    Wondering what beer you most take for granted—the beer you assume will always be there when you want it, the beer you would miss the most if it stopped being produced/distributed.

    This could be a year-round beer, a seasonal you stock up on every year, or a limited release that you've come to expect and even plan your calendar around.

    For me it's probably a toss-up between Saison Dupont and La Fin Du Monde. Rochefort 10 might be in the mix as well. Oh yeah, and Orval.

    Cheers all!

    Hair o the Dog Adam. This stuff is all over Portland and is always on tap at the brewery. But it would be a sad day not to see this stuff on the shelf. So damn good and so reasonable.

    For me, CCB Jai Alai IPA. I live in FL and it's pretty readily available and growing in market share. Also, I took Brown Shugga for granted and they took it away from me last year, sniffle.

    This is easily one of my favorite beers. I'm not saying it's anything special, but tons of good memories and it's a tasty brew. This is the perfect time of year to start buying cases for the lake!

    Cool thread.

    I've got to go with Surly Furious - taken for granted in every sense of the word...

    Finest Kind Ipa. Top Shelf IPA I can get affordable and fresh all the time yet I find myself gravitating towards more difficult to find, more expensive alternatives, or other brews I havent yet tried.

    Gumballhead, I can get it all the time, we had a shortage here for a bit and had a panic/horde reaction that I am kind of ashamed for.

    Old Rasputin, one of my favorite RIS's, on every shelf, and cheap. I haven't bought a 4-pack in some time, but I'd be really upset if it was gone one day.

    Pliny the Elder. Always on-tap or in bottles near my house, but I would be devastated if they stopped making it.

    Oberon for sure, it basically is my summer and if Bells weren't here my tear ducts would flow like the mighty Nile...in the manliest way of course.

    Double Simcoe -- my in-laws live right near the brewery. I've drank a lot of it, and like it bunches, but rarely buy it anymore. It would suck to see it gone, though.
