    I am just getting into the craft beer scene. I used to drink the piss beer and dove straight to the stouts and been in love with craft beer ever since. I have been doing mix 6 packs to get my feel for what is out there. So my question is what would be in your mix 6?

    i would be general about it and break it down by brewery.

    this is what im thinking...

    Founders
    Bells
    Lagunitas
    Stone
    Troegs
    and something local to where you live...

    those are a few breweries you can try, you cant go too wrong with them.

    If a store lets you mix 6-packs, as most do, it probably just lets you buy individual bottles in any quantity; at least that's my experience. So is the "dream mix 6-pack" an arbitrary limit imposed on this thread? Unless I'm misunderstanding something, this just seems like you're asking "what are your six favorite beers?"

    Anyway, my answer would be something like:
    Pliny the Elder
    Saison Dupont
    Parabola
    Westmalle Tripel
    Orval
    RR Temptation

    I am just curious to see what someone's mix 6 might be whether it's specific beers or breweries. I guess if you want me to be more specific, What would be your mix 6 for imperial stouts?

    Off the top of my head and in no particular order, I'd go with:
    Parabola
    KBS
    Beer Geek Brunch Weasel
    Older Viscosity
    Berserker
    Péché Mortel
    The Abyss
    Speedway Stout
    Founders Imperial Stout

    Because at my dream store, it's "buy two, get one free" :wink:

    Insanely Fresh IPA's (a strategic impossibility) of:

    Hopslam (Bell's)
    Hoodoo Midwest Fresh Hopped (North Peak)
    Sucks (Lagunitas)
    Tricerahops (Ninkasi)
    All Day IPA (Founders)
    Odell IPA

    In no order, of course.
    The last two, lower-ish ABV sessionables.
    Left a million off!
