Your Go-To Brew

Id say Flower Power, Community Beer works The IPA, Yeti (any variant), Eliot Ness, Centennial IPA, and of course SNPA

 

Pliny - Lately been fairly easy to get.

 

Zombie Dust, I can drink those all night if they're fresh.

 

Jai Alai

 

- Freshest IPA/IIPA (usually between Flower Power, Maximus, and now Dirt Wolf)
- Best Pilsner or Helles available
- Seasonal sixer

 

Nice to see a shout out for Jarl. What a great beer!

 

I would say the beers I purchase the most are Honker's Ale at 4.2% abv and the freshest, most available English Bitter. And Notch Session Pils at 4%, another great beer for long drinking.....also fresh.

If there were more fresh imported pilsners (Czech or German)/Helles I might grab those more often, but unfortunately there aren't.

 

I guess that depends on how much turnover your area gets, but around me I don't really look at dates anymore on those beers. It's been a while since I've gotten really burned. Oxidation and/or mistreatment can definitely be issues, but I'm not really running into it as much as in the past. That's pretty much why I said best above- it's pretty much the deciding factor for me these days (iow- I'd get an older Augustiner over a fresher Pilsner Urquell).

 

Baba Black Lager

 

Bell's Two Hearted
OB's Dale's Pale Ale
21st Amendment Bitter American (haven't found it fresh lately but hope to in spring)
NoDa Hop Drop N Roll (local)

 

Also, wish I could get Odell IPA, Dechutes Black Butte Porter, Troeg's Hopback Amber, and FW Union Jack IPA - those would be major go-to 6ers.

 

Wifey buys two-hearted whenever the stock in the fridge is low, and I can't argue with that. I would go to FFF pride & joy daily if I could get it daily.

 

Easy to pick a brewery....Jacks Abby is my go to. Smoke & Dagger is always in the house and at least one other of their products somewhat season dependent.

Individual beers? Tough to say. Boulevard Tank 7 is almost always at hand. Usually one or two from Mystic and a couple from Victory, Stone, and Troegg's. Then it gets pretty random.

 

My go-to's would be Torpedo, Two-Hearted, and HopDevil

 

Mine was New Glarus Fat Squirrel but now that it's seasonal I'm in the process of finding a new year round go-to. New Glarus Moon Man is a top contender along with Dale's Pale Ale and Milwaukee Brewing Company's Hop Happy. I did also really enjoy Wisconsin Brewing Company's IPA and now that their distribution has reached my area that could be a contender as well

 

I seriously don't have a regular beer in the fridge. I tend to switch up a lot. Recently, the ones that have been in the fridge regularly are:

DirtWolf
Hop Ranch
Abrasive
Sucks

Stuff I can get everyday, if I had to stockpile a fridge, would be:

OB Dale's PA
Stone IPA
Bell's Two Hearted

 

Narragansett Bohemian Pils and Torpedo

 

Columbus IPA

 

My beer fridge always has Prima Pils and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale in it.
