Southeast Michigan Breweries

Kuhnhenn's taplist might not be as exciting as it used to be, but the none of the other places you list come close to Kuhnhenn in terms of quality, which I think was @Alextricity 's point. Witch's Hat is the closest, but honestly other that Big Doedish, nothing on on their usual taplists has impressed me all that much.

 

So extreme=quality?

I did enjoy the Gose at WH a few weeks back.

 

Not sure what you mean by that, and I certainly didn't say that. The two Kuhnhenn beers I drink the most are Fluffer and DRIPA, and neither a session IPA nor a DIPA are particularly extreme. I guess you could call 4D extreme, and certainly the super rare stuff like the BBAs and the Eisbocks. Is Crème Brûlée Stout extreme?

I guess my point is that for me, Kuhnhenn wins across the board and would be great even without their "extreme" beers, though they are a damn good topping cherry.

Re: Witches' Hat, I really enjoyed their Gose they had last summer, but didn't care for the new one (the Andrew one.) And again, I don't dislike WH - they're probably in my top 2 or 3 in SE Mich, behind Kuhnhenn and probably just ahead of JP.

 

The Big Dodish comment made me think you were a bigger is better beer drinker.

There are some newer places making beers with out technical flaws, well in most of their beers.

There are a couple that win GABF awards often that don't get discussed - Bastogne and Redwood Lodge for example.

 

No, I'm pretty sure Alextricity's point was that he hasn't visited too many SE Michigan Breweries outside of Kuhnhenn.

 

All ill say is I completely disagree about quality in regards to Kuhn v Hat...But I do agree with you as far as the other breweries....Also disagree with you about the Gose' as IMO this version of their gose is far superior...But maybe I just like sour gose' better...
