The "Perfect" Six Pack

IPA - Stone IPA
DIPA - FW Double Jack
Dubbel - Ommegang Abbey Ale
Hefe - Weihenstephaner
Imp Stout - North Coast Old Rasputin
Pilsner - Victory Prima Pils

Perfect? Maybe not. But it's pretty close.

 

reading is fundamental

 

Porter - Anchor Porter
Hefeweizen - Weihenstaphener
Pilsner - Konig
Pale Ale - Southern Tier Live
Belgian Strong Dark Ale - Unibroue Maudite
Stout - Old Rasputin

 

Cuvee des jacobins
Jai alai
Centennial
Jose marti
FBS
Old rasputin

 

The only "sure things" for me in such a six pack would be Brew Kettle White Rajah as my IPA and Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald as my porter. I would also consider Zombie Dust as my pale ale, although I continue to struggle in classifying that as a pale ale rather than an IPA. Plus, it is only available occasionally in bottles around here.

 

Ten FIDY
Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout
Black Butte Porter
Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar
Odell's Myrcenary
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

 

Weihenstephaner Hef.
Unibrowe La Fin Du Monde
DFH 90min DIPA
2 Hearted Ale
Old Raspy
Sam Smith Oatmeal Stout

 

BA Stout (added the category) - BCBS
Stout - Founder's Imperial Stout
Barley wine - Bigfoot
Porter - founder's
IPA - torpedo
Dipa - sucks
Pilsner - pivo pils
Lager - Boston lager
APA - Sierra Nevada

Apparently I like founders for the dark beers and Sierra Nevada for their classic examples of the style.

 

You've done it. The perfect 6 pack.

 

Reasonably available people...stay with him

 

6x Dave.

 

1. Goose Island Bourbon County
2. Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter (wish this was available in RI)
3. Weihenstephaner Heffeweissbier
4. New England Brewing Co. Gandhi Bot
5. Jacks Abby Mass Rising
6. And since I'd rather have a DIPA instead of an APA, Firestone Walker Double Jack (fresh of course, not the 2-3 month old shit that us New Englanders are subjected to.

 

Lmao so I go to the store to build said Sixer and cannot find most of the beers substition time

 

Lol. Do they make holders for 9 packs?

 

Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shut-Down
Bell's Two Hearted
Founders Breakfast Stout
New Glarus Dancing Man Wheat
Unibroue La Fin du Monde
Three Floyds Gumballhead

These are my go-to beers depending on the season, but most of them are always available.

 

Two Hearted/Sculpin
La Fin Du Monde
Founders Porter
Weihenstephaner Hefe
BCBS
Ommegang Abbey

 

I'll bite... this is HEAVILY Michigan biased - but that's just how I drink... I could also make this list strictly from Founders

IPA - Bell's Two-Hearted (honorable mentions to Racer 5 & Founder's Centennial)
Trippel - La Fin Du Monde
DIPA - Double Trouble (honorable mention goes to Lagunitas Sucks!)
Stout (oatmeal) - New Holland's "The Poet"
Porter - Founders Porter (GL Edmund Fitzgerald gets the honorable mention)
Stout (Imperial) - Founders Imperial Stout

If I had that sixer always in my fridge, I think I could be happy year 'round... but I'd be even happier if I could include a few of the below list of other honorable mentions...

"Wheat" beer - Lagunitas Lil' Sumpin' Sumpin' (call it the modern "classic" west coast american wheat)
Saison - GI Sofie (a little bit of a style-buster and maybe not a "classic example")
Berliner Weisse - Bell's Oarsman (not a traditional Berliner, but delicious!)
Belgian Strong - Jolly Pumpkin Oro De Calabaza (just started 375ml bottles)
Stout - Murphy's (I've only seen in 16oz cans)

 

Good question, I need to have my local bottle shop put this together and have it waiting for me each week!

Wit - Westbrook White Thai
Pale Wheat - Bells Oberon
IPA - Cigar City Jai Alai
Brown - Good People Brown
Coffee Stout - Southern Star Buried Hatchet
Imp Stout - Oskar Blues Ten Fidy

 

Readily Available Perfectish Sixer:

1. Sculpin
2. Ten Fidy
3. First Sparrow (just had today...this...is...in love)
4. Aventinus (if it fits in a six pack, it counts)
5. Mexican Coke (not being funny, I want one in there)
6. Resin

 

De Struise - Pannepot
Caracole - Saxo
Anchor - Foghorn (a lot of contenders here, this is but one)
Tallgrass - Ethos (or fresh Torpedo)
Ayinger - Celebrator
Brouwerij Verhaeghe - Duchesse

I could re-think this all day but I don't think it'd be that much improved. This is it right here. Missing a stout but there isn't room.
