Beer you buy regularly?

As far as brewery support, Tree House is my new favorite brewery and I try to go up there as much as I can. As far as beer I buy that I buy regularly I'd say it depends on the season.

I buy Founders Breakfast Stout frequently in the winter months. Weihenstephaner Hefe in the summer and that's basically it.

Basically for me I buy what appeals to me in the beer shop.

 

I would think bottles would be more expensive also. But, the 6 pack is $7.49 and the 4 pack is $7.99. I guess its going to be because of the popularity.

 

Ahhh, I see. My consistent purchases of and love for all things Long Trail has a lot to do with the fact that A.) They exposed me to more styles of beer in my early craft days and B.) I have had a lot of excellent memories visiting their brewery with my wife, dating back to when she was my girlfriend. I have a soft spot for all that they do and offer. Plus their Long Trail Ale is a solid brew that, in my experience, even the BMC crowd will dig.

 

As far as things I have year-round access to and always keep in my inventory:

Arrogant Bastard
Midnight Sun Monk's Mistress
Green Flash Double Stout
Avery Hog Heaven
Old Rasputin

 

SN Pale Ale
SN Torpedo
GL Edmund Fitzgerald
GL Burning River
GL Dortmunder Gold

I buy lots of others, but I've always got two or three of the above on hand.

My buying patterns changed when I got a two-tap kegerator in my kitchen. I keep that stocked with kegs of local craft brew (Southern Prohibition and Crooked Letter) to enjoy regularly and proselytize to friends here. Outside of that, regular buys right now are Bells Two-Hearted and three from North Coast: Old Rasputin, Brother Thelonius, and Pranqster.

 

Sweetwater IPA
Sweetwater Lowryeder
Ballast Point Sculpin
Stone IPA

 

I have so many, probably more regular rotations then special releases.... Never really understood the appeal of spending so much time trying to track down beer that will probably end up being about the same as a beer you can buy seven days a week. With that said the ones I buy the most and in the biggest quantities are...


New Glarus Moon Man - buy by the case, when that case runs out go buy another one
Summit Saga - always have a 12 around
Bells Two Hearted - buy a couple 6ers or so a month
Lagunitas - always have a couple different of there selections on hand
New Glarus - Seasonal and Thumbprints always get a 6 or 4 of each one
New Belgium Ranger - Love having a 12 of cans
Ale Asylum Ballistic or Bedlam - whichever one is in season is in my fridge
Central Waters Barrel beers - buy a case of each of them, have them throughout the year

[Wife's Comment]: Overall he buys way to much beer... but I still love him.

 

GL Dortmunder Gold. Love a clean, crisp, tasty lager often after work and this hits the spot perfectly. However, I'd have a fridge full of Jack's Abby if I could have regular access to their brews. Best lagers I have ever tried.

 

With Bootleggers only charging $12-15 a growler for most of their offerings at the taproom, I've been kicking myself for not getting a growler sooner than I did. I'm stopping in to refill about once a week now.

I also routinely pick up Samuel Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout and Firestone Walker Wookey Jack. They're just damn good beers.

 

Southern Tier IPA
Flower Power IPA
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Ellicottville Blueberry Wheat (for the girlie!)

 

I always have at least a 4 pack of Boat Beer from Carton Brewing in my fridge at all times. As local as it's going to get for me being less than 2 miles from my house.

 

So that is what happens if you forget to hit enter and the wife uses the computer next I guess....

 

Boulevard 80 Acre
FFF Gumbalhead if I didn't have to road trip to get it
Deschutes variety packs
Samuel Adams variety packs
New Glarus variety packs

 

New England Brewing
Founder's
Smuttynose

Lately,lots of Otter Creek Kind Ryed I.P.A.

Cheers All.......

 

I just bought a case of Bell's Two Hearted, so I guess that is my regular beer for now. I like to try new IPA's and switch it up with BC Stout.

 

Smuttynose (mostly Finest Kind but mix in the sampler packs)
SN Torpedo and seasonals
Founders - all of it!

 

If anything, probably SNPA, Anti-Hero IPA and Two Hearted. I always feel like I need IPA in my fridge and these are my go to. Every other style I don't really have a go to and try for variety (including IIPA).

 

Two Hearted Ale
Crooked Tree IPA
Alpha King
SN Porter
FBS (I can find it almost year-round in my area)
New Belgium and Sam Adams products at most bars/restaurants.

 

I always got bottles of some Odell stuff in my fridge....IPA, Myrcenary, Cutthroat Porter, Seasonal (Red, St. Lupulin, Isolation), Levity Amber.
