I make no pretense about it. I am very partial to The Bruery. I find it a world class brewery with world class people from owners on down to shipping clerks. Creative and with what I believe to be some of the most creative brews around - not afraid to take a chance and most work. When you look at the total line up, current and archived, very few problems, especially for a brewery intent on taking chances. I like almost all and have disliked very few. Like many of us in Southern California, I probably have a bottle in my cellar, still, of just about everything bottled.

However, and while I like the creative and the weird, my favorite has always been: Hottenroth Berliner Weisse.

There is also simply no question about my least favorite: Praecocia.

Still, I would buy on faith any bottle of beer The Bruery makes. One is very rarely let down. JMO

 

Too many favorites

Big beer: chocolate rain followed by m 3
Sour: tie between brux, cherry oud tart and wanderer batch 1

Least fav? Probably the cascadian dark ale they made

 

Favorite: Grey Monday
Least Favorite: Tout Mais Le Coller

 

Favorite-- Autumn Maple
least -- rugbrod
Its all relative, these guys make very good stuff

 

The beauty of the Bruery is the chances they take.

My favorite will always be Oude Tart.

There are one offs or retired beers that were awesome.

Least favorite: the beers they are afraid to make which are few and far between.

Cheers

Honorable Mentions: Pinotlambicus, Sour In The Rye w/ Peaches

Least Favorite: Cacaonut
Honorable Mentions: Acer Quercus, Smoking Wood Rye Barrel Aged

 

Favorite:Mocha Wednesday/Sour in the Rye with Peaches

Least Favorite: Smoking Wood

 

So many of my favorite/ top rated beers come from The Bruery. It's tough to narrow it down but I'll try.

Favorite: Grey Monday
Honorable mention: '12 White Chocolate

Least favorite: Mischief* (with hateful glances toward the infected '13 Barrel Aged Autumn Maple that was undrinkably foul)

* Mischief is decent but I hold a grudge because it's used to dilute White Oak Sap (which I really wish they'd bottle) to make White Oak.

 

favorite brewery Southern Tier ( I admit I am saying that because of all the people who said they did not like ST in the other thread and because it's true=)

least favorite Buffalo Bill ( make them STOP!)

 

Not a big Bruery fan. Favourite: Rueuze (really surprised me).
Least Favourite: Saison Rue

 

Bruery, not brewery.

 

Just stopped by to offer some hate for Salt of the Earth.

Beyond that, while I havent had a ton, I think they are a great albeit expensive brewery. Melange 3 is my favorite but there's a lot of big time Bruery beers i haven't had.

 

There are quite a few Bruery beers I'm not a fan of, but hands down my favorite would be their Humulus Lager. Put it in six-packs, gents, and you'll finally get my money on a consistent basis.
