5 Before / 5 After

Safely can say for sure I'll be drinking SNPA in five years. Beyond that, who knows.

 

At least half for me palates change and new hops are created. 2Heated Tank 7, Odells IPA, been drinking these as example for many years and will most likely continue , they are great shelf beers and easy to get.

 

No option for " I can't see the future, so how the hell am I supposed to know?"?

 

After thoroughly contacting breweries as to the likelihood they'll be continuing to produce the beers I've had in the last 5 years, apparently it will be 72.5%

 

Funny, my market research returned a 71.45788845% possibility.

 

I've always been a sucker for stouts.

 

Lateral thinking would define you as a stout sucker. And that is meant purely as some levity among some overly serious commenters on here. Cheers!!

 

I voted for 'most' and can narrow that range down to the last 2 years when I was exposed to Tree House, Trillium, Hill Farmstead, Alchemist, etc. I hope to continue drinking all of them.

 

About 70% of the stuff I drink are beers that I "try" because I haven't had them and/or are new and the remaining 30% are returning annual bottle releases and good year round/seasonal beers I care to revisit. Generally stouts, sours, ipas. Cheers!

 

As long as they keep making them I'll keep drinking most of the beers I've had in the last 5.

 

Expedition Stout. I'm saving a few.

 

I ran thru my list and found a dozen or so I would make a point of seeking out year after year but there will be so many new ones in the next five years ...

 

I know I will still be drinking SNPA, Westmalle, Weihenstephaner, Old Rasputin and Hennepin provided they don't change for the worse and are still around.

 

I'll definatly still be drinking my German Hefe's 5 years from now. Weihenstephaner, paulaner, & franziskaner. Also founders breakfast stout in the cold months. Other than that, there's no telling.

 

I chose 'Not many of them' because I travel on pub crawls a lot, so many of the beers that I've had will not be had again because I won't be visiting most of those breweries again (although I'd like to re-visit some of them). I also tend to drink the new stuff that shows up on tap as one-offs at my local breweries, so I won't see them again either.

 

As long as Belgians make dubbels and Germans make doppels I'm fixed.

 

Half of what I buy is new to me and the other half of what I buy is based on past good experiences. If half of the new stuff I buy results in good experiences, and my pool of potential repurchases continues to grow based on current good experiences, therefore, decreasing the possibility that I would buy a particular beer again because of the increasing pool, and my current rate of consumption in ounces is increasing based on trends, however I am buying more bombers reducing the variation within my 50% of new weekly purchases, it should trend from 55% to 60% over the next 3 years.

 

A ton of German beers of all styles and brands that I can't ever see myself getting tired of. Chimay Grande Reserve, Two Hearted, Summit Saga, Bell's porter, beers from SN like Oktoberfest, Tumbler, Vienna Lager, Flipside, and Celebration. Hop Stoopid, FBS, BOMB!, and last but not least, Pilsner Urquell.
