Yeah, the stuff I had last year at Volo was great. I look forward to trying more Hopfenstark.

In an upcoming column I’m going to lay out a few great Bavarian breweries that you never hear about. Stuff that doesn’t make it to the US never gets due appreciation.

I don’t know if people are, but I am. I haven’t had the new beers though.

Also, Avery


I don’t know that it belongs in this forum but any brewery that comes up with Yeti is worthy of high praise.

Avery is overrated.

Their special releases the last year or so have all been very strong. Sculpin, Victory At Sea and Sea Monster, to name a few.

gonna chuck a few in here, that will probably raise eyebrows...
Triple Rock? 21st Amendment? Gadds? Schooners? Valley?

I love’em but they often fall off the radar.

You should share some of the 3 Guys Off the Scale if you still have some. nyat nyat!

Lagunitas has done an awesome job with Hop Stoopid. I need to buy that by the case and start trying more of their other stuff.


Hop Stoopid @ $3.69 in Idaho? Hands down, THE best value beer today...

I would have to agree with dark horse. They sure know how to make strong beer (they are the kings at hiding alcohol). I will agree with hoppin frog as well. They don’t make many different beers, but their DIPA and stout are great. 7/1/2009 9:16:07 AM

+1 on both of those. I can get just about everything Dark Horse does, but really wish I could get CW more than a couple times a year. Both put out some really nice stuff.

others for me are Dark Horse, Furthermore, and Schell (moreso lately)

I’d mention Sierra Nevada and Ommegang but I don’t consider them to be underappreciated.
