    The beer gods have decided that you are worthy of receiving a mixed six-pack of your choice, once a week, for the rest of your life. It will be delivered magically to your doorstep at no charge. The beers may come from any location on the planet. Unfortunately, the selection is permanent and it's the only beer you are allowed to drink. Which bottles and cans will appear in your weekly six-pack? You will most likely want to select beers with year-round availability, because it’s impossible to convert seasonals into year-round beers. There are only two rules:
    1. Each container may be no larger than 500 ml.
    2. You may not include more than one beer of any single style.

    My six-pack includes:
    Founders Backwoods Bastard
    Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
    Jackie O’s Dark Apparition
    Mönchshof Schwarzbier
    Great Lakes Eliot Ness
    VanderGhinste Roodbruin

    Only one six pack for the whole week :astonished::scream:? In that case I feel almost forced to choose beers available in 16oz containers exclusively... Which along with the "no seasonals" thing makes this a rather hard exercise, especially where Stouts are concerned.

    Bells BA expo
    Columbus insane wanderer
    Jw Lee's harvest
    Sixpoint alpenflo
    Fremont rusty nail
    Fatheads hop juju

    Am I cheating including a bomber? If so, sub Rusty Nail for Prairie BB Paradise. Thanks, and I'll opt for the annuity payout vs the lump sum.

    Knee jerk reaction:

    Saison Dupont
    Schlenkerla Marzen
    Ganstaller Zoigl
    Muhlen Kolsch
    JW Lees Harvest
    Harveys Sussex Best Bitter

    I could live with it being a 5 pack normally and only getting the Lees Harvest once a year due to its release schedule.
