    Was just about to add this one. Thought it had an almost perfect blend of bourbon and stout flavors.

    Jack's Abby is getting some love lately, but Framinghammer is their best beer and hasn't yet been bottled. I believe it's their best beer, and if it ever gets bottled, it'll be a stud.

    Yep. This is just as good as Citra and gets none of the hype. when I lived in CA, I loved being able to roll up there on release day and not have to deal with crowds. Amazing DIPA.

    Several from both Weyerbacher and Sixpoint; in particular Double Simcoe and Blithering Idiot from the former, Sweet Action and Bengali Tiger from the latter.

    How are these sleepers?? Both are ranked 100 on BA and the trading forums can't go 20 minutes without someone looking for the stuff. That's like someone saying the 49er's are a sleeper pick for next years superbowl.

    I was gonna say Elissa IPA, Summer Pils and PUMPKINATOR (cue angelic chorus) to name a few underrated but amazing Saint Arnold's beers.

    Also any limited releases by Adelbert's in Austin, TX are great

    You probably don't know the Kulshan Brewery unless you're from northern Washington, but as soon as they start canning and distributing their beers I think they are going to get a lot of attention. The Bastard Kat IPA and Midnight CDA are both exceptional.

    Came here to say this exactly, great minds and what have you.
    So for an original thought, Flying Fish Exit 16. Best thing to come out of South Jersey period

    I don't know if it's just me, but Bombshell Blonde (also from Southern Star) is my favourite summer/blonde/youknowwhatI'mtryingtosay beer, 512 Pecan Porter is super tasty, and I really liked the 512 IPA as well.
    OOh: also, Live Oak has a rull rull good Hefeweizen. If we're talking about Texas beers.

    Port City Porter - random buy at a Total Wine, one of the best porters Ive ever had
    Sweetwater IPA - though it is getting more recognition lately
    Widmer Drifter - this should be their flagship beer, not their mediocre Hefe
    Fish Tale Amber and IPA - solid Northwest style gems
    Deschutes Bachelor ESB - maybe the best American ESB
