Top 3 Underrated Beers?

[BreezyBrew]

What are your fav beers to drink that might not get all that much attention? Here's my 3:

1: Stone Self Righteous Ale
2: Lagunitas Hop Stoopid
3: Dogfish Head India Brown Ale

 

[Nightshade]

Boy tough call but currently

Avery Maharaja
No Li Born and Raised (IPA)
Bale Breaker Top Cutter (IPA)


Lots of IPAs on my list

 

[KGB09]

Just curious... Where are you from Nightshade? I'm from Spokane and trying to see how far No Li has made it.

 

[kaz4121]

1. Goose Island IPA
2. Green Flash Palate Wrecker
3. Stone Cali-Belgique

 

[passedpawn]

Lazy Magnolia Timber Beast.

Never see this mentioned, but it's a very good IIPA. I guess Mississippi beers don't get much cred.

 

[RCCOLA]

Left Hand 400 Pound Monkey: Nice EIPA that people under-rate b/c it's not overhopped
French Broad Rye Hopper APA
Dos Equis Amber: Fav go to at the Mexican restaurant

I've got to agree on the Dos Equis Amber!

Also...

Boneyard RPM (Hop venom gets most of the hype)
Goodlife Descender
Everybody's Local Lager

 

[BigJack]

Great Divide Oak Aged Yeti

Ska Modus Hoperandi IPA

St. Arnold Santo

 

[Nightshade]

Just curious... Where are you from Nightshade? I'm from Spokane and trying to see how far No Li has made it.

I am in the Tri-cities, Richland to be specific and I am very impressed with all their brews so far.

I'm beginning to wonder if you people know what underrated means!

OK.

Old Milwaukee. Mmm.

And I love me some Straubs (hello, PA!).

Lazy Magnolia Timber Beast.

Never see this mentioned, but it's a very good IIPA. I guess Mississippi beers don't get much cred.

I've been praising Timber Beast (on the What are you drinking now thread) since it hit Florida. Awesome rye DIPA, or would it be a DRIPA?

 

[FarmerTed]

1. Snake River Zonker Stout (cuz I'm drinking one right now and it's awesome).
2. Snake River Pako's IPA (cuz I wish I was drinking one next).
3. Firestone-Walker Velvet Merlin (just cuz).

 

[whitehause]

OK.

Old Milwaukee. Mmm.

And I love me some Straubs (hello, PA!).

Straubs.....Man, I'm from PA and haven't heard that one in forever.

 

[25518]

1. Dogfishhead, Punkin ale
2. Firestone, Velvet Merlin
3. Laguntias, Coffee stout, I think was the name of it. It was a bomber. And tasted bad.

 

[passedpawn]

Straubs.....Man, I'm from PA and haven't heard that one in forever.

Love that stuff. I get a case whenever I get up there.

 

[BigJack]

I'm beginning to wonder if you people know what underrated means!

OK- I confess. I occasionally enjoy a Schlitz, a Lone Star, or a Shiner Bock and I don't care who knows it.

 

[dannypo]

1. Ayinger Altbiarisch Dunkel.
Probably my favorite German beer.

2. Poperinge Hommelbier.
I never hear anybody talk about this delicious hoppy golden ale.

3. Short's Huma Lupa Licious.
It never seems to get the love that other IPAs get and its a go to for me.

 

[Brulosopher]

Trumer Pils... x3

 

[Magialisk]

1.) Thomas Creek Up The Creek Extreme IPA
2.) Weihenstephaner Korbinian Dopplebock
3.) Can't decide, I'll have to try again later

Regarding Thomas Creek, I've never heard anyone mention this beer, this brewery, or even the state of SC when talking about favorite beers. They were a total unknown to me and I've never tried anything else of theirs, but this one is a serious winner if maltiness is your style.

As far as Weihenstephaner, their Hefeweissbier is frequently praised all over the place, but I never seem to see anyone mention the Korbinian.

 

[KGB09]

1. Deschutes-Jubelale
2. Big Sky-Moose Drool
3. Ninkasi/21st Amendment-Allies Win the War

 

[ryno1981]

Lagunitatas cappuccino stout!! Just one, but I truly think this beer is great!

 

[BreezyBrew]

Going to go with 3 more "Dark Horse" picks here:

Dogfish Head - Noble Rot
Green Flash- Le Freak
Boulevard - Tank 7

 

[smizak]

1. Dogfishhead, Punkin ale

Southern Tier Pumking DESTROYS that beer.

1. Ayinger Altbairisch Dunkel
2. Southern Tier Live (when fresh)
3. Not sure if you would consider it under-rated but Troegs Nugget Nectar blows me away every year.

 

[DromJohn]

O'Dempsey's Big Red Ale
Pedernales Classic IPA
Berghoff Dark (Minhas)

 

[MaxStout]

Lion Stout - $2.99 bombers at my neighborhood liquor store, and quite good
Surly Bender (not as ubiquitous as Furious in this area, but one of my Surly faves)
Boulevard Tank 7

 

[ktblunden]

- Kern River Class V Stout (everyone talks about Citra, but this imperial stout is amazing)
- Stone Pale Ale (I've been guilty of going right past it to the hoppier stuff they offer, but this one really is a great beer)
- DFH Midas Touch (there's just something about this one I really like)

 

[shadows69]

Pabst blue ribbon
lionshead
shocktop

 

[Johnnyhitch1]

Pyramid Apricot
NEBC Gandhi-bot (althought gaining huge traction now)
Thirsty dog Siberian Night

 

[Xpertskir]

most of the Alpine hop forward beers. They get some hype, but nowhere near the other beers in their peer group(Heady Topper, Pliny, Sculpin, ect.) Funny thing is, they are as good or better than the aforementioned peer group. As far as consistent hoppy offerings, they are tops.


Surly Furious. They get some hype, especially among homebrewers(probably due to the NB kits) but not the amount it should.
