    Yeah, makes sense for sure. All of the shenanigans aside, I feel they put out pretty solid beer. I have loved the "Bomber Box" recently and the mixed 12 pack they released this summer......and I thought Xocoveza was awesome.

    Founders? This must be a joke, right? Their lineup across the board is great, in my opinion.

    It's so funny, what all of this tells me is that I need to drink more american beer, I spend so much of my time in belgium (metaphorically speaking) that I don't ever make time to really sample the good american breweries at least not enough of them

    I think you're right about being on the "wrong coast" for Stone. Really much of the Stone we get here is all the hopped out beers, that can take a while to get here. I visited their World Bistro & Gardens and was really impressed. They had a bunch of different styles and collaborations on their menu. Definitely changed my mind about them.

    Not everyone rates the beers they drink.

    To the OP's question: I've only had a couple of Maine Beer Co.'s offerings, but each has been a let down. I wonder if my expectations are just high because their prices are high?

    Have you had Enjoy By? Because it's seriously incredible. All of their collabs are great too. Xocoveza was excellent.

    Their IPAs are overrated if not consumed fresh. Tell me you haven't had Great before.

    Two Brothers from Chicago, their beer is average at best.

    Enjoy by is the reason I figure I am on the wrong coast. I have seen this twice. Both times it has only had a few days left to Enjoy so have not bought it. It would take me a couple weeks to finish it. I am not a total snob on IPA freshness, but it is important to me. The Xocoveza has never been seen here...at least by me.

    what little I have had from rogue was a little disappointing but it's been so long I probs need to revisit them since they have such an extensive line and I haven't had too many of them

    I have to say unfortunately they have some good stuff but I think Three Floyds is the most overrated brewery. Zombie Dust is good however extremely overrated.
