    Pretty much any ESB...
    They are not popular and I cannot understand why?

    I think a case for Sierra Nevada Pale Ale can also be made.

    Hell ya, we used to be able to get a great one from Anderson Valley but they discontinued it because the world is a cold and lonely place

    Innis & Gunn Original Oak Aged. Looking at my BA deviation scores this is the highest for me that is regularly distributed. 3.78 C'mon!
    Everyone I've introduced this beer too attests to it being way way underrated.

    Agreed. I don't think it's in the 'not appreciated' category, but why folks don't put this way up there with the best of the stouts beats me! It's outstanding!

    I sigh in agreement.
    The Fremont's are here, so if it could just get the Zhukov, Event Horizon, one of the better Jackie'Os - oh and Holy Mountain without traveling down to Seattle. I would call this place heaven.

    Good use of stats. For me, that means Baltika #9 is my most underrated. Not a bad pick, really. I like number 9.

    Love Zywiec Porter and I've actually been lucky enough to drink it in Zywiec and at the brewery. Unfortunately it's not distributed where I live. I've got a buddy that brings me some from Chicago every once in awhile to get my fix

    Highland IPA is underrated when it's fresh, even better on tap. It's consistently good when fresh, and I always enjoy it, and have for years.

    It used to be, before it became Beckalob or BeckWeiser. Now St. Pauli Girl is the same. AB-Inbev turned these into pale imitations of what they once were.

    I had a St Pauli Girl maybe a year ago and thought it was delightful. Last time I had it was probably 1995-1996 timeframe and it was a skunked mess and was a skunked mess the couple of time prior to that I tried it. Realize it’s mostly due to the age and storage conditions back then I’m sure. Regardless of ownership now, I thinks it’s a tasty lager.

    Absolutely incredible, but inconsistent. I loved it the first time, but it was cloyingly sweet the next time. I should probably try it again because I love tequila and gose’s

    At the moment i think Dogfish head Sea Quench is pretty underrated. Actually I only see a few ratings for this beer which is kinda hard to believe. Its a great beer. One of the only sours that i can easily find consistently year round. Also it comes in sixers of cans for around $ 9.99. Not long ago the only sours I could find came in a Champagne bottle size and they were very expensive.

    I grew up in zweibrucken Germany and Parkbrau followed by Karlsberg were the 2 most popular breweries in the area, but Bitburger was at the time the top selling beer in Germany and popular with the armed forces population.

    If I HAD to choose a hoppy beer to session that doesn’t tire the palate, this would be it

    Pearl Street Brewing (La Crosse, WI) - Downtown Brown Ale is an easy drinkable beer that I always have on hand at the house. Not a whole lot of distribution outside of Western Wisco but recommend grabbing a sixer if available to try ($7.99 / 6 pack)

    there’s a story about the brewers at Other Half being seen drinking it. When asked, they said it’s cheap, consistent, tasty, and tastes like how beer is supposed to taste like
