What beer do you advocate for?

Lagers in general. I'm not a huge Lager fan but I don't believe they get fair judgment. There's so much more to lagers than American Adjunct Lagers and Pilsners.

 

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Lagers and drink them quite often, but I much prefer Ale's over Lagers.

Nothing beats a good German Pilsner on the lawn mower these days

 

More love for 2 of my favorite styles: Eisbocks and Weizenbocks

 

I live a few hours from 18th St and while they are starting to pick up a bit of hype, I still think they are a bit underrated on here (very small distro area so it's understandable). Their Hunter series and especially BA stuff (bitch b crazy in particular) is out of this world good. I'd put bitch b crazy up there with just about any BA stout - it's phenomenal!

 

Commodore Perry IPA. I know it has a pretty solid rating on here, but I think its a bit under appreciated (perhaps with the English IPA style in general).

 

Heretic Brewing. Jamil is a class act and he makes awesome beer. I think if they were in New England they'd be all the rage around these parts.

More specific beers from them: Evil Cousin, Evil Twin, CHP and Torment.

 

Monday Night - Drafty Kilt - This beer needs more love from Georgia drinkers. It's an amazing Scotch Ale (best from the state IMO) and readily available. It has been a favorite of mine for a while and I've been trying to convert as many people as I can.

 

Same here. I'm a big defender/advocate of lagers on these boards.

 

I also advocate for most forms of Lager (sorry, IPL).

For a specific beer (which I cited in the favorite lager thread currently running) - New England Brewing Company Pilsner. The brewery has the respect of hop heads (Gandhi-Bot, Fuzzy Baby Ducks, Coriolis, etc.) but they can brew a respectable version of a German Pilsner. The beer is currently on hiatus until a new brewhouse is installed. Should be back by year end, grab a sixer in support!

Dogfish Head Festine Peche

and The Stone Roses

 

OH beer in general. I think there is a lot of great things going on here with more on the way. I hope HB 68 goes through to raise our ABV limit from 12% to 21%, similar to IN. If that happens, look for some awesome big beers coming out of here.

For a specific beer, I chirp quite a bit about Seventh Son's Humulus Nimbus. I think it's a top notch PA and I try to spread it around as extras as much as possible.

 

DuClaw Retribution and DuClaw Devil's Due.

Fantastic BA stout and a fantastic BA Stout/Barleywine blend.

 

Don't know if this one counts, but I feel that Fresh Squeezed IPA from Deschutes is generally underrated. I love that stuff and when I finally get a kegerator that will be the first thing I tap with it.

 

Anything by 5 Stone Brewery (Austin area).
Ninkasi Total Domination
Port Townsend (WA) Brewery Strait Stout

I realize that 5 Stone and Port Townsend Brewery are not widely available, but if you are in the area, DO NOT MISS THESE!

 

The Abita Bourbon Street BA beers have been really good & I also like Beyond the Pale from Stevens Point. It really showcases Galaxy hops.
Also Gossamer from Half Acre & the Copper Lager from Metropolitan are top notch.

 

The Calling IPA from Boulevard. My favorite IPA in bottled/canned multi-pack distribution

 

I advocate for most german hefes, so underated.
