    What are three beers you would always have in your fridge for friends and family that visit. These are beers that you wouldn't necessarily drink on a daily basis (or maybe do), but are good for getting others to enjoy craft beer and avoid having to keep the adjuncts on hand. My girlfriend and I were discussing this the other day. We narrowed it down to:

    1. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (or a Southern Tier Pale Ale to keep it local)
    2. Yuengling Lager (or Victory Lager-just harder to come across)
    3. Breckenridge Vanilla Porter

    New everyday beer to my rotation is Founders All Day IPA.

    A good ol' Samuel Adams is a nice stepping stone from BMC to good craft beer.
    Always in my fridge too is Bell's Two-hearted ale

    Budweiser... for 100 different reasons
    Two Hearted... Because my friends love it as much as I do
    SNPA... Because it's cheap and delicious.

    The beer that is in my fridge is beer that I will drink. Most who do not enjoy what I have either don't drink or will have a cocktail, booze can be easier.

    I tend to have one of three beers at any given point, they seem to be fairly approachable.
    1.Two Hearted
    2. Oarsman
    3. Best Brown or Arcadia Nut Brown

    The answer is anything in the Top 100. No one can turn down a Top 100 ranked beer!
