Have you done a Lager ? Could be a good 50th batch .

The 1) Rum Raisin Stout looks really special for this occasion. That gets my vote.

But you probably won't be drinking it any time soon, if that makes a difference. All the others can be had in 2-3 weeks.

Have you tried something with Rye?

Or a smoked malt? I have used Oak smoked wheat, peat smoked, cherrywood smoked, mesquite smoked. It adds an interesting twist to a beer. Peat is strong and can be harsh - use a very little amount. Mesquite is somewhat harsh. The others are milder. These go very well in a stout or porter. Some of the others should do well also. I have used them in milder brown ales.

For my 50th batch I did a RIS. For 100th, it was a Barleywine. Coming up on 150 this year and thinking about what I'll do. In both cases, I bottled with O2 scavenging caps and waxed the tops. Put about 1/2 of them away for aging and crack one open every once in a while. They have aged well.

my vote is a decoction mash beer of some sorts. a barlyewine as suggested above would be cool. or do a split batch first running barleywine then second runnings make a small beer or add some extract and make it a full strength beer.

Farmhouse ale is too generic term and almost every region have there own thing going on.. Any specific you have in mind?

Lager and Pilsner are only beers I try to not make as available in abundance in market

Always love this brew. Already have RRS RIS in my fridge..

You should look into them a little more. You make other styles that there are also an abundance of. I believe a homebrewer can easily brew a beer, any style, that is as good as or better than the average commercial one, lagers and pilsners included.

How about a IPALager

I did a Kentucky Common, with rye for my 200th batch.

Wow!! 200th batch!! How long have you been brewing?.

Also did keep notes all batches till date?

i think you'd find an all base malt lager 'homebrew' would blow your socks off, if you're thinking BMC....

Haven't seen it yet but I would suggest a BIG beer for such a milestone. A Belgian quad is a great choice, but other's might be a Russian Imperial Stout, a barleywine, a strong ale... Make it, store it, then enjoy it!

Surely, for the 50th brew, it has to be GOLD.

 

[wilserbrewer]

I’ve always wanted to try a beer using fresh spruce tips...
It is that time of year if native to your area...

They smell wonderful, but I’ve read not to over do it or it is like drinking pine tar lol...

 

[50calshooter]

Fifty Batch Boch.

 

[Stand]

Belgian Tripel!

 

[brewgar]

Second vote for Kentucky Common.

Or an American Amber Ale.

Celebrate American beer with your 50th.

Belgian Tripel!

Recently did a dubbel.

Thank you all for your inputs. For this batch I have decide to go with Purl beer. Ordered all required ingredients and planning to brew this during coming weekend.

I plan to split the batch in to two 3 gallon batches and make a kettle sour for second batch using tropical fruit: Jamun (Java Plum)

I will keep you all posted on same.
