    Has anybody tried any of their stuff? Maybe it's a fairly popular brewery, but the limited number of ratings on this site make me think otherwise. Anyway, I ordered an Anger on-tap a couple months ago on a whim and thought it was pretty good. I recently bought a bottle of Closure and thought it was one of the best APA's that I've had. I now have a Dunegras (an IPA) in my fridge and don't doubt that it too will be a solid beer.

    If you see something by Greenbush, try it.

    I didn't like Brother Benjamin when I had a bottle. I thought it tasted weird. I have heard the tap version was better.

    Personally, I don't pass by Sawyer without filling up a growler of Retribution. Real deal.

    Yeah, I didn't think it was anything special either.

    I've had 5-6 of their beers and really liked them all except for Sunspot which is a hefeweizen. I don't care for hefes, although when I had it I judged it to be brewed very close to style, so they did a good job with it.

    Been there a couple times recently. Had a flight. All really solid brews. Picked up a four pack of Doom Slayer.

    If you go, you must eat there, too. Great smoked brisket sandwich.

    Is this gonna be a Greenbush stroke Fest like the Kuhnhenn DRIPA thread??? :wink:

    If so, it is justified.

    their pale ales and IPAs are their best offerings. IMO.

    They make solid stuff. I really like their barrel aged cream stouts.

    Been generally let down by them (although maybe "let down" isn't the right phrase, since I wasn't necessarily expecting a whole lot). Closure was meh, Anger was meh, Dunegras and Bro Benji were double-meh.

    Only thing I would consider getting again from them is Distorter.

    Doom slayer is the best I have had from them, but I'm quite sure there is no distro for it.

    I'm a huge Greenbush slappy. Love 99% of their offerings. Usually the booth at the beer fests where I spend a major of my tokens. BA versions of My Hyde, Brother Benjamin, etc shouldn't be passed up.
    Bro Benjamin is what Hopslam was supposed to taste like this year.
    Finally had Retribution (in bottles) recently and thought it was pretty flawless.
    But Delusion.... my word. Absolute jaw dropper. One of those "holy shit, you tasting this?" beers for me.
