    Ones that are always in your fridge/cellar and if you run out, or even run low, you buy more.

    Here's my list.

    1) Deschutes Black Butte Porter
    2) Schell's Goosetown Gose
    3) North Coast Old Rasputin
    4) Hoegaarden
    5) Dark Horse Plead the 5th
    6) Odell Lugene Chocolate Milk Stout
    7) Weihenstephaner Vitus
    8) Tallgrass Buffalo Sweat
    9) Hauenstein
    10) Michelob Golden Draft Light
    11) New Belgium Abbey
    12) Shiner Bohemian Black Lager
    13) Redd's Apple Ale
    14) Michelob Amber Bock
    15) Coors (in aluminum bottles only)

    Seasonals I stock up on until the next rotation :

    Alaskan Pumpkin Porter
    Lucky Bucket Oktoberfest
    Shock Top Lemon Shandy (available year round but I only buy this in the summer for lawn mowing)


    Stuff I used to stock but don't anymore since my tastes have changed :

    Rolling Rock, Budweiser, Miller Lite, Miller High Life, Miller Genuine Draft, PBR, Busch, Bud 55, Miller 64, Killians Irish Red, Grain Belt Nordeast

    Lagunitas IPA, Guinness, Shock Top Wheat, Racer 5, Boston Lager for widely available and drinkable options

    Pliny the Elder, Heretic Evil Cousin, Hermitage Citra IPA, Strike Double IPA, Stone Enjoy By and Modern Times Fortunate Island are in my fridge at least once a month but go quickly.

    Multiples of BCBS and variants, Alesmith Speedway and Lost Abbey Track 10 are cellar beers I keep around constantly and replace as soon as I'm able.

    I've been keeping a keg of Bale Breaker Topcutter on tap for more than a year now. Still not tired of it.

    There's pretty much always something from Surly in my fridge. Seems like I've almost always got a Sierra Nevada seasonal in there as well - Celebration and Narwhal, followed by Bigfoot, then Hoptimum, etc.

    I have no true beer staples, by @The-Adjunct-Hippie's definition - I just roll with it, man, week to week, store to store, season to season... I return to dozens of beers from year to year, but there's nothing you could count on finding in my fridge.
    Heck, most beers don't last very long in my fridge :wink:

    Me too. I definitely have heavy rotation beers, light rotation beers, and 'once every few years' beers, but nothing that's always in there.

    I don't really stock any beers as I love trying new stuff.
    But it seems that AV Gose, Ten Fidy, Bells Expedition Stout, and any DFH seasonals make a regular appearance in my fridge whenever I can get my hands on some.

    The only beer that never disappears from my fridge is Clown Shoes Space Cake. Having said that there is always something from Troegs, Founders or Firestone in my fridge.

    CMiesen Aspirant (274) Apr 25, 2015 California

    Deschutes Black Butte Porter and Obsidian Stout tend to popular in winter
    Stone Enjoy By, Fall River (local brewery) Hexagenia IPA Widowmaker DIPA
    SN Bigfoot and Celebration when they come out plus Pale Ale because it is everywhere and has become session able.
    Not all in the fridge at once but little rotation and then always trying something new.
