Otherwise I love to try local fresh stuff all the time I'm more about styles than anything.
And I love lots of styles. Big hophead love my IPA. But really love dark beers and kolschs and pale ales. Only thing i don't drink much is barleywines because of the taste and high % as well as cost
I choose beer for taste, not for marketing but really...these names...has anyone told the craft brewers they're not funny anymore? The bandwagon of silly names left the station 5 years ago. JMHO, of course!

Sure, lots aren't funny. But Other Half is a good brewery, and Mosaic is just the type of hop, so nothing to be concerned with on that name.
We have a local brewery here in the Pee Dee, called Seminar Brewing Company... I think they are really good, actually. I was surprised the first time I went, because I wasn't expecting to be as good as it was. My bro in law is a beer snob, and actually works for Upslope Brewing, and he was impressed as well.
My favorite one they make is called Citrocity.. It has a Grapefruit flavor to it, it is SOOOO good!
To someones point above, scarcity does make you believe things taste better! I love Yuengling, and part of the reason is that I moved from VA to Texas where you can't get it! When I moved to SC that's all I drank for months.
Youngs Esb
Sierra Nevada (one beer I never tire of)
Pliny The Elder (expensive)
Any Ballast Point IPA
