What is your most UNDERrated brewery?
Posted on 7/21/15 at 11:33 pm

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.

Agree with that. I'd put Green Flash along those same lines. Never had a beer from them I didn't like.
Here locally in the Houston area, every beer I've tried from Texian (Richmond, TX) has been decent to good. Nothing that will blow you away, but I haven't been disappointed either. Unfortunately, their beers are rarely placed on shelves. I shame Fort Bend Brewing, which was complete garbage, was all over the city while Texian has struggled to get on.

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.

agreed, I like they are trying different styles. They need to ditch some of the regular line up to add peach ipa and cocodrie

Agree. Brief conversation with one of the owners...he told me they were thinking of putting the Peach IPA into a regular 6-pack lineup.

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.

I realized the other day when I was working that I know next to nothing about our local breweries beyond Parish and Nola. I guess I just look over most of them. Not good to do.
I've had a few beer people tell me they love Bayou Teche. I need to give them a 2nd look because I have only had a few things and all were just okay.
Kingfish is a cream ale, which isn't really my style. And I haven't had Voo Ka Ray, but I didn't mind the Irish Red they do... Bayou Blaze.

Kingfish may be consistently the worst Louisiana made beer.

There are super hit or miss. Some of their styles are not popular for a reason.
