Thoughts on Southern Tier

I was just about to say that. I have only had backburner and choklat. Both are amazing!

 

Really enjoy their 750ml/bomber beers, not much a fan of their 6 packs.
Their Stout 750ml are yum and I do cherish Pumpking...sorry, love everything pumpkin!

Wife is NOT a beer fan, but she loves sharing Creme Brulee and Pumpking with me.

 

Backburner was a sweet mess this is why they stopped making it perhaps?

 

It was a little sweet.

 

For the most part, I love'em. Plum Noir is probably one of the few I didn't enjoy. My only be is we don't get some we should or they show up late in SW Missouri, probably due to the not so awesome wholesalers serving that part of the state...

 

Pumpking fresh meh. Pumpking with a year on it... Completely different amazing beer. Incredible. if you havent tried it, just nut up, buy a bomber and cellar it. You will love it (most likely)!

Other than PK, i think Creme Brulee 4pk would be most excellent. Live is great too. No hate from me towards Southern Tier.

 

Plum Noir was the first ST beer that didn't quite meet my expectations, however, my expectation are very high regarding this fine brewery.

 

I did not like plum noir at first either but as it came to temperature it smoothed out lovely and I encourage you to drink this one a bit warmer. If I could go back and rerate it I would but I never saw it again.

 

Ok, so I had it tonight. It was good, definitely good, but it didn't really stand out from other saisons. It was pretty smooth, a little lemony, tart funkiness, maybe a little spicy. Probably not worth the high 750 mL price, but good for a one time purchase if you like these kind of beers.

 

I don't hate them, but sorry - I have had several of their beers since they got distro'd down here, and each has been so overwhelmingly mediocre that after the last I could not stomach any more. To each their own.

 

I enjoy Creme Brulee a lot. I prefer it on tap, since one serving is plenty for myself, but I have been known to split a bomber and be perfectly happy.

 

One of my favorite breweries I discovered early. Krampus and Iniquity are probably my two favorites, 2XIPA, 2XStout are up there too, and everything else I've had was delightful. I love their Blackwater series, although those are a little sweet so they're nothing I could drink a lot of, or drink frequently.

 

i find myself moving past their flavored stouts, but i do love Oaked Unearthly, goat boy, 2x ipa, pumpking, and goat boy. ive got some oat from 2012, that stout was a little rough fresh, ill see how well it did with some age.

 

King of dessert beers, taking availability into account.

 

Almost everything they make is very sweet and malt heavy. Not just their candy beers, but even their hoppy beers. That could be good (I don't mind it) or bad depending on your tastes.

 

Like, not love

IMO, most of their line up is pretty average and mundane.

 

If they ever did a BA Pumking (other than the just oak-aged one that's already been released) I'd be very happy. I love regular Pumking, but imagine it in a rum barrel.

 

All four are absolutely incredible. ST is one of my favorite breweries.
