Top 3 Underrated Beers?

[Toga]

My top 3 favorite underrated brews are:

1. Founders Red's Rye PA
2. Dark Horse Crooked Tree IPA
3. Great Lakes Brewing company Burning River Pale ale

 

[HawksBrewer]

1) Revolution Anti-Hero. Best IPA on the market IMO.
2) Pipeworks Blood of the Unicorn. If you can find a beer with better aroma I will gladly accept it!
3) Sixpoint Resin. I don't see it mentioned much, but I dig it.

 

[Retire2016]

1. Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout - You might think it's good, but it's still underrated.
2. Almost anything from Short's Brewery - Especially Huma Lupa Licious!!
3. Kona's Pipeline Porter - should be in every store, everywhere!

 

[Andrikos]

Rogue Maple Bacon Donut Spruce Pinecone pube Stout.






















Just kidding...

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.

Pumking is too sweet for me, I can't drink it at all. NN is great, but overrated if anything.

1 - Troegs Java Head
2 - CBC Charles River Porter
3 - Schlafly Pumpkin Ale

 

[Weezy]

Troegs Nugget Nectar would be on my list too. They really hit a home run with that one. Nice marriage of flavors and caramels vs. bitterness.

Straub? They next generation took over and is getting quite crafty with some small batch releases that they're getting out on taps. good stuff and it's nice to see an older, small, brewery with an American lager tradition evolve as it is.

Yuengling Black & Tan. It's the American Schwartzbeer category all to itself.

I'll add most things out of Great Lake, but I'll point out The Lake Erie Monster (Imperial IPA) is my fav of the category.

I've been drinking the crap out of that lately. Man oh man is it delicious.

Of course, the first time I had it was at a sports bar and I didn't realize it was over 9% abv... Surprise!

Huh, I think it's really drinkable for a spiced fall beer @ around 8%. That's why I like it.

I picked up a sixer of Nugget Nectar for the Super Bowl right before the game. The store (Premier) didn't even have out on the shelves yet, found it stacked up in the keg cooler. According to the stamp on the bottles, it had been bottled 3 days before I drank it that night. Pretty special.

Ooh, if I could add a fourth to my list, Great Lakes Dortmunder Export. I love that stuff, my most medaled homebrew was my attempt at cloning that beer.

I'd have to throw Nugget Nectar on the list
Terrapin brewing's So Fresh So Green yearly line
Racer 5

Yes all IPA's....I'm sooo last year.

I can't say that Nugget Nectar is underrated...people go crazy over that beer when it releases. It's all personal preference, and I would never tell anybody that their tastes are wrong; but I think NN is probably the single-most overrated beer I have ever had. I never thought it was very good. Actually, last night I was drinking a Lagunitas Lucky 13 and thinking about how much better of an imperial red/amber it is than NN.

I think it's great. You really need to have it super fresh.

But, it's definitely far from underrated. It wasn't very long ago that I could barely find any because people were buying stores out of it on the day it arrived.

 

[Apendecto]

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

Amen to Lion Stout. Talk about bang for your buck and taste for your buck. Even my BMC friends like that shiz.

 

[Dave1096]

All three of these are highly rated but still underrated, in my opinion, for one reason or another:

3. Lagunitas Hop Stoopid - Alot of people like to mention how good it is for the price as if it's only good because it's so cheap.

2. St. Bernardus Christmas Ale - Even better than Abt 12, in my mind.

1. Odell Myrcenary - I know this beer is held in high regard, but why it isn't as notorious as beers like Hopslam is beyond me.

My personal top three beers that I never hear about or see a lot.

Lazy Magnolia Jefferson Stout: It's brewed with sweet potatoes and is my top beer of choice.

Crooked Letter Gypsy IPA: A beautiful showcase of hops.

Lucky Town Flare Incident: A oatmeal stout that I'm partial too.

Now all of these are southern Mississippi or Louisiana beers but if you get a chance to try these don't pass you won't be disappointed!

 

[BadDeacon]

I am south MS as well and echo those tributes whole hearted lay!!!!

My 3 are:

PBR, Coors Banquet, and Beamish.

1.) Thomas Creek Up The Creek Extreme IPA

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.

I would agree with the lack of talk about Thomas Creek. Their Imperial Porter is one of the best dark beers I've ever had. Great stuff. If anyone is a porter or stout fan, give it a try. Wonderful Baltic Porter.

 

[rynoryan]

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

I literally just had a hop stoopid last night. I've haven't heard a lot of fuss on this one. I'm not even a big iipa fan, but that was damn good beer. So I say good call on that one.

 

[argyle]

Straub
Carling Black Label
Michelob Amber Bock

Oh and Caffrey's Irish Ale!

 

[Inkleg]

Hum, lets see.......
1. Mine
2. Mine
3. Mine

Yep, that about covers it.

 

[STB]

1.Boxer Lager- Minhas Brewery nothing better with a plate of nachos.
2.Tank House Ale- Mill St. Brewery my go to at the beer store.
3.Hop Head IPA- Tree Brewing probably the best west coast IPA in Canada.

 

[JimRausch]

1. I'll also go with Lion Stout
2. Long Trail Double Bag
3. Atlantic Brewing Coal Porter
And if I were to add a 4th, I'd go with Sam Adams Boston Lager

 

[RedOktoberfest]

Sixpoint sweet action
Allagash triple
Smoked beers (enjoying a schlenkeria oak smoked doppelbock right now!)

 

[HeavyKettleBrewing]

From what I can get locally:

NB Rampant IPA
Stone Cali-Belgique
Moretti

 

[McBrewskie]

Craft stuff gets so much love that I don't see many as underrated. I will go with these 3 as ones I like that are commercial and underrated by beer drinkers.

Bohemia
St. Pauli Girl
Smithwicks

 

[MaxStout]

Ditto on the Schlenkerla Oak Doppelbock. It's hard to find around here, but a store near me gets in a few bottles once in a while and I buy them all out. Nothing like that smoky goodness with a nice steak dinner. I should have them order me a case when the next run of it comes out around Christmas.

 

[BMClark2210]

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

Haha if I could like this I would lol
