Six Beers for Life

Urgh

1. What is Enlightenment
2. Abner
3. Moor Revival (as with @Hoppsbabo it's impossible to pick one cask bitter, so I'm just going for one I really enjoyed on my most recent trip to the UK)
4. Pannepot
5. Perennial Sump
6. LP Kriek

 

Lager – Brooklyn Lager
Pale Ale – Oskar Blues Dale’s Pale Ale
IPA – Stone Enjoy By
Belgian Quad – de Koningshoeven La Trappe Quadruppel
Winter Ale – Fremont B-Bomb
Old Ale – The Bruery Sucre

 

I'm having trouble paring down from the top 10 thread and can't figure what to add to the top 5 thread. Can I have two of each from the top 3 thread or half a bottle of each from the top 12 thread?

 

Sounds like the beer selection in the SLS here in UT.

Cheers!

 

While I haven't tried as many "Whales" as others list above, based on what I tried my top 6 to drink would be:

Duvel

Hennepin

BCBS (May change, I have a KBS and Parabola in the fridge that I have never tried before)

Grapefruit sculpin (also may change, taking a trip to Florida tomorrow.... Jai Alai here I come!)

SN pale ale (my preferred session beer)

Gotta keep my seasonals in there, even at the sacrifice of higher rated beers (on my list).

 

Lists are fun.

1. Surly Abrasive - my all-time favorite
2. Bell's Two Hearted - one of my first introductions into craft and something that will always hold a soft spot in my heart.
3. Founders Breakfast Stout - too good to never have again
4. Indeed Stir Crazy - best winter ale I've ever had
5. Lawson's Sip of Sunshine - possibly the best IPA I've ever had
6. Bell's Third Coast Old Ale - they can age forever and only get better with time

 

I reserve the right to change my mind (and it likely will), but here goes:

(1) SNPA
(2) Cantillon Gueuze
(3) Saison Dupont
(4) Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier
(5) Ithaca Nut Brown
(6) El Segundo White Dog


There's a reason the first four are classics. INB holds a special place in my heart and is perfectly balanced. White Dog is worth being on the list for aroma alone. Wish I could squeeze Craftsman Triple White Sage (or a quad, or Orval, or . . . ) on here, but I'm pretty happy with the list.

 

1. PseudoSue
2. BCBCS
3. Last Snow
4. Raspberry Tart
5. Yellow Rose
6. Rochefort 10

 

There are so many IPAs/DIPAs alone that I could drink for the rest of my life, but I need a little variety—both in style and hop profile.
