Under hyped beers

The complete BA line of Central Waters; BBA Stout, BBA Barleywine, BBA Cherry Stout, BBA Scotch Ale, BBA Quad, and BBA Cassian Sunset Stout.

 

Everything I've tried from Unibroue fits this description.

 

Tilquin Gueuze a l'ancienne sits on the shelf, and it's up there with the best of them.

 

I certainly wouldn't call Big Bad Baptist under-hyped.

 

More regional to the Mid Atlantic, but Cape May Brewing Company makes some fantastic beers. And if you ever get the chance to venture to their tasting room, their collection of sours is an amazing tasting experience.

 

Bent Paddle's Double Shot Double Black

 

Lately I've been drinking mostly everything Stillwater puts out and I think they are the most impressive, consistent, and interesting brewery right now that is easy to get for me.

Insetto
Stateside Saison
Cellar Door
Shoegaze
Extra Dry
Superhop
Wavvy

 

Right now Im loving every beer Holy Mountain puts out, as well as Kilowatt.

 

I still question my beer knowledge every time I walk past Founders Porter. Just spot-on perfect porter. While I know it gets a 94 rating here, I see it constantly on the shelves, never being bought, never go to an event where it is served and never hear anyone talk about it. So its rating is high, but it seems underrated in terms of people paying attention to it.

 

W00tstout. Never hear anyone talk about it. Gets solid ratings but think it compares to or is better(KBS) than beers ranked higher. Also, it is only $10ish for a bomber.

 

Just my personal 2¢ on this but I think over the past few years, beer nerds have become so enamored with BA editions and limited bottling that 'everyday' beers dont carry the same luster they once did.

 

Gonna second this one totally.
I haven't been disappointed in the least by anything they've put out the past year or so after transitioning into cans and updating a few recipes.

Always my go-to brewery.

Edit: Can't forget about On Fleek!

 

Odell Cutthroat porter. It's well reviewed but I just don't believe there are 76 other porters that are better. This beer just hits all the right notes for me. One of my favorites.

 

Drink fresh, drink local. Whalez? Hmmm. Most of what I drink comes from within 50 miles of me. Sierra and Rodenbach being the exception. Whatever I see on the shelf. I like them unhyped, unrated, unheralded. Just have to come to MA to find them. 5,000 + breweries in the US, so much so good. Is it always a contest? The judge that matters is your taste buds.

 

Any hoppy beer that isn't hazy.

 

Any imperial stout that isn't barrel aged and/or doesn't have spices (or other additives).

 

Any sour beer that doesn't have fruit added to it.

 

In the same vein I'd suggest Lindeman's Cuvee Rene Gueuze. They catch some flack for their sweeter, fruited lambics, but you can get the Cuvée Rene Gueuze about anywhere and it's great.

 

Almost any beer from Sierra Nevada.
