    I think that, in this sort of analogy, I'm more of a weekly draft kind of guy.

    I can't do the rotation thing too many great beers. I do drink only low abv beers when watching sports. 3 hours of drinking 10%+ imperial stouts never goes over well.

    Rotations are limiting. I like to try a bunch of new stuff.

    OK, I'll play.

    As a hockey fan and one who's rotation is based on breweries and not individual beers. here's my starting line up.

    C: The Bruery
    RW: Firestone
    LW: Stone
    RD: Smog City
    LD: El Segundo Brewing Co.
    G: Sierra Nevada

    Keeping in mind the game strategy is moving forward I want breweries that can get into new territory and score.

    On defense I want players that are close to home, but I can count to score when under pressure.

    In goal, I want experience, reliability and someone I can count on.

    I won't get into 2nd, 3rd and 4th line, or my healthy farm teams, and scouting.

    Then there is my European Team, which is full of veterans, mostly from Belgium, but players from Germany and England have also made the team.

    Not a rotation per se, but brewers I would like to revisit based on past experiences the last couple of years:

    Yards
    Pittsburgh Brewing Company
    Great Lakes
    Troeg's
    Wolaver's/Otter Creek

    I'd add Founders but their price point scares me. Actually Otter Creek might also but to this point I've been given samples in trade so I don't actually know what they cost.

    No bench, I go all or none. And all weekend players.
    I can't believe I'm writing this shit.

    I've been known to drink whatever beer is in front of me until I get the spins and fall over, does that count?

    Essentially the beer list from my restaurant. So that's a good 16 craft & imported beers. I'm also unfamiliar with basketball since...not American but I'll take a guess. My top 5 most drunk from that list would be:

    C - Baffle Beer Southern Reef India Pale Lager
    PF - Moo Brew Dark Ale
    SF - Brooklyn Brown Ale
    SG - Kronenbourg Blanc
    PG - Prickly Moses REed Ale

    D: Voodoo Killa Pilz (fast, offensively talented, but smart defensively)
    G:Yuengling Summer Wheat (The piece)
