I’ve only tried 2 of their beers from there so I’m going off thatYou're the first person I've ever heard say that. Pretty terrible overall and can't believe they are still in business.

Confluence, Firetrucker, Peacetree, and Exile have zero to worry about.
I wonder about Fox, Madhouse, Brightside.
I dont get why anyone would go to Fox when The Hall is next door.
Brightside has nothing to be concerned about. It has no competition on the eastern side of the county other that Reclaimed Rails. I may be biased because I live in Altoona and regularly go to Brightside, but it is always packed on the weekends and makes fantastic beer. They also know exactly what they are, they don't seem to want to compete with the big guys. They are very similar in my opinion to 515.
I don't know how Reclaimed Rails is still around. Their beer has gone down hill quite a bit (again my opinion). They have a fantastic space and that is why they are still around.
There was a Raccoon River connection to Reclaimed Rails too I believe.Reclaimed Rails was the one I had such high hopes. Their building is very cool and I had heard for so long how great brewer the owner was. Not sure what happened. I do like their Rook's Breakfast Porter.
Brightside has had a few porters/stouts that I've enjoyed. Perk Up and I scream stout.

While nothing ever blew me away at Raccoon, they were ahead of their time.

I didn't know making new NEIPA's every week was a form of creativity...mostly kidding. I know what you're trying to say, but I've just never grown to enjoy their beers.I always root for the new guy on the block but it’s hard to get me away from Barntown; I love their creativity.
Madhouse is fine. They've found their niche - their barrel aged stuff and sours are extremely well thought of (and are extremely well done). Ditching their old brands was a great move.
Madhouse has found their niche. Their V.I.P., Carpe Diem and Freedom Toast are all quite tasty. I'm not a sour fan, but my wife says those are definitely worth drinking.

Madhouse just recently said they’re getting back in the hazy game with upcoming releases of AM Haze and Mic Drop IPA.

I've tried them. I'll go back to sleep. I'm just not a fan of their beers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Don't sleep on their sours and stouts.
