When I tasted it again, it reminded me that it’s a quality brew. Ryan Tefft, assistant brewer at Sprecher Brewing Company in Glendale, Wisconsin To find them, we tasked a handful of well-known craft beer experts, brewers, and beer professionals to tell us their picks for the most underrated European beers on the market right now. Pub beers aside, there are countless other classics - from pilsners to lagers to lambics - that have been perfected in Europe and just don’t get enough love on this side of the pond. Chewy, biscuity base malt paired with rich caramel and chocolate malt flavors and fruity English yeast! What’s not to love?” “Standard bitter and dark mild both are beers big on flavor but low in ABV. “English pub beers in general get short shrift here in the States,” says Andrew Frazee, brewer at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. Naturally, we tend to stick with beers from well-known craft brewers or the craft outfit in our neighborhood - forgetting the European trailblazers who made our favorite IPAs, stouts, pilsners, and sour ales possible (and the breweries still crafting those high-quality beers today). The general lack of love for certain Euro-brews is likely because we have so, so many craft breweries to choose from here in the US (over 9,000 at last count).
And that sense of being overlooked by media and core aficionados is certainly evident in the crowded world of beer, especially when it comes to European brews.
To us it’s not strictly about popularity, it’s more that something doesn’t get the credit or praise that it deserves. Saying that something is underrated is a little tricky because the very concept of what underrated means is different for everyone.
