or tropical island beers, whatever....
if you had to be stuck with only 5 commercially made beers for the rest of your life, what would they be?
here are mine:
1:Pliny the elder
2:two hearted
3:Ruination
4:Hopslam
5:Busch*
*i fully expect to take some shit for Busch beer being on my list, but suck it. there is a place in my life for a light american lager. sometimes i want to drink 15 beers in a day, and those days i drink busch beer. also, it helps fix hop tongue, which would be pretty severe if the other 4 beers were all i had to drink.

Off the top of my head:
1. Firestone Walker - Wookey Jack
2. Alaskan - Smoked Porter
3. Sierra Nevada - Torpedo
4. Rogue - Dirtoir Black Lager
5. Lagunitas - Wilco Tango FoxtrotAmigo, lay them raises down. -
Hmmmm
OK ... though this list is subject to change ...
Celebrator
Traquair House Ale
Chimey Red
SN Bigfoot
Oaked Arrogant Bastard.... oh shucks scratch that one .... Anchor Porter just for old times sakeNever attribute to malice, that which can adequately be explained by stupidity. -
1. Avery Maharaja (still my all time favorite IIPA)
2. Stone Ruination
3. Stone Double Bastard
4. Old Rasputin
5. Racer 5
This is of course all subject to change when I think of something else I would absolutely want -
So in this fantasy I can have anything? Wow, this is awesome.
So, I would really like to drink that Westvleteren 12 every friggin day, so that's on the list for sure.
Pliny the Elder is coming along for the ride too.
A little Stone Ruination and maybe their Russian Imperial Stout to malty things up a bit when the occasion calls.
How many is that? Ooo I have one more.... I think I'll hold the slot open for now.The only thing between me and a train wreck is blind luck..... - Kenny -
In no order:
2. Augustiner Maximator
5. Genesee Cream Ale
1. Dog Fish Head 90min (but not the crap you get now, the good batch from 2 years ago)
3. Zywiec Porter
4. Sammy Smith oatmeal"I don't have TP, but I do have ammo."

there's no way i could narrow it down to five that i would be happy with forever. i'd be sick of them after a month. i needs more variety!
five beers doesn't even cover all the beer styles i would want to bring.The pinnacle of lame and awesome in one singular moment. -Lake -

Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier? That's several orders of magnitude more real when it comes to a Hefe. Besides, Blue Moon is supposed to be a Wit isn't it? It's a bad example of the style, but it's not even supposed to be a hefe.The only thing between me and a train wreck is blind luck..... - Kenny -

leave the man's choices alone. if he wants blue moon around, its probably because he his hoping to feed it to local ladies.
good planning really. -

it's all good. if he wants to have bottles of wheat clippings and baby vomit, i'm not one to judge. I just wanted to set the record straight as far as referring to that stuff as a hefe.

I think it is supposed to be something AB-InBev can sell to chicks. I honestly don't know what it is "supposed" to be. But I just thought of something better.

i've had it both before and after the budwiener corp bought it. there is a significant change in the product.
it was never a good wit, but now it tastes like bud light with a little wheat in the grist.The pinnacle of lame and awesome in one singular moment. -Lake -

i would drink it before, it used to carry a lot more suspended yeast and a ton more malt flavors. now it's just water and a teensy bit of yeast sediment in a bottle. and the yeast is all clumpy and flocculant..

I'll keep that in mine... i often see chimey as cost prohibitive, but it's on my list of "need to try again now that I'm less dumb", and we seem to have similar taste... though the Stone on your list is, well, meh in my book, one of stones best but still a little chemical in flavor."I don't have TP, but I do have ammo."
