    HT is an obvious choice but not realistic. they can barely get their beers out of VT at the moment.

    Unlimited quantities on tap? There are quite a few I'd be happy to have as my house beer. It has to be low gravity-what's the point in choosing a beer so strong you can't drink pint after pint of if there's a never ending supply?
    I know I could live with this one; I used to drink several pints a night year in year out without tiring of it and I still , after 50 years of drinking it ,make a beeline for it regardless of what else is available, whenever I see it on the bar.

    I liked Michelob well enough too, do they still make it, haven't seen it around in years. The Light beer is everywhere.

    IF I had my choice, I'd go with a low-gravity, low-ish IBU, flavorful brew. Noble Pils would work, the New Albion that Sam brewed last year would work - or more so my homebrew interpretation - a bit more hops, a bit of Caramel malt for interest.
    As much as I like the big guys - Heady, Old Raspy, big Belgian Tripels and Quads, those aren't really ones that would be something that you'd drink all the time.

    Back in the day, Michelob wasn't bad.... it certainly tastes horrible now though...

    Allagash White, probably. Oxbow Farmhouse Ale would probably be a close second.

    Lagunitas Sucks if it really existed, Pliny if we could get it 500 miles from the brewery, I guess I would go with a rotating lineup of Deschutes regular and special releases. Probably something there to please every person that wants a excellent beer. (That we can actually buy in Oregon)
