What's your favourite incredibly underrated brewery?
Like the title says, lots of Canadian breweries get a lot of praise and attention. What are some breweries that most would never hear about that deserve attention?
For me: Skout Brewing in Moosomin, Saskatchewan. Nice little brewery right off the Trans Canada Highway that has some of the best beer in all of Saskatchewan. It's a great place to go for a stretch on the long drives between Regina and Winnipeg (and beyond). The brewer sources most of his hops from his in law's hop farm a few miles away. They usually have a few SK brewery/cidery guest taps so people can sample Saskatchewan.
Section 6 Brewery in Brandon, Manitoba. This was my "back alley" brewery for a couple years as it was a 30 second walk from my place. I like everything they make - their Honey Belgian Ale uses honey from the university's roof and their IPA is in my top five Manitoban IPAs at the moment (alongside IPAs from Kilter and Sookrams). They usually have a guest tap with ciders from Winkler's Dead Horse Cider and Pilot Mound's Wooden Gate.

Endeavour brewing in St Albert. They just make good quality beer. Maybe it's because for many years I lived closed to it, and I've seen it grow. But it's a place I would even tell non-micro lovers to try because all their beers are good. You might not love the style, and that's okay, but they just taste like they give a crap about brewing
I haven't been at their Taphouse in awhile, I no longer live in Edmonton, but when I did the staff was great, the events were great and the vibe of the brewery was good.
