I realize from a craft beer drinkers perspective saying Ranger/Rampant are better than Henry Weinhards isn’t saying much but I don’t think Ranger/Rampants core audience is the craft beer drinker. I think they want to use those beers as gateway beers. And I think they are catering the LoF series towards ceaft beer drinkers.

New Belgium has a talent for throwing things together without putting any thought into the final product. Random spices, fruit and vegetables added without reason to poorly-made base beer. New Belgium beers are also force-carbonated and pasteurized, while the Smokestack series are unpasteurized and bottle-conditioned (and Boulevard remains one of the few American breweries doing bottle-conditioning right). you use the word inventive and I think that’s a poor choice. NBB is throwing darts at the wall and hoping something works, but few of their beers do. Boulevard, meanwhile, offers a brett Saison with actual live brettanomyces in it, they make one of the best Belgian-style imperial stouts in the world, and even the over-done ho-hum wheat wine style (Harvest Dance) shows they are at the top of the game.

NB Brett Beer was almost as bad as Green Flash Rayon Vert. Both beers are train wrecks and were fun to drain pour.

I find it hard to believe not everyone shares the same opinion on every beer.
