Your dream mix 6 pack

Andechser Doppelbock
Firestone Walker Abacus/Sucaba
De Struise Pannepot
Legend of the Liquid Brain (might as well go with Pappy variation)
Augustiner Lagerbier Hell
New Belgium’s Eric’s Ale

 

I'll only include beers that I've actually had, although my dream 6 pack will probably be completed when I go to Cali and pick up some Russian River beers!

Sierra Nevada Celebration
DFH 90 Minute
Founder's Red's Rye
North Coast Old Rasputin
Samuel Smith Imperial Stout
Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald

 

In fictional fairy tale world...

I would have:
CBS
KBS
BCBCS
Bells BA 9000
BA Plead the 5th
Black Tuesday

 

Weeeeeeelll, I don't think I can narrow it down to six BREWERIES or six STYLES of beer, let alone six specific, individual beers. It makes my brain hurt to even try.

So I'll include my best attempt at a 12-pack, with the idea that any 6 beers selected at random from the full 12 would be a mighty fine 6-pack in my eyes.

(in no particular order)

Boulevard Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale
Duvel
Green Flash Rayon Vert
Orval Trappist Ale
Young's Double Chocolate Stout
Cantillon Classic Gueuze
Deschutes Black Butte Porter
Cantillon Kriek 100% Lambic
Boulevard Hoppy Wheat
Green Flash West Coast IPA
Samuel Smith Organic Chocolate Stout
Franziskaner Hefe-weisse

 

Depends on season...

I have these in my fridge! I keep telling my wife we are living the dream! (she usually rolls her eyes and then asks that I make some space in the fridge)

 

Heady Topper (Interest piqued)
Pliny The Younger (Had The Elder Once)

Are bombers allowed in the sixer? I'm just going to assume yes (when I lived down the street from Brew, a bottle shop in south Philly, they always let me mix-a-six with bombers). I'm also only putting in beers I've had before.

Heady Topper
RR Consecration
Ballast Point Coffee Vanilla Imperial Porter
Weyerbacher Insanity
Wake n' Bake
Nugget Nectar

 

Heady Topper
Troeg's Nugget Nectar

My dream six pack would be:
Deschutes Red Chair NWPA
Victory HopDevil
Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye
Founder's Red's Rye PA
Anchor Liberty Ale
and my local pick:
Great River Brewing 483 Pale Ale or Bent River Uncommon Stout

 

I started thinking about this and figured someone started a thread, but I was surprised it didn't get a ton of responses cause it's a great question. I usually can never find a mix 6 I actually want to throw together--either so-so selections or freshness issues typically deter me. So if I could build a "dream" 6er it'd be:
Sip
KBS
Julius
Victory at Sea
Lights On
Heady

 

BCBS
Amber Smashed Face
Gone Away
Hair of the Dog Cherry Fred
Prarie Bomb
KBS

 

Heady
Julius
Parabola
PTE
Westy
ZD

 

Parabola
Double DBA
Pliny the Elder
Heady Topper
Supplication
KBS

 

heady
pliny
sue
zd
sos

My dream "mix a six" are all breweries I can't get here:
Thirsty Dog
Fat Heads
Troeggs
Odells
Terrapin
Jackie O's
All would be most welcome.
