What would your "house beer" be?

For a standard keg on tap (one I can drink plenty of and I know most others are capable of enjoying), I'd probably go with Samuel Smiths Organically Produced Lager. A greate authentic European styled lager that is an easy drinker for the risk taking Bud Light guests, "organic" in the title for my granola visitors, yet well known as a good beer in our BA craft crowd as well.


Now if I could keep for myself and any of my crafty friends, a continuous mini-keg setup of Hill Farmstead Pale Ales (Edward or Nelson Sauvin were both excellent), Founders Breakfast Stout, choice of Heady/Pliny/Hopslam, 2 Hearted, and perhaps a great Tripel (Westmalle or La Fin Du Monde) then I'd be in complete Beer Nirvana and have all bases covered pretty well.

 

I don't think I've found mine yet! My favorites are just too far off the beaten path for me to get into the idea of having a large stock of something "the masses" would enjoy. I think earlier, someone sheepishly mentioned SN Pale Ale. That might have to be my interim house beer, actually. But I'd like to find one that entices me more. Thanks! I'm on a new beer mission! Always looking for an excuse!

 

Ooh, I think I might change my answer to Duvel. There is something there for everyone, to be certain. But that would mean spending a lot of money on getting my guests pretty drunk.

 

Absolutely this. I would never leave the house and probably die within a day from alcohol poisoning, but damnit, it would be a great way to go out.

 

Indeed Burr Grinder

 

Centennial IPA

 

Maui Lemongrass Saison...refreshing...perfect year round in Hawaii.

 

Cigar City Cafe Con Leche , praying one day they might put this out for distro. Right now it is usually tap room only and no growlers

 

Sierra Nevada Estate

 

Lagunitas New Dogtown Pale.

Stone Escondidian Imperial Black IPA for the alternate. At 10% this is not and all day drinking beer but I would drink some everyday.

 

For an all year around, swiss army knife, kind of a beer I would have to go with Green Flash Hop Head Red. It kind of hits that sweet spot for me and I could drink it every day. For my alternate Founder's Red's Rye or Bells Pale.

 

great question and a tough one. I was going to say BCBS since that is my fav beer but it does not go with every food possible. I would pick between a saison, wheat beer and a pale. So Tank 7, New Glarus Dancing Man wheat , or Boulevard Pale Ale

 

Easy, Fantome's regular Saison.

 

I'm presuming you're thinking about a home kegorator? with multi taps, presuming that most will be rotating.
I would choose the Sam Adams reissue of the New Albion, or a similar pale ale. Something that is refreshing, can drink quite a bit of, but won't put you on the floor.
I would consider Jack's Abby Jabby Brau, Maybe London Pride, Mystic;s Table Beer,

 

3 Floyds Apocalypse Cow

I enjoy it and for all of the IPAs that I have offered my friends this is the one that for some reason they all enjoy. If it was just for myself I might go with Zombie Dust in the warmer months and Dark Horse Tres Blueberry Stout in the cooler/cold months.

 

Dude. I'm seriously jealous. I'd love to hear your thoughts. If you ever wish to trade West to East, let me know...
