I have breweries that I buy stuff from seasonally.
Bells
Toppling Goliath
Founders
Lagunitas
Sierra Nevada
Firestone walker
Cigar city

Drink two or three and then Vodka soda if I want to get really sauced

Not familiar with the first two, but I’m a big Sierra Nevada fan (will try any IPA or pale ale they come out with), and Cigar City Jai Alai is my current #1 fav.

Get it confused with Sweet Water. The ones with fish on the case are usually auto turn offs for me.

Good call on the Cigar City brews.  I stumbled across some over the weekend and it's one of my new faves.

Caught our local spot at the right time. Whole cart was less than $40. :love:

Anyone have a beer they really like and then try it later and are like wow this tastes awful. Like have my tastes changed that much or could they really have adjusted the formula enough/had a bad batch to make it terrible?

UPDATE: discovered it tastes a lot better out of the glass (but still a little weird) but am craving it again now. So pretty sure it was my tastes after all. Crazy.

Also makes me realize I need to try new beers out of the can/bottle and poured into a glass for the full experience.

Absolutely love a couple in particular. Big Timber, Country Boy, Greenbrier Valley Brewing, and Stumptown Ales are probably top of the list. If you get a chance to try any of them, take it.

I quite like both Brewery Emperial and Stockyards.  I haven't tried all that many on this list since I don't live there, but these ranking surprised me.

It's not like either are bad? Try the top 3 next time you are in town and compare.

Do they like any actually good beer in HK? I just assume they don’t.

Never had it and looks like I’d have to go to that liquor store that I don’t prefer even though it’s nearby if I wanted to try it.

Carlsberg isn't very good. Why are you even asking?

I have not had a lot of these but I'm surprised City Barrel is as low as it is on your list. Crane is my favorite out of KC but I'm a sucker for sours.

They overpromised and underdelivered. I think 15 is fair - but not a ton of separation between 11-16.
