Overlooked underappreciated beers

Just tried my first boulevard (not here in NJ unfortunately), their double wide dipa, and that beer was phenomenal. Very aromatic and a burst of flavor, amazed me. Also agree with uinta, their hop notch and dubhe are very solid.

 

Fullers London Pride...

 

Boulevard Smokestack Series are pretty good. Rest of their lineup, not so much. Probably why the Smokestack Series is overlooked a lot.

 

Thirsty Dog Siberian Night is the exact beer I came here to post. It's such a great brew, a steal at less than $40/case, ages well, and is a stand-up brew in the RIS world.

 

really? i dig their pale ale, boss tom's bock, the entire smokestack series, bully are all great beers imo. dark truth is hands down one of my favorite stouts. the belgian yeast brings the dark fruit to the malt party, super complex. even the base pale ale is super complex man. i gotta disagree with you on this one.

 

Boulevard Tank 7 is my favorite Saison.

 

I'm gonna go ahead and say Fuller's in general and Lagunitas Undercover.

 

Had 20 oz. of this on tap at the brewery and it was absolutely perfect. Wonderful brew.

Smaller brewery with limited distribution makes it fly under the radar in my opinion. But here in RI I can get 12 packs of it, which is amazing.

 

Brasserie Des Rocs. IMO the most underrated brewery on Earth.

Their Grand Cru is better than Westy 12 hands down. I pour it slowly through a tea strainer, as this brewery is best known for an absurd amount of yeast floaties. There is nothing you can do to keep these out of your beer besides using a strainer, and it's pretty disconcerting when a grape-sized globule lands in your glass.

The beer itself however is world class. All their beers are. Cheap too, like 3.50 for a 12 oz

 

I'd take it a step further and say English beer in general.

 

Tank 7
Brewer`s Art Ozzy

 

I like Loch Down but feel London Porter is the most under appreciated beer in their line up.

The English Styled, balanced beers are not usually what tickles the beer geeks fancy. They do their thing and they do it well whether it is appreciated by all or not.

 

Smuttynose Big A & Wachusett Larry. Two wonderful DIPA's coming outta New England.

 

For as long as they've been around, I'd definitely add Drakes. And DuClaw gets no love around here. And I don't know why? And I would add Squatters to the mix, as well.

 

Speaking of Smuttynose and underappreciated (or at least not much mentioned), how's about their Baltic Porter?

 

Oh it is damn good.

 

Can I like this twice?

 

Yes, Storm King is amazing. Also, Hop Wallop is my absolute favorite DIPA; unfortunately, there's been a shortage of it in my area.

 

Their seasonal line up has some exceptions (IMHO). Nutcracker on tap is awesome and Zon is a great Wit. The year round stuff is average.

 

I second Lenny's.
