Deep is the best in Tally for flavor imo. Proof is the best for experience/ambience and probably second best in flavor. Most of the beers by those breweries I tend to like (Oyster City is probably my overall favorite in the area but pretty distant being over in Apalachicola). Tally Brewing is a close third at the Brewfest and other beer tasting events but their tasting room isn’t open yet. Ology and Lake Tribe are hit or miss with me, with probably more missed than hits. But you can still get a tasty brew there.
Grasslands is pretty terrible imo. I’m fairly certain the guy who did our tour is their master brewer and if so he was a smoker which means dulled tastebuds. Everything at Grasslands tastes salty and musty to me, regardless of variety. I think they put a salt level worthy of a Gose in EVERY beer which smokers and other people with killed tastebuds would enjoy but not me. Several of their beers I would consider amongst the worst I’ve tasted and I usually go to the Pints for Paws home brewing event where there’s lots of amateur beers up for sample. And that sucks because Grasslands is in a great location and always is part of various beer miles, beer tasting events etc in Collegetown and I always want to skip it. But hey, “free” beer (after you’ve paid your donation for the beers you actually want) and I keep hoping they improve.
