    This may have been done before? Honestly too lazy to search.
    Question is...if you could only have beer from one brewery who would it be?
    The stipulations are it’s for you only. (Can’t sell etc.)
    Imagine being on a island by yourself and every time this brewery in the real world releases something you get 1 of those to yourself in whatever format it is. No Kegs! Haha. So for example I’m gonna say treehouse. I get 1 can of everything they do every time they do it. I know bud and such drop it everyday. Looking for more well thought answers.

    No well thoughts answers needed. If I was living on a lonely island by myself I’d drink Alesmith IPA all day long.

    If I was living in Antartica then send me some (warmer) Stouts from Founders. I’m a simple man.

    Wow, that's really a tough one. Ask me again next week and my answer will probably be totally different. Right now I'm drinking a Cigar City Jai-Alai IPA which is sublime but since I haven't any of their other brews, I'll go with Founders for now. Solid brews and great diversity of brews.

    If I was stuck on a desert island, I'd go with Bud Light. With the quantities they produce and the fact that it's essentially water, means I may live long enough to visit a proper brewery.

    Isabelle Proximus all day every day and I would be more than happy. But for one brewery and what they release ongoingly, it would not be Lost Abbey, but Hill Farmstead.

    I've never had any Tree House or HF, and I'm not sure how frequently Trillium releases their cans so It's Russian River for me. Pliny is bottled (I think) quite frequently, and I'm still getting my Supplication, Consecration and Sanctification once in a while. STS is honestly a decent pilsner too.

    The smart answer, though, would probably be Sierra Nevada or Lagunitas. Both make fairly competent beer in a variety of styles, and in decent quantities.

    I haven't had all that "special" beer listed above, except some of SN & Founders, so I'll go with Ommegang. Their original 4 is what got me to actually like beer, & those still taste wonderful now, 21 years later. I'd trust them to deliver a positive experience on the island. :wink:

    Jacks Abby, only because I’m on an island that I assume is tropical and they’ll keep me in tasty lagers year round.

    Yes, this has been asked several times. But still I'll play...for me it would be Prairie Pirate Bomb, aged at least 6 months to mute the coffee, revealing the rum. Some BBA beers are runners-up.

    I may be off the reservation here, but I think I'd go with Sixpoint or Boulevard.

    If I had Natalie Portman bringing me pitchers of Firestone Walker I would be the happiest man who has ever lived.

    Other Half, it's pretty much all I drink as is, as per which one.... space diamonds right now, though after this weekend it will be double mosaic daydream!

    Probably oddside ales. They make good ipas and have a great diversity of beer in their portfolio. I'm not a fan of every style, but I think a little variety would save my sanity on a deserted island.

    I already liked them, but after my taproom visit the other day my love is reinforced. (They had shirts as cheap as 10 dollars, pretty down to earth prices. Got a crowler of hazels nuts for around 12 bucks, not bad for a pretty rare beer)

    my gut is to say Urban Chestnuts Stammtisch cause I can drink those things one after the other, but being stranded on an island would suck so just load me up with some Olde English or some other cheap garbage and I'll live off the land as drunk as possible

    Sam Adams. Over the course of time the have covered more ground than any new beer boys ever will. I have a shot at every beer style that exists. No one else can offer that in a dessert island sceanario.
