For me it’s got to be Batham’s. 139 years old. They do three beers: a Best Bitter and a Mild, plus XXX which is only available at Christmas. The Best is the only one available bottled. Really enjoy the Best and Mild. The XXX is Ok too.

I know a lot of beer enthusiasts who would 100% agree with you.

You guys really figure De Cam, De Ranke, de la Senne, Heater Allen, and De Dolle beers are merely "solid"? As in "solid but unexceptional"?

It’s all subjective, but many beers from those breweries are exceptional in my book.

Or are these examples mostly because they tend to stick with the same lineup every year?

Full Sail Session, though they have been adding some new additions to the line

I’ll second the Heller and North Coast votes.

When I lived in Jax, Intuition was my go to. They did some new beers here and there at the brewery but I didn’t get over there much, so when I needed a go-to brew, I would often grab a fresh local sixer of theirs, whatever fit my mood at the moment. Back then they only had three canned beers out regularly, a pale, an IPA, and a Kolsch. I drank a lot of that IPA when I lived there!
