What is your "Go To" Beer?

Two Hearted, Anchor Steam, SN Pale, Eliot Ness. Seasonal Sam Adams Noble Pils.

 

Winter & Spring: Sucks & Ten-Fidy
Summer & Fall: Trumer Pils

 

Drake's 1500. When fresh, it's juicy and hoppy at a tame 5.5%. Good body for the style. Refreshing lawnmower beer, and a good one to throw back after work too. Definitely my go-to.

 

Two Hearted is great all the time. Also Two Brothers Sidekick or Dales Pale

 

The affordable/cheap:
My homebrew
Kirkland variety pack
Deschutes Red Chair
Anything local

Upscale:
Duvel
Chimay blue label
St. Bernardus abt 12
90 minute IPA
Tank 7
Hennepin

 

It's Flower Power for me as well. Perfect beer.

 

I typically have Sierra Nevada Torpedo or a Sierra Nevada seasonal in the fridge. For awhile there, I couldn't get enough of good old fashioned Anchor Steam. I also usually have something from Flying Dog in the rotation since they're an affordable and quality local brewery for me.

 

Odell IPA for hoppy, Odell Cutthroat Porter for malty. And when Odell Loose Leaf becomes available in six packs (i.e. next month) we can throw that one into the mix as well.

 

Saga
Ethos

 

Premium and affordable: Jai Alai

 

Bell's Two Hearted and Schlafly's TIPA or AIPA when in-season.

 

Schlafly's Export IPA is at least worth trying IMO if you like hoppy beers, just expect a piney and earthy beer instead of super bright/fruity like the others.

 

Now that it's year round, Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA
Boulevard 80-Acre Hoppy Wheat or Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale.
And since they are so readily available, Goose Island, Sierra Nevada, Lagunitas, Founders, & New Belgium Beers.
This list could go on forever, which would mean I really don't have a go to beer. So, I guess, my go to beer would be the ones that are in my beer fridge when I go to it.

 

Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA
Bell's Two Hearted
Lagunitas Sucks
Two Brothers Cane and Ebel

 

Well this is pretty damn accurate... Cannot wait for Loose Leaf! I only get Porter in the fall/ winter though.

 

Cheap- Summit Saga and Great Northern, Torpedo and Celebration
Mid- Centennial, Two Hearted, Sucks, Left Hand MS
High end- Hopslam, Ten Fidy, Abrasive, FBS

 

SN Torpedo and High Altitudes. I'll buy Hoptimum for 3 months as I like the bitter-sweet resiny mess it turns into. The other two year-round.
Most of Schlafly's line-up
Founders Red's Rye when on draft. I pick up Dirty Bastard and All Day or Centennial Cans about once a month, and am a fan of most seasonals (less Rubaeous) and limiteds.
Bells Two Hearted and many limiteds/seasonals. Dopplebock, Old Ale, and my last 6 of Hopslam in the fridge right now
Firestone Walker Union and Double Jack

Unfortunately I don't have (or know of) a year-round/go-to strong/barleywine, and in a couple months I'll have to start drinking them more sparingly until Winter Thankfully there's always Arrogant Bastard, but it has a different profile than my favorites. Bigger fan of OG than Double Bastard.

 

When all else fails ... GUINNESS

 

Karbach Weisse Versa
Firestone Walker Pivo Pils
Prairie Artisan Ale and Standard

When I am out at the bar
Live Oak Hefe
512 Pecan Porter
Saint Arnold Ellissa (cask)

 

Ballast Point Sculpin is my favorite go to. Looking forward to trying Stone Go To IPA, But until then Ballast Point is my choice.
