    Suppose you start a bar or a dream basement or (insert what ever crazy hypothetical here)

    You have these styles to fill, only rule is you cant use the same brewery twice...

    Also Seasonal's/Specialty's can only be picked for the last two...

    Of coarse you may pass a style, but you lose it... 10 handle system only. (If you dont use that style, you lose the spot)

    Not trying to bust your chops, but you must be an American "craft beer" enthusiast.
    Lager gets one handle, IPA gets two, porters/stouts get two. :slight_smile:

    (I'll still play if I get a chance)

    Heh, I thought it was funny that the #1 spot just said "Lager" as well.

    I'm going to redo this thread, but start with "Ale" as the first option, and then list a bunch of lager styles.

    I would want at least half of the taps to be filled with homebrew.
    Probably the pale, IPA, stout, Belgian/sour, seasonal and specialty.
    Of the others, Lager would be something from Jack's Abby, Weihenstephaner or Schneider & Sohns.
    DIPA- Would love Heady,
    porter would be either Mayflower or Cape Cod Beer,
    BW/scotch/ etc - unknown at this time.

    This is only from my experience, so unfortunately most east coast beers are untappable. I could say HT of HF based on reputation, but since I have never had their beer I don't think that would be fair. Also, ideally I would have probably 3 taps dedicated to Lagers, but thats not how the game was set up.

    Lager: Pilsner Urquell

    Pale/Amber: Handtruck, Barley Browns

    IPA: Blind Pig, Russian River

    DIPA: Hop Venom, Boneyard

    Porter: Mogli, Caldera

    Farmhouse/Belgian style: 7, Upright

    Stout: Speedway Stout, Alesmith

    Strong Ale: Adam, Hair of the Dog

    Seasonal: Fresh Hop Myrtle, Commons

    Specialty: Altbier, Occidental

    I'll try this with just widely available, year round beers (no Pliny, Heady, HF, FFF, etc.)

    Lager: Eliot Ness
    Pale Ale or Amber: MO
    IPA: Hop Rod Rye
    DIPA: Enjoy By
    Porter: Smutty Robust Porter
    Belgium,Sour, Saison or Farmhouse (ONE only): Cuvee des Jacobins Rouge
    Stout: BORIS
    Barely Wine, Scotch, Old or Strong Ale (ONE only): Old Chub
    Seasonal: Ten FIDY
    Specialty: Backwoods Bastard

    Porter: Anchor Porter
    Stout: Yeti
    Specialty: Creme Brulee
