I understand what you are saying, my point still holds true though. While yes those are great beers, there are definitely other breweries that have just as good beers but don't get as much hype. My example is wicked weeds pernicious IPA, no one really talks about it but I hold that IPA up against most others (and I've had heady). There have been many people who have done blind taste test and picked the non heady brew many times, couple on here that I have seen. My point is there may be 2 oranges picked from the same tree but one of those oranges is mass marketed as being limited, so person A will pay more for that orange just because it was marketed that way. But in the end both those oranges are great oranges. That's all I was trying to say.
I do understand that. And I wasn't trying to say that the hype train beers were the be all end all greatest beers of all time. I was only pointing out that most of these can back up the hype with actual quality.
It's fun to play into the hype and seek out those beers on occasion. But I'm also perfectly aware that there are beers of equal quality with less notoriety.
