Lawrence Brown Bird Ale
CCB Maduro Oatmeal Brown Ale

 

Hop Henge Experimental IPA. Not that my expectations were super low, but this one definitely well-surpassed my expectations. A really tasty beer.
