    I love this brewery. But when the "best brewery" threads come up I don't see them mentioned enough. I would throw their solid line up against most. Just wanted to give some love to the master of the can.

    I agree. They had an Oskar Blues tasting at a store near me last week and so I got to try their whole line up basically. Before that I had only had a Ten Fidy (definitely one of the better stouts out there I think) and a Deviant Dales. I thought everything was really good, except for the Mama's Little Yella Pils which was just okay but I'm not really a pilsner fan anyway. I'm trying to take a break from buying beer since I have so much in my house that I need to drink first, but next up on my to buy list is Old Chub. Good stuff.

    I would agree that their beers can compete with the best of them, but the prices of their imperial 4-packs take them out of the conversation for "best brewery" for me. G'Knight is one of my favorites but I rarely get it at $3.50ish/can. I feel like the $14-16 4-pack is frequently overlooked "because it's Oskar Blues" and most other brewers would be hated on for this.

    Old Chub is $5 on tap at my local bar. It is only $2 on tap during happy hour :slight_smile:

    True Ten Fidy is expensive, but I'm going more for quality of beer instead of deals. If i was going for a combo of quality and price I would not be able to argue against SN

    Tried it tonight for the first time and I liked it. I'm not sophisticated at all. I either like a beer or I don't.

    Ten FIDY is their best canned offering in my opinion.

    Agreed. I still have 7 out of 8 cans that I bought in WI. It's a shame this isn't distributed in IL! However, having a sister who lives 5 minutes from the brewery in Longmont isn't so bad either!

    I wish they'd start canning their Belgo Schmidy.

    Gordon/G'Knight has to be one of the most underappreciated beers ever. With offerings like Gubna, FIDY, and Dale's Pale, Gordon gets overlooked for some reason. Probably my favorite Imperial Red.

    I think I just might have to give Gordon another try.

    It's been a few years since I tried it and since then I have developed a huge liking towards hoppier reds. Maybe I'll enjoy it more this time around.
