One Beer for Life

[Kjm06]

This beer is what got me into homebrewing

That would be some kind of hell for sure... Ask me this question three times and I'd give you three different answers I'm sure, but today feels like:

[Subsailor]

Here's my choice: Alaskan Brewing Company Pilot Series Imperial India Pale Ale

 

[the_bird]

As good of an "everyday drinker" as I've ever had. I think I'd burn out on nothing but IPA all the time; I'd rather have something clean and balanced with just enough hop character.

If I need more hops, I'll drink another one!

 

[Kosch]

I think I'd probably have to pick this..

Just had one of those the other night. Amazing.

There can be only one... Green Man E.S.B.

 

[HeavyKettleBrewing]

If I had to make a choice today. Hopefully I would also be stranded on a tropical island paradise, with internet of course.

When I score a pair of these for aging, the only beer I ever drink will be Scarlett Johanssons panty aged imperial stout.

So many great brews out there that it's hard to choose. Even if it was 4 (one per season) it'd be a bit easier. But I guess the one that I know I could drink any time regardless of the context:

 

[brewmaster12]

Ommegang Abbey Ale- It was a tough call between this, Dogfish Head 90 Min IPA, and Hoegaarden.

 

[justabrewin]

Really? I am the first one?

 

[Bamsdealer]

Or should hops from too much Nugget Nectar eat away my taste buds, I think I'd have to go with Voodoo Cowbell on nitro. Since I can't find a pic anywhere on the net, this will have to do

 

[Kealia]

Kosch - good call on the Dead Guy Ale. Interesting...here in San Jose, CA I only see the bottles with the painted on labels, not the actual label like your pic.

I'm surprised it took so long for somebody to call out Pliny given it's popularity among hopheads.

For me, I'm on the fence between two but I'm going with: Firestone Walker's Double Barrel Ale

 

[mytommygundont]

Odell's IPA because it is liquid delicious. The label rocks too.

 

[DoubleAught]

That would be some kind of hell for sure... Ask me this question three times and I'd give you three different answers I'm sure, but today feels like:

That's a close 2nd to the one I posted, a very close 2nd.

 

[ZombieBrew83]

Can't believe I'm the first with this one. Got to say Bell's Two Hearted. Such a good all around beer. Great for all seasons, IMO.

Good call on Dead Guy. That was a close runner up.

Agreed!

I really enjoy Victory's Prima Pils, too. Awesome when fresh. I could do with that.

 

[masonsjax]

I can't decide because I haven't tried them all yet.

 

[Ultra-Medic]

Have really been enjoying SN Ruthless Rye lately. An addictive and refreshing flavor in a market of cloned beers. I remember Stones Cali-Belgique also leaving an impression with me, but I havent been able to find it again to be sure.

 

[wolfstar]

This one for now :rockin:

Yes!!! I was scrolling through quickly assuming that I'd find dales rather quickly on this post, but page 3?!?? Wow. Absolutely, unequivocally Dales Pale Ale. Cheers!!

 

[Oddpac87]

Without a doubt:

 

[kb6m]

So many choices. Each one special in it's own way. I'd be good with this.

 

[BeerEnthused]

I would definitely pick Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale! Especially if it was free, it would totally be worth just drinking that.

 

[Double_D]

I second that^^

 

[Beer-lord]

Though I am so with others and the Stone Sublimely-Self Righteous, my go to beer that taught me everything I love about IPA's is Bear Rebublic's Racer 5.
