What breweries no matter how hard...

Boston guy here. Poor taste in beer. Not so many peoples lives changed for ever. Do you try to joke about the pulse night club event?

 

New Belgium

 

Straight watermelon piss

 

That's an impossible order.

 

Fort Collins
Boulder
Wasatch
Uinta
Squatters (pretty much anything from Utah that I've seen besides Epic)


Oh yeah, and Belching Beaver. Can't get past the name

 

I second the rogue answer. So overpriced and overrated. I have tried dozens of their beers, made two stops at their pub in SF and now that I am a fully adult beer drinker I don't even look at their bottles anymore.
I would also add Russian River to my list, they are about 2 or 2.5 hours away and I've stopped by there a handful of times but will never do it again. Pliny the Elder is a mediocre IPA on a good day in my opinion and their sours and such are good enough but not worth dealing with the pretension and the price.

 

Green Flash is still putting out solid SD IPAs but it is not as good or diverse as it was. Their best brewer left and just opened his own brewery in Paso Robles and it's pretty good. At least it offers a bit more variety

 

Instead of just seconding others opinions I suppose I should just answer the question:
Dogfish Head
Rogue
New Belgium
Russian River
Lost Coast
Six Rivers
Ninkasi

There's probably more but we don't really get a lot of bigger national craft brews up in the remote corner of the northwest I live in

 

New Belgium, while not terrible, is always mediocre. I'll probably never willingly buy from them again.
Saranac makes a few good beers, (I do really like the Coffee Lager) but most everything is mediocre.
Rogue is another I'll probably never buy from. I've only had two beers from them, but neither impressed me enough to revisit. Plus they're really expensive.

 

without question, it's shorts out of michigan.

 

Can I seventy-eighth saying Rogue?

I recently had some of their Hazelutely Chocolasupercalifragilisticexpialadocious or whatever it's called, and all it did was reassure why I never buy Rogue to begin with. They're not that expensive here, just low quality stuff with that crappy Pacman yeast pervading everything.

Ditto Shipyard and their horrible usage of Ringwood yeast.

 

They have been off my radar so long that I am surprised that to hear that they are still in business.

 

Samuel Adams and Dogfish Head have dropped off my radar for quite a while now, but Magic Hat is definitely at the top of my don't ever drink this again list.

 

a
Abita & Flying dog

 

Lagunitas with exception of Waldo

Goose Island with exception of Sophie and bourbon county releases

Dark Horse although still have a few upopen bottles such as plead the 5th bourbon barrel that might change my mind
