What's your desert island beer

[FirstAidBrewing]

Stereotypical "if you were stranded on a desert island" question. What beer do you have with you? Remember this is the only brew you have for... let's say at least 6 months.

I believe mine would be Founders All Day IPA.

Your turn.

 

[thatjonguy]

Tank 7.

 

[cyberbrew]

Sculpin.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

wtf, people?!? wtf happened to Stout Season? y'all are fired and you each get 9 berry pawnches!

Creme Brulee Stout will be my choice since I want to be different from the normal crowd. take that, Martha Stewart!

 

[1977Brewer]

I'm assuming this is also my only source of clean water too.

Miller Lite.

Would Black Tuesday be a better choice?

Maybe Rum Barrel Black Tuesday, you know...tropical.

I bet you wouldn't care you were stuck on an island alone with that beer, because you couldn't feel a damn thing.

Castaway IPA for me.



Hey, If I'm going to be a castaway, might as well drink one.

 

[harleybug88]

Any kind of beer, if Mary Ann was there with me.

Oh yeah. Plus Mary Ann might also have some, uhm, "Colorado 100s" on her, if you know what I mean.........

Lonestar.

It's more water than anything and on a desert island you need to worry about dehydration.

To literal?

 

[wysiwyg]

Anything in a really big barrel - then I could use the barrel to get off the island!

 

[NothingRhymesWithCurtiss]

Arrogant Bastard.

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

Stone IPA.

 

[TheMadKing]

Dechutes Red Chair NWPA

 

[Peruvian802]

 

[IslandLizard]

If the island is worth living on, I'd brew my own, whatever ferments. And hopefully a perpetual supply of it.

Showoff...

You rang?

Oh... the beer...yeah.

 

[Derek1985]

Probably Rochefort 8 or the Westmalle Tripel

 

[flars]

A petite saison, if there is a mountain on the island to harvest ice from the glaciers. I like small saisons very cold. No ice, a stout would do.

 

[PlexVector]

As of yesterday I would say Stone Go To IPA.

 

[sudbuddy]

Off Color - Apex Predator

 

[TRENDKILL]

Stone Sublimely Self Righteous, only because it grants temporary invincibility...otherwise id have to go with CCB Jai Alai!!

 

[Floored]

Surly Furious. I had a fresh one last night and I could enjoy it every day.

 

[normonster]

Snpa

 

[BrewerBrad82]

Some sort of imperial barleywine or similar. It would just knock me on my ass and I would not know/care I was stranded.

 

[GrainToGlass]

Westbrook Weisse Weisse Baby. I assume it would pair well with the coconuts on the island as well.

 

[Michigan_Wolfman]

Foster's Lager. Those hefty cans would assure that I wouldn't be giving a rat's ass about being stranded.

 

[d3track]

Surlyfest

 

[OleBrewing]

Wait..is this a "desert" island or a deserted island, or maybe a dessert island.
Anyway since there would be no refridgeration all hoppy beers go to the way side. Warm ipa doesn't seem to quench the thirst. Dark beers pretty much the same. I would have to go with some pbr or something the like.

 

[Kharnynb]

Too many variables....

If we are talking classic, tropical island, food and water needs met, it would depend on the ability to cool the beer somehow.

Good belgian witbier if there is cooling.
Otherwise, maybe some decent dark beer, westvleteren 8 or such.

 

[Hanglow]

Bathams bitter. It's a great beer and you can drink a lot of it

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

I think the assumption is that whatever plane crash or shipwreck occurred, there's enough that a talented electrical engineer can rig up some manner of cooling the beer.

As a talented electrical engineer, I'm covered.

Not sure what y'all are gonna do.

 

[sudbuddy]

On second thought, I'd meet a fine island babe and just have what she's having

 

[Komodo]

LaChouffe

 

[TX_Brewing]

Miller light........

Naw....... On second thought Brooklyn summer ale.

 

[Krampus1]

I would want a good Helles.

 

[FirstAidBrewing]

Love the replies. As the OP, I guess is should clarify.

My original idea for the question was basically "if you had to drink one and only one beer for 6-12 months straight, what would it be.

Now I love a good Belgian, but if I had nothing but Ommegang for 12 months, I might give up beer all together, as much as I love Hennepin.

So assume you are on the Lost island and find the Pearl station and have all your water and other standard fixins, but there's only one beer. What is it?

Oh, and if you haven't seen Lost, log off of HBT and binge watch immediately. You'll be done by the end of the weekend.

Oberon. I changed my vote.

 

[Barley_Bob]

Achel Extra. Is it too much to ask for proper glassware?
