    That pretty much describes the experience I had last year with those cans of Jai Alai.

    Cheers!

    I feel like today’s craft beer consumer just has “went-to’s”.

    Counterweight Headway IPA.

    No need to list more than one, as that represents 90% of my IPA purchasing.

    Not overall purchasing, as IPA's only represent less than 50% of my overall beer purchasing...

    I wish I had access to Fat Heads' beers, seems like I would enjoy them.

    Rare Vos
    Duvel
    Dupont Saison
    Unholy Trippel and ...
    Miller High Life

    Edit: wait, I read the instructions wrong, I thought this was a go-to IPA thread- I don't have a go-to on the other 50% of my buying, that's where I like to experiment, although I've found that lager brewers like East Rock tend to get the most of that attention. I wish Notch was closer.

    Being 120 miles from the brewery, I get Jai Alai (and its xlnt variants - Spanish Cedar, White Oak, Jai Low, Pineapple Tangerine.,) within a couple of weeks of canning, so I’ve not had a bad experience with freshness in singles, sixers or half cases.,. Always great.
    Now.,. that being said, I used to call Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA my ‘go to’.. Sometimes the trip from Delaware to SW FL made for some skunky bottles from, I guessed, warm trucking and warehousing.,.

    Cheeeers!

    An excellent beverage! I keep an eye out for anything IPA that CCB does - “Fancy Papers” is good.,. so is “Seeds of Sacrifice” and their salute to the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey team, “High Boltage”. I think I bought them out of “Space Pope” IPA last year.,. I had a “Jump Bear” hazy last week at the taproom.,.

    Cheeeeers!

    I don't have a go-to beer per se (though Allagash White is absolutely the beer I buy most), but go-to brands. I buy a ton of Allagash, Notch, Oxbow over-and-over. New beers, classics, standbys.

    I'd say my go tos are Yellow Rose IPA and Jabberwocky IPA by Lone Pint. I buy those the most. But I don't just drink those I don't like to get burnt out on beers I really like, it happens tho and I have to give them a break. I'm constantly seeking out other tasty beers. I like to have a variety. Im learning I have access to more beers than I initially thought.

    If I'm just running in & grabbing something without browsing, it's either
    Yuengling Black and Tan
    Miller High Life
    Coor's Banquet
    Penn Pilsner
    Or Michelob.
    If I'm looking for something good and "Cheap", Leffe Bruin or Späten Gold.

    Your local beer retailers still carry Michelob?

    It has been many years since I have seen Michelob.

    Cheers!

    Spaten (no umlaut) Premium, or Hacker-Pschorr Münchner Gold?

    Sorry -- it's my day to be the pedant. :wink:

    On the rare occasions when I go out to eat, it's almost always bar food or pizza. If I'm having a beer on such an occasion (not a slam-dunk by any means) it's almost always PseudoSue. The APA is one of my favorite styles, and PseudoSue is offered pretty much everywhere around here. That said, if von Trapp or KC Bier were available I might have multiple go-to beers.
