    Whay beer do you love that just doesn't get the recognition you think it deserves?

    I'm loving a Victory Headwaters right now. This is a great beer but I almost never see it mentioned in the forums.

    Harpoon Summer. And their IPA.

    Deschutes 'Red Chair NWPA'. It's pretty highly rated with many good reviews, but no one posts about it. I think it deserves the attention Sucks gets, more than Sucks does.

    Edit: another thought, although more obscure---Linden Street Brewery's lagers. Probably the limited distribution (Bay Area draft only, as far as I know) is the reason for that.

    8 Wired's Batch 31 is one of the best barrel aged stouts I've had. I would gladly take it over KBS, BCBS and many others. I've never seen it mentioned here though and it doesn't have many reviews.

    Out of beers of recent memory I would vote for Hel & Verdoemenis by De Molen.

    Igor's Dream from Two Roads Brewing. Possibly the best Imperial Russian Stout I've had from an east coast brewer.

    Harpoon IPA - the "Gateway Beer". There was a time when it was pretty much the only beer with color and taste.

    Firestone dba. One of the most complex and well balanced epa's out there. I guess since it isn't rocking a 1.5 bu/gu rratio nobody gives a shit about it.

    Headwaters is underrated and I'm not sure how. It's an extremely aromatic, flavorful pale ale that's brewed with CITRA! Must be too readily available because the hype train should be running at full steam.

    I'm putting this out there.
    The first 6 people that BM I will send you a couple of bottles of Headwaters. Just let me know what you think of it.

    DuClaw Colossus, Sonoran 200, and all the crazy stuff Brewdog does. I like extreme, unclassifiable beers that bush boundaries, but many BAs call these novelties or gimmicks and dismiss them.

    Classical styles are great. But what really gets me pumped is when I see something I never have before. Peanut Voodoo Butter Chocolate Banana Rouge? Sign me up.

    Came here to say DBA, but someone beat me to it. I actually really like (especially for the price and availability) Deschutes Mirror Pond Ale, but I never really hear anyone talking about it. Both good ones to just kick back and relax with IMO

    I think that Laughing Dog Alpha Dog gets no love and its a very citrusy/tropical fruity DIPA like everyone raves about on here. I bought it kinda expecting it to be a let down, but it surprised me big time.
