Best Triple-Threat Breweries

Since you said wild and not specifically sour (because id say Weyerbacher, but Tarte Nouveau is kettle soured, sure to catch shit for )

I say fuck it im going with.....

Rogue.

Brutal IPA

Beard Beer (it is technically wild)

Chocolate Stout.

 

You're kidding of course, but if there was a brewery that did those three things well, then it would certainly be a great topic of conversation - I would love to find a brewery that accomplished that! It would also do an amazing job of "showcasing a brewery's true skill."

I also think your jest is looking at it from the wrong angle. Granted you said "in my opinion," but when you mention "3 main pillars of beer," it's only natural for someone to expect to see a lager... any lager... in the mix. Most commenters here are not talking about esoteric hybrid styles that some might not even consider true beer. Compared to lagers, ales are actually the niche product.

 

Absolutely. In reality, I honestly think that the styles cited in the original post are probably among the easiest ones to make.
I agree that a pilsener, a traditional helles, or even an American adjunct lager require more skill than a stout or a hopped up ale (which perhaps explains the explosion of new breweries making mostly suspiciously homebrew-tasting hop bombs )

 

If I were to go with a non-American brewery that nails many styles, Sam Smith does a pretty top shelf job at it.

Their Organic Lager although classified as a Euro Lager, tastes like one of the best German style lagers I've ever had. American, German or otherwise.

 

Pizza Boy:

IPA: Murren River
Sour: Mango Sourer
Stout: Sunny Side Up
Pils: Citra Pils

 

Fremont Brewing Company

Spring Elixir
Cowiche Canyon
Hop Lab
BA Dark Star + variations
BA Abominable + variations
Brew 1000
Plus a plethora of other outstanding/world class stouts and IPAs.

I do not fancy sours, but they have a few nice ones.

This is not a triple threat brewery, this one is a multifaceted brewery.

Do people on this site really think of "Euro pale lager" as a style though? Isn't it just the label given to the miscellaneous European pale lagers ( ) not made in Germany and the Czech Republic (give or take)? Serious question.
