If you could only pick 2 beer styles ...

IPA and Imperial Stout

 

IPA and Imperial Stout

 

What if you were in a horrific accident and were left Beer-iplegic?

For me, living in a mixed weather area, I would choose RIS and IPA or APA since the style is vague enough to encompass beers I would consider IPAs.

 

I'll tweak this answer and say barrel aged and not barrel aged.

 

Yeah, well, maybe that's because you're one of these old dudes who was drinking beer in the 1960's and 1970's when we were all afraid that we'd be drinking only 2 styles forever (scarier still- the two styles were adjunct light lager and even lighter light beer).

I don't get playing these "What if', '"Pick your five favorite" or '"desert island beer" forum games - we came too close to it being a reality.

 

Yeah, I was living in California from 1973-1980 and thank goodness New Albion came along and I discovered Anchor. (I drank a lot of imports during that time but I wanted good American beers that didn't all taste the same, dammit, and that WAS scary)

 

Imperial Stouts and IPAs

Rotate repeat Winning!

 

American IPA and German lager.

Single IPA and Nitro Stout

Or

Pilsner and American Wild Ale

 

RIS and Saison

 

I'd have to go with gueuze and Zombie Dust.

Saison and bitter. Ok, if one has to be a "strong" beer than make it a strong bitter.

 

Stouts and Ales...a lot of variation and variety out there.

 

Geuze (or can I be more generic and say "Traditional Lambic"?) and American IPA.

 

Barleywine & Gueze

I did not even have to think about that at all, way to easy.

 

Ale and lager.
