    Have you tried beers from a brewery
    that you either love or don't care for? (Not so much hate)

    Mine is Great Lakes.

    Don't care for:
    Dortmunder Gold
    Elliot Ness
    Commodore Perry
    Burning River
    Edmund Fitzgerald

    Beers I love:
    Chillwave
    Nosferatu
    Blackout
    Lake Erie Monster

    Anyone else have a love/hate (dislike)
    relationship with a brewery?

    Don't like:
    Everything else...

    I have had super fresh Sculpin, and a bunch of others, and I am just not into them...

    I beg you to try fresh sculpin one more time...and again until you like it...not liking sculpin is the same as not liking 'murica

    New Belgium. I dislike their seasonals, I like Lips of Faith, I dislike their Belgian-style beers, I like their IPAs. I will immediately try any new beer they put on the shelf, but it's always 50/50 if I like it or not.

    Hate: the fact that my money goes to InBev

    I have tried! I picked up a fresh 6 pack of cans last week that was only a week and a half old, and it just doesn't work for me. At $15 a 6er (which is what it costs in Chicago) I am going home with this every time:

    Dogfish Head. It's either homeruns or strike outs in my book.

    Boulevard (Rye on Rye was a chore) and Southern Tier (not eveyrthing should be imperialized, but the 2x series is solid)

    Good ole Shipyard. Most of their beers are average to mediocre but they do make some stuff that I like.
