Most Overrated Brewery

DFH by a mile.

I hope they never come to Louisiana.

 

Haha.

I don't want them taking up shelf space that I'm holding for Firestone Walker, Deschutes, Ballast Point, Bells, etc....

 

Didn't you hear?- Those breweries are overrated, too!

 

It comes down to what you like.

Founders has some good beers for me and some misses. I like Founders but don't love it.

Bells has fewer misses and more good beers. I go there more often.

I was at Maine Beer Company in August and liked the beers, very clean and well made, but not mind blowing,

Two years ago I was in ABQ and La Cumbra had outstanding beers.

I had an Alpine beer in San Diego and thought it was one of the worst I have had in a long time, it turns out I do not like Nelson hops!

 

Against the Grain

 

They at least make a few things I'd like to see on regular basis.

 

I forgot Soceite. Their IPAs are not even in the top five in San Diego, let alone California. I don't see the hype having had everything they offered on tap the particular day I was there. Their beer average is artificially inflated because half the entries are varying versions of The Pupil. They have a cool aesthetic, but the beer just can't back it up. They also really need to diversify their lineup. Their beer doesn't even stand out amongst itself; they literally all tasted incredibly similar.

 

Jesus yes. At the Great Taste of the Midwest I poured out Pappy Bo and Luke to go get another pour of BBPT5. Citra Ass Down is pretty blah, too. Their offerings are also far too expensive for what they are. Great branding and marketing, though.

 

Stone, Sierra Nevada, Victory

 

Eh- I could say that about most breweries.

I was just pointing out that there are others who disagree in this very thread; but in the end, if it sells it will be on the shelves.

 

Quality thread, would read again.

It's obviously Lagunitas. If you answered 'New Glarus', you receive an F on this assignment

 

Glad I wasn't the first to say it! I rated/reviewed 19 of their beers. Highest rating 4.08. They are a decent brewery-but I just don't see what is so special about them.

The hype train for the Bruery has slowed down-but at one time it was totally ridiculous. Just as ridiculous if not more than Hill Farmstead right now ( I love HF-for the record). The difference is the breury has a lot of really bad beers to go along with their super-star beers.

 

I'm on the Stone as an overrated brewery bandwagon.

 

FFF and I'm a fan of their beer.

Anyone that says HF is out of their f'ing mind. Yes. Best brewery in the world. I've never been disappointed with anything I've had from them. Not even a "that was just ok". And Shaun Hill brews the best IPAs I've ever had.

 

uhm didnt we have this thread already? it reeks of bad attitude in here. I hope sam calgione comes in here and lays out the speech he gave the last time this thread came up. Get over the whole snobbism thing.

 

Sorry, that's just WRONG.

Have some Bell's Best Brown and then report back.

 

I definitely agree. Not a fan of them, New Belgium, and Victory
