    I pretty much always have some kind of Pretty Things brew of middling-to-high ABV and something by Notch at around 4%+/- ABV.

    There are lots of beers I drink regularly (and lots I drink occasionally, and some I drink once and say Yick), but those two breweries are constants.

    There really isn't any individual beer that I "always" have on hand.

    But there are beers from specific breweries.

    I've always had something from Stone on hand for many years.
    In recent years, I always have something from the The Bruery

    Ones that fall into the "almost always" category these days include:
    - Alesmith
    - Ballast Point
    - Port Brewing
    - El Segundo Brewing Company
    - Smog City

    Even more general, I tend to always have something from Belgium on hand.

    Straub Amber is something everyone who comes over here can enjoy, so I keep that handy.

    And oh, yeah, I like it for a light ABV alternative. I'd say that is probably 99% of the time gonna be in the fridge. And it keeps down the taking a beer they dont know and end up tossing a whole [expensive] beer minus 1 sip :angry:

    The most common beers to frequent my fridge/standby's are:

    Schlafly Tasmanian IPA
    Schlafly American IPA
    Urban Chestnut Zwickel
    Coors Light
    Schlafly Hefeweizen (For the Mrs.)
    4 Hands Single Speed

    Then I keep a constant rotation of new stuff as well. Usually a couple different kinds, and replace them with something new when they are gone.

    I don't drink any beer year round and I only drink on weekends. My 'Big Beer' season of Barleywines, Old Ales and Imperial Stouts is over so now it is Naragansett, Boston Lager and various Pilsners.

    I can't complain here either. When we moved into our new house, I went and bought a separate refurbished fridge for the garage. It is now our beer fridge, so I get to buy whatever I want until that thing is full.

    I honestly do not have a go to beer, I'm all over the place, I actually drink very little beer, maybe 4-5 a week.

    Almost always have something by these breweries on deck:
    -Anchor
    -Lagunitas
    -Firestone

    I wish I could afford to have more by Boulevard and Ballast Point on hand, though.
