Funky Buddha/Troegs/Anchor/allagash/istock/Uproxx When many drinkers think about wheat beers, they imagine hazy, humid summer days — sun-filled scorchers where an unfiltered wheat beer adorned with a slice of orange is as appealing to the eye as it is to the palate.

New Holland/Goose Island/Russian River/Firestone Walker/istock/Uproxx If you’re a fan of craft beer, you’re probably fairly acquainted with barrel-aged brews.

Telluride/Samuel smith's/Genesee/Pilsner Urquell/istock/Uproxx Dubbing something “underrated” really comes down to what your definition of underrated actually is. To us, it has nothing to do with a beer’s sales but entirely with its perception. That’s why both a high-selling macro brew and a little-known craft beer can both be underrated and underappreciated. When talking about underrated …

Great Divide/Goose Island/Boulevard/Stone/Deschutes/istock/Uproxx Sometimes, especially in the beer world, simplicity is perfection. A classic crisp lager without any random flavors is a thing of beauty. A bold and robust stout can warm you in the winter without veering too far into the “added spices and chocolate” direction.

Dupont/3 Fontinen/Chimay/Rodenbach/istock/Uproxx While we should definitely thank all of the various European countries that paved the way for brewing in America, today we want to specifically give Belgium its due.

Elysian/Half Acre/Pipeworks/Stone/Urban South/istock/Uproxx I’ve mentioned it in this past, but in the U.S. alone there are over 9,000 breweries. That’s an awful lot of IPAs, stouts, fruited sours, wheat beers, pilsners, and myriad other styles being brewed around the nation. Even if you don’t live in an area littered with breweries — and so many …
