Brewery of the Year
Hi! Remember me? This is my blog. I write here sometimes. Miss me?
Anyway, I recently responded to a thread on BeerAdvocate.com titled “Your Brewery of the Year and why?” I just wanted to repost my response here:
Southern Tier. They have no offerings that I will refuse outright. Their seasonals are solid offerings, and their new options are mighty tasty, too.
As they’ve expanded, a lot of smaller bars around here are carrying their IPA as an “import”, “gourmet”, or whatever. It easily qualifies as a great standby beer that I can’t drink too much of. Also, local grocery stores have started carrying their bomber-sized brews, so the ability to slip a bottle of Unearthly into the cart when my wife isn’t looking is fantastic. I mean, how great is it that I can just snag a top ten beer (on my list) for $5 after grabbing some shampoo and a dozen eggs? Pretty great, in my opinion.
So, yeah. Southern Tier. A great brewery with what seems like some really cool people working for it. I really need to find the time to get down there and pay a visit.
Why don’t you pay a visit to that thread on BeerAdvocate and post what’s your Brewery of the Year?
