Six Beers for Life

Can we make an official "beers for the rest of your life" thread, so that certain people who have been BA members for 14 years and who KNOW this is the most repeated topic (and almost ever new member who doesn't know) don't keep creating it?

I mean, a veteran BA should know better...

Bell's Two Hearted
Sierra Nevada Nooner Pilsner
North Coast Old Rasputin
Surly Bender (of Coffee Bender... can't bring myself to choose)
Schell's Schmalt's Alt
Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Urbock

1. FFF Alpha King
2. Stone Chai IRS
3. Stone Oaked Arrogant Bastard
4. FFF Rabbid Rabbit
5. Chimay Blue
6. Founders Breakfast Stout

I feel like I'd regret having Alpha King as my only pale, but damnit, I can't budge anything else!

 

Fort Point Pale Ale, Weihenstephaner Hefe, Cerise Cassée, Total Disorder Porter from The RAM in Indianapolis circa 2013, Either Moon Man or Sucks (ya know, for a session beer!), and I guess a stout.... how bout Vanilla Noir.

And a lot of water.

SNPA
Any one of the malty beers from Diamond Bear
Coop Native Amber

Rogue Shakespeare Stout or Lazy Boy Stout (Vino's)
Any Good Hefeweizen

It's hard to say. There are so many good beers out there. I just took a stab. They may not be the absolute best beers I ever had, but at least they cover the spectrum of styles I like and the beers and breweries that are closest to my heart for various reasons.

Wow. no IPA's or high gravity brews. Imagine that.
