It can be a big brewery that is taken for granted, or a smaller brewery that has a limited distribution area, or an up and coming brewery that is well on its way to being on the overrated list.

It will be interesting to see if any breweries are on the over and under rated lists...

My picks:

Big brewery - Oskar Blues. Solid lineup. So readily available that nobody talks about them.

Small brewery on the rise - Block 15. They can't supply beer to Portland. They make great beers across the board.

Cycle Brewing is never talked about here, but it receives a lot of acclaim elsewhere.

So perhaps only underrated within this community?

I'm not going to say they're underrated as they get a lot of praise, but it usually isn't loud praise like most breweries - Sierra Nevada.

2nd Shift and Wiseacre are breweries we get here in Nashville that are underrated.

Big brewery - I agree...Oskar Blue

Small brewery - in the state of LA, Bayou Teche is underrated. They make some awful beer, but they also make some fantastic beer that never gets talked about or hyped on this board.

Here in LA, I think its Chafunkta. I think that Kingfish and Vo ka ray are both really solid and never talked about

Did some more thinking about this topic this morning -- Thirsty Dog and Allagash came to mind. Both are breweries that I cut my teeth on, but they largely go unmentioned here, and they typically aren't high on the ISO lists elsewhere. Both make damn good beer. Allagash's barrel program is one of my favorites.

For a bigger brewery that gets little recognition, Brooklyn.

Very good beer, but it saddens me that their PA/IPAs are basically shelf turds. It's rare that I find them fresh so I don't drink their beer often.

Boulevard in Kansas City. They're starting to make their way South. Their Smokestack series (mostly available in 750mL bottles) are incredible.

Underrated?

4 Hands in St Louis is making some stellar BA stouts and doesn't get much hype. Their Volume One is outstanding.

Creature Comforts in Athens is getting some hype but is doing some solid work. May be the best brewery in GA that relatively few have heard of.

TRVE in Denver does a great job in a uber competitive beer town.

Well, Augustiner Bräu is the greatest brewery on Earth.

And most hop-gobbling fools have never heard of it.

So I guess that makes it the most underrated brewery, too.
