SUMMIT SAGA!

 

sixpoint resin or sweet action

 

Bells Two Heated, SNPA, and now that they're canning Rhinegeist Truth.

 

Sculpin
Jai Alai (new go-to)
Breakfast Stout (when it's in season)
Old Rasputin

 

Right now my go to is Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye. Local go to store has great price on this one.

 

Always bright green MadTree cans in my fridge these days.

 

NoDa Hop Drop and Roll, so glad this is locally available.

 

With so many wonderful seasonals, my fridge is constantly changing.

However, one of these is always there:

Sculpin
Hop Drop and Roll
Two Hearted

 

Centennial, Two Hearted, Sweetwater IPA.

 

Deschutes Chain Breaker

 

This time of year it's FBS.

Come summer it'll be Mass Rising, Allagash White, Be Hoppy, and/or Flower Power.

 

Black Butte, DirtWolf

 

Union Jack

 

Any of the Three Floyds, Revolution Anti Hero and Surly furious/over rated

 

Deschutes Black Butte

 

Tallgrass Ethos IPA. Summit Saga IPA.

Those are the 2 beers I purchase more than any other.

 

Used to be Racer 5. Now it's Headhunter.

 

Long Trail Double Bag

 

Dales Pale. I've been on a serious Oskar Blues kick since they came to Indiana.

 

lakefront ipa/ 2 hearted

 

Always have a pack of at least 3 of these beers on hand.

Furious
Sweet Child of Vine
Oatmeal Moo Joos
Two Hearted
Lil Sumpin Sumpin
FBS (fall and winter)

 

My "house" beers:

Warm season: Lagunitas IPA.
Cold season: Bell's Two Hearted, Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald and Bell's Java Stout

 

Brooklyn BCS
Flower Power
Scotty Karate
Unita Ann. Barleywine
Westbrook IPA
DFH Palo Santo
Uinta Cockeyed Cooper
Wookey Jack
Pretty Things Barbapapa
Heady Topper (as of late)

 

I am happy to report that I really don't have one. I pretty much buy all the great seasonals (Sucks, Enjoy By etc.) that are out at the time and mix in some of my favorite regulars (Vitus, Jai Alai, Sculpin), but am never really buying cases of one beer in particular, there are just too many great beers out there (and I am by no means a ticker)
Variety is the spice of Life!!!!!!!!!!

 

This is a fantastic question as I am like many others I no longer have a go to as I stick to the seasonals. However, before I found this site and went absolutely apeshit buying beers I usually always had a 6er of Great Lakes Commodore Perry and sadly I probably haven't tasted that beer in close to a year now.

 

Dave.

 

DFH 90 min, Wells banana bread, guinness, and surprisingly yuengling porter.

 

Man, that is a great question. I used to have go to beers, but since coming here and seeing all the beer's I've been missing, I've been all about expanding my palate. Local Beers would have to be my "go to". Really into grabbing growlers.

Today, if I was inviting someone over for eats and serving beer, it would probably be Pisgah Brewing's Red Lager or Something Porter/Stout from Wicked Weed.

 

Better stock up on the Raison d'etre. The beer is limited this year. They are bringing back Raison d'Extra

 

Heavy Seas Loose Cannon, Dogfish Head 60 minute, Bell's Two-Hearted, or Founder's Red's Rye.

 

I normally like to drink different beer, gotta drink them all. But I would have to say Heavy Seas Loose Cannon or Flying Dog Snake Dog. They serve them at the Orioles games.

 

DFH 90 and Mendocino's Talon DIPA

 

Sucks has been my go-to as of late. Otherwise, I go for SNPA, DFH 60 or 90, or Boston Lager if I need a crowd pleaser.

 

x2IPA is my preferred go-too brew

 

Thanks for the tip. Will be sure to stock up when I find it next. Haven't had Raison d'Extra, how is that?
