Breweries that you used to like but avoid now?

I stopped drinking Founders entirely after their history of racism and inability to rectify it. Don't miss it one bit.

 

Green Flash is a great one! Used to be so happy to find some fresh West Coast IPA or Pallet Wrecker!

 

Ditto on Stone (I will cave occasionally for the Drink By, and Xocoveza)
Used to drink more Avery, not so much anymore (with noted barrel aged stuff being an exception).
Same for New Belgium, apart from their revived sour and Lips of Faith runs.
More locally, Bristol Brewing just fell off a cliff when they moved to their new facility. No taste and quality control. I try them ever 3-4 months just to see, but nope, not yet.

 

I couldn't agree more. I haven't been there since.

 

Finestkind, Robust Porter, and Old Brown Dog graced my fridge for years. The quest for the ever new by a fickle craft culture doomed them. It is a damned shame, but they are not alone.

 

Bomb! is on of my favorite beers, and their Noir stuff is the tits, but damn that price tag.

 

Brewery : Founders
Reason : you know why...

Stone - other than Xocoveza, nothing interests me and they discontinued a lot of beers that I used to drink (IRS, Levitation)

 

Would agree with previous posters on Prairie and Evil Twin.
Some regional brewers for me would include The Bruery (big boozy beers) and Bottle Logic (loved the tap room when i visited but most beers distributed to AZ are seriously over hyped and over priced).
Because of the influx of local brewers and breweries distributing to Arizona from out of state, i find that i am trying these and not buying the OG that i bought regularly 5-15 years ago as much, if at all anymore. Kind of makes me sad and nostalgic for the OG.

 

Old Nation. The beers I see from them are usually hazy ipas and are usually 4 16 oz for like 15 bucks. I'm not into hazies anymore (I never really got that much into them), I don't like the format or the price. The latter two points were always a problem for me. Their coffee brown ale is good, other than that I pass these days.

 

Funky Buddha and Wicked Weed

 

NoLi, formerly Northern Lights. Oldest surviving brewery in my city. The beer is mostly mediocre rather than bad. Just don't like the way they do business, and there's plenty of better beer brewed in and around Spokane, so I just skip them.

 

No more Steam Hollow for me...enough said...

Also.... for some reason I just dont so Terrapin any longer...they ditched their best beers (Big Hoppy Monster comes to mind) and I just dont reach for them anymore

 

If I recall, it was right before they opened in canton. I don’t remember the dates

just checked my untappd, and looks like mid-2017

 

yeah all there ipas are pretty much the same 1 trick pony imo, id like to see a dank ipa from them

 

Electron Brown IS quite nice. But you're right, the price per ounce on Old Nation beers just isn't worth a regular pick up for me, I may buy a can here or there. *old man voice* I remember when Old Nation took over brewing the Sanders stouts from Detroit Beer Co. And they focused on English style ales!

There's a few others I started on but never made a regular purchase, mostly Ballast Point and Dogfish. Basically for the same reason as Old Nation, the price wasn't worth the value (although I've seen more reasonable prices from both more recently).

 

Put me down for this complaint with stone as well. There's plenty of stone beers I would love to buy... except stone doesn't make or package them anymore. The ones that I do see from stone are just another IPA and usually like 15$ a 6 pack

 

Roger, roger on Prairie

 

give us one!

 

Kinda local to NY I guess, but SingleCut is on my don’t buy list now. I’ll get it in a bar, I won’t buy any cans of theirs anymore.

Sad, because they were amongst the first breweries in NYC who made great IPAs but between the price, and, more importantly, the consistency, I never knew what I was gonna get. I’ve gotten downright brown IPAs from them, and once it happened for the 3rd time, that was it.

 

Bristol, but I stopped in 09
