What are some breweries that (as a whole) you consider pretty average that produce, in what you consider, an exceptional beer?

For me: Saint Arnold's Pumpkinator. Saint Arnold's lineup as a whole (fancy lawnmower, weedwhacker, santo, brown, and Christmas Ale) is pretty average in my opinion. It's nothing too get crazy about or really rave about. But, their Pumpkinator Pumpkin Stout is nothing short of spectacular in my opinion.

Agree/Disagree? Any breweries you'd like to throw out there?

i disagree with that... I mean I like Pumpkinator and all, but I don't consider it exceptional

Sierra Nevada would fit this role for me. Most of what I have had of theirs is "average", or maybe "good", but Hoptimum and Narwhal are fantastic

Christmas Ale


Had this for the first time saturday. I thought it was pretty good. It wasn't anything astounding, but i enjoyed it. I love pumpkinator, and i here their bishop barrel brews are pretty amazing.

I think St. Arnold's is on an upswing right now.

I am not a huge beer drinker, but I do enjoy the Abita Springs Stawberry beer when the season comes around. They only use fresh strawberries in the beer, so it is a seasonal beer. Covington Brewery also has a strawberry flavor, but they do not use fresh strawberries.
