    I want to say Alchemist so badly, or maybe Hill Farmstead, I love Heady love Abner. But with only one beer palate burnout is guarenteed. So I'd opt for Old Mecklenburg Capt Jack Pils, you could drink this forever and never look back.

    Toppling Goliath. I would be satisfied with a pint of Pseudo Sue every day. Truthfully, I haven't even tried their other brews.
    Lord Hobo would be a good choice for me. I love Glorious, especially when it is very fresh. I probably love Boom Sauce even more, and really enjoyed Consolation Prize too. Just love all the ripe stone fruits and lush flavors in those three. Their malts are very nicely balanced with all the lush fruit aromas and flavors. So, for just one beer it's Pseudo Sue, just one brewery, Lord Hobo.

    Allagash, I am looking forward to trying more of their Wild Ales and some Lambics too.
    Black is about the only blackend ale that is routinely available.
    Question, how am I going to sell the beer I get if I am alone on an island?

    Actually, your "AB-InBev, because their release rate means I get more beer" notion is definitely more well thought out than most answers will be.

    I'd have to go with Schell's. Nordeast for regular consumption, their variety pack releases for some, well, variety, & the sour releases out of their Noble Star line, every 4 months or so, for something special.

    Cheers!

    Earlier, I selected Prairie Pirate Bomb if I had to select one beer. If it were one brewery, it would be Central Waters, mostly for their endless line of BA beers of varying styles.

    The climate of the island is not given so like others I assume tropical. The one beer I can drink day after day is Hamm’s. Even though craft is far superior I rarely drink the same craft the next day. My answer...Hamm’s. From the land of sky blue waters.

    Based on places I've been Sante Adairius Rustic Ales.

    Based on every place, probably somewhere different.

    Allagash. No question about it. I can't think of a brewery that comes close here in the US.

    Do I get access to their entire lineup easily? Then yea Samuel Adams or Sierra Nevada because of the sheer amount of different beers they produce.

    If it's just one beer for the rest of my life then I'll go with Bell's Oberon

    Trilliium is the easy answer for me. Frequent releases, high quality, and very diverse style-wise

    Orval, but since they make only one beer for general release I want a fresh case from every batch, some for drinking, some for aging.

    Depending on its bottle age, Orval is really several different beers and so it should be OK to stretch the rules just a wee bit.
