scofflaw had 27000 votes last round

Which is sad because their beer is complete shite these days and their attitudes are even shittier.

A few months back you could buy one of their six packs of basement and have 3-4 completely different beers within that one six pack. I ran across this twice before giving up on basement completely. It was awesome a year ago..hazy juicy goodness..now it is a clear malty disgusting mess. POG Basement is also not the same beer it used to be and still a malty mess
When confronted about it they basically said 'wdgaf' and 'buy something else then..' which is fine but when it is accompanied by a picture of the entire staff flipping a bird and then ranting about how they have the shittiest choice of hops while making up a story about starting in their parents' basement yet having huge millions of dollars initial investment and saying "frick you we are fricking Scofflaw!" it makes their bitter malty mess...well, quite sour.

If you search you can find articles galore or do a search on /atlbeer subreddit

A ton of people love their inconsistent malty goop and it shows with their sales. I am not one of them.
Your mileage may vary.

While i completely understand not wanting to patronize a brewery if i was in your situation, lots of breweries present this type of attitude to the public, to show off they are counter culture and do what they want.

I find the breweries that quietly brew up incredible beer and are nice tend to last longer. You can only say "frick you, we do what we want" to so many people before someone says, "well i'll buy beer from someone who isn't a dick" assuming quality is equal.

The worst is when they get political. It's beer, be proud of it. Don't insert a wedge between your customers by picking sides in politics.

Sorry for the blind links. Trying to multi task. There is some atlbeer subreddit discussions. You may have to dig a little further but therre are plenty of articles that came out in the fall. And nope not brent

I'm pretty familiar with their overreaction to criticism, which is mainly because of their top guy, I believe. He's a pretty nice dude I understand, but everything is over the top with them. I think their whole "we are who we are, like us or don't, frick off" thing is a little tired and overdone (Vortex, Bone Garden, etc.). Hopefully they'll dial it back, but people like the beer so much that they'll keep reinforcing all of that attitude and sucking up.

As for the QC issues, I haven't experienced any and I drink a ton of Scofflaw at home and at the brewery. It's probably more consistent now than it was 8-10 months ago IMO.

this isnt really a best brewery bracket, it is a who's voted more times bracket

Exactly. Don't put too much thought into this crap bracket of who can get the most votes using social media.

No way Nola makes it out of the first rd vs CC if this bracket was based on blind taste test results. The bracket idea would be fun if you had experts taste various beers from each brewery then vote.

There is some new IPA by Monday Night I saw a write up on but can't find. Can't remember the name off the top of my head. I like Monday Night but got a little bored with their offerings.

Jekyll is rapidly improving IMO. I thought for a while they were going to go into that Red Brick/Red Hare category of decent but forgettable.
