What brewery has grown on you?

I love these threads as they always prompt me to make an effort to try new breweries. I can't say I have much to contribute though. I guess Cedar Creek's IPAs have impressed me lately. Especially now that they have date codes. I know I'm probably late to this party, but since Jolly Pumpkin has been here, I've been drinking a lot of their stuff. Top notch sours IMO.

 

Martin House. I think they've really upped their game. The Cellerman's Reserve had been some of the "juiciest" IPA I've come across lately. Their special releases have been good and a lot of fun, like "Mind on my Money" and "Kafkaesque".

Good job, Martin House.

I also think Abita has upped their game. Check out " Wrought Iron" and "Big Easy". Both very solid beers.

Exactly the place I had in mind when I opened the thread.

 

Echoing @aschwab Jester King, I liked them previously but now they're one of my favorite breweries and my neighborhood spot since I only live about 10 minutes away.

Karbach is another, their barrel program is getting better and better.

 

I've always liked Oasis. I've never had a problem with Metamodern, it always tastes great to me. I recently tried He-man Session Hater, I saw it on tap at Axelrad. Holy balls, I think that's one of the best IPA's I've ever had. If you see it, get it!

 

Also, Martin House Salty Lady makes a fuckin awesome beerita

 

Surely that was a diy project, post your recipe, heading to florida in a couple of days, might grab a sixer of this

 

It was pretty simple, my father-in-law made me a margarita and then I poured half of a Salty Lady into it. It's a great warm weather beer, have fun in Florida!

 

Even when it was cool to hate on Ranger Creek, I always had good expierence with and enjoyed their beers, except MSP.

I was never a big fan of Karbach, but I got hooked on BBH and now really enjoy most of their year round stuff.

 

As far as out of state, I guess Deutches would be one I find myself drinking more of. It all started with Fresh Squeezed IPA, then I started trying their other stuff. (And I know I misspelt the brewery name, I'm not a scientist so get off my balls about it !!!!)

 

I never disliked Ranger Creek, but I have to say that they've absolutely been killing it lately.

 

They've grown on me like an STD. Not in a bad way, but in a 'everyone is happy in the commercials for the medication' way. And yes, they are killing it.

 

Before moving to Texas permanently I had tried a few Real Ale beers and thought it was fine, but nothing special. However, I've really started to appreciate the overall quality of their lineup.

 

I've always thought Real Ale was pretty solid, but after having quite a few of their MV beers over the last year or two, I'm an even bigger fan.

Choosing one, I would say 512. When they first started with 3 beers, I thought they were crazy overrated and the lack of local choices at the time was really helping them, but over the years, they've produced quite a few seasonals and one-offs that I've liked. They're not my favorite local or anything, but they're pretty solid overall.

 

I want that 512 IPA available in bottle or cans...

 

I'd like to see more consistency from their beers. I had Aurora on tap and really enjoyed it, but had a bottle that was undrinkable.

 

In Oklahoma: Anthem, wasn't a huge fan of them at first. Now, I buy any of their stuff without research, no regrets.

 

B-52 is doing some very exciting things.
