Personal Dream Tap House...

And if those aren't distributed enough:

Lager: Budweiser

 

Lager: Ayinger Jarhrhundert Celebration Lager
Pale Ale or Amber: Nugget Nectar
IPA: Headhunter
DIPA: Heady
Porter: Funky Buddha Maple Bacon Coffee
Belgium,Sour, Saison or Farmhouse (ONE only): Consecration
Stout: Speedway Stout
Barely Wine, Scotch, Old or Strong Ale (ONE only): Oaked Arrogant Bastard
Seasonal: Sierra Nevada Celebration
Specialty: Cigar City Humidor Jai Alai

I don't like that Sour and "Belgium" are the same category.

 

Other than Heady, there isn't a single style on BA whose top beer I agree with. Additionally, because the concept of the thread is taps you'd have in your house to drink daily, there are a lot of top beers that, in my opinion, aren't very drinkable daily. I think the Abyss and BCBS are probably my favorite stouts, but if I could only take one stout, I'd rather have Fidy, Speedway, or even Stone over them as beers I'd be drinking day in and day out.

 

Lager: Hoponius Union, Jack's Abby
Pale Ale or Amber: Zombie Dust, Three Floyds
IPA: Julius, Tree House Brewing
DIPA: Ephraim, Hill Farmstead

As ridiculous and common as these threads are, they are, for some strange reason, still fun! Also, quick aside, as a lover and advocate for all things involving lager yeast, please don't insult the WIDE world of lagers by assuming there is only one type (Doppelbocks and Czech Pils are vastly different brews). Just sayin'.
