If you could only have one beer...

Anything hand delivered by Adriana Lima from Russian River.

 

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.

 

Fat Heads. And I wouldn’t look back.

 

St. Pauli Girl hand delivered.

 

Founders bring back your RIS.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

 

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.

 

I'd go with Founders for the one brewery. But if I had to choose only one beer, it would be Two Hearted.

 

Chimay White.

 

Deya, the UK’s best brewery for hoppy beers

 

That would be even better if you didn't have to listen to her political views...

 

I'd choose Victory. They have a wide range of beers and are generally high quality across the board.

 

Sierra Nevada no need for the new releases the Pale Ale every day would be fine.

 

My choice for this latest deserted island beer thread is Half Acre, just keep that fresh daisy cutter coming!.

 

I think I'll go with Firestone, particularly if this island gets Barrelworks. I think I could live on Pivo, Luponic Distortion and the occasional stout or sour.

 

This question has some very strange parameters. Regardless, the answer is Hill Farmstead, definitely Hill Farmstead, no one but Hill Farmstead, everyone who gave a different answer is wrong, it's Hill Farmstead.

 

Since SN Pale is already getting a lot of love I'll happily take the Summerfest

 

Probably Cloudwater, you'd never get the same beer twice.

 

I second this.

Assuming I'm on a desert island and I get 1 beer per day that comes in fresh, HF has enough variety of beers at a high level, to provide me with that satisfaction as a brewery.

Only 1 beer for rest of my life? Would probably have to be an AAL. Less flavor means I never get tired of it.

 

Pizza Boy

 

Only one beer from the one brewer forever or only one of each beer from the one brewer as they release them (and nothing in-between?) or only beers from one brewer for all time?

Regardless, my instinctive first response was Other Half...

(my second choice was Trillium)

 

So have to say Alchemist. Don't think I could go on if I knew I couldn't have any more Heady Topper.....

 

Since SNPA is spoken for already, I'd say Alchemist.I'll trade @NYR-Zuuuuc my Heady for his Focal.

 

Bateman's

 

THIS. This guy gets it. No surprise. +1.
