10 Beers for 10 Years game

1. Boulevard Tank 7
2. Weihenstephaner Vitus
3. Founders All Day
4. Lagunitas Sucks
5. Singlecut Softly Spoken Magic Spells
6. Barrier Money
7. Other Half Mylar Bags
8. Weyerbacher Merry Monks
9. Founder Breakfast Stout
10. Founders KBS

 

Yeah . . . this is too easy. All you have to do is pick a couple session beers and then make the rest big or complex beers, like this:

1) Lager
2) Hefe
3) Hoppy
4) BA Imperial Stout
5) BBA barleywine
6) Something from Cantillon
7) Something from a Trappist Brewery
8) DIPA
9) Brett beer
10) Smoked beer

What if you could ONLY drink one beer all year for each of those 10 years? THAT would be a fun list. Me? I'd just alternate years between Schneider Hopfenweisse and Thornebridge Jaipur until my 10 year sentence was up. No problem getting through that.

 

A little late to the game but what the heck...

DFH 90 Minute IPA
Cigar City Jai Alai (particularly since I routinely find it less than a couple weeks old)
SNPA
SA Boston Lager
Yuengling Traditional Lager (Tap 1)
Shock Top Belgian White (Tap 2)
Budweiser
Genesee Cream Ale (beer of my youth)
Hurricane High Gravity
King Cobra Malt Liquor

 

Good luck getting a steady stream of Jaipur for 10 yeas.

 

Suarez Family Palatine Pils
Maine MO
Smuttynose Robust Porter
St. Bernardus Abt 12
Ayinger Oktoberfest
Ayinger Celebrator
Cantillon Saint Lamvinus
Fullers ESB
Andechs Weissbier Hell
Schlenkerla Helles

That should cover all the flavor categories nicely.

 

Duvel
Orval
Weihenstephaner Hefe
Anchor Porter
Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale
Firestone Walker DBA
Duchesse de Bourgogne
Samichlaus
Schlenkerla Rauchbier Marzen
Founders Imperial Stout


I figured I could live without the BBA stuff for a while, not that I don't love some of them....

 

Yeah, but figured 5-10 I would just need to buy a bunch when they are available through the year and keep in my cellar. And at least one of the hoppy brews would be available at all times.
