Best good beer made by mediocre brewery?

Brown's Brewing Whiskey Barrel Porter is a favorite around here, well at least my friends all know about it. Really well made, tasty, and interesting beer, excellent quality brew. Rest of their lineup are good beers but solid middle of the pack, nothing special.

 

Lime-a-Rita

 

I'll add Wake n Bake. I'm hoping Terrapin can rise from the mediocrity of the last two years, but I'm not holding my breath.

As a bonus I'll say Depth Charge. A now legendary brew from two mediocre breweries (Terrapin & Left Hand).

 

Fireside chat isn't bad during the winter, and the collaboration beer they did with ninkasi is decent, Allies Win the War.

 

Brau Brothers out of Lucan ,MN makes 100 yard dash a fresh hop that is very good,

 

Leinenkugel Big Eddy RIS.

 

IMO yes. But to each their own...

 

No....you're right.

 

Bridgeport's IPA fits the bill nicely.

 

Ska's Modus Hoperandi, love that beer, but can't really get into any other stuff they do.

 

​

...1st beer I thought of as well, ! ​

 

Coors Barmen Pilsner.
They brew that one under the Coors name, so it doesn't seem to be considered part of AC Golden or even the Sandlot/Blue Moon.

 

Yep, them and Chocolate Stout never disappoint.

 

I agree though the price was sky high. I say was because there's none in town now...

 

The only brew of theirs that I buy often.

 

rhar & sons bourbon barrel winter warmer, love that stuff, regular offerings are only alright.

 

Yes, that was an enjoyable brew.

 

Ill always go for Death By Hops and Hoppyum, but Ive heard Foothills Jade is pretty good as well.

 

Flower Power?

 

This will cause a shitstorm but I have never been that impressed with Flower Power after multiple attempts at trying it. That said, Ithaca's special releases like LeBleu and Brute might take it out of that "mediocre" category...just my 2 cents
