    I do have my own brewery and make whatever I want. Mostly Pale Ales, BA sours, and the occasional malty beer.

    Pumpkin Peach Ale, BA Pumpkin Peach Ale, Pumpkin Peach Ale with Chocolate, Pumpkin Peach Ale with Vanilla Bean, etc.

    But seriously, I think I would do something similar to what Boulevard is doing with the Stout X series. I can never get enough stouts, so I would make one great base and then do tons of variants.

    I think I'd just imitate the Bell's line-up.

    If you owned a brewery, what handful of styles would comprise your core lineup in the tasting room? Here are mine:

    • German Pilsner
    • Standard (not hopped up) Pale Ale
    • American IPA
    • Double IPA
    • Coffee Porter
    • American Stout
    • American Strong Ale (an underrated style, IMHO.)

    Rotating Seasonals:
    • Fall: Imperial Pumpkin Ale
    • Winter: Spiced Imperial Dark Ale
    • Spring: Barleywine
    • Summer: Hefeweizen

    On the idea that you should brew what you love, I'd lean towards stronger styles and call it Big Hitter Brewing, or some such.

    American Barleywine
    DIPA
    Belgian Strong Pale Ale
    Tripel
    Quadrupel
    Old Ale
    Russian Imperial Stout

    I'd also buy a share in a taxi company, because nobody could drive home from my brewery.

    I certainly would stop in and try your American Strong Ale, a style that flies under the radar, with the exception of Stone's poster-child.
