Which 3 beers?

[BroomVikin]

I’ve got room for 3 kegs in my fridge and I’m just about to kick my last keg. With nothing in the pipeline it’s a clean slate heading into the fall season. If you could have three beers on tap and ready for fall/winter which would they be and why?

 

[jtrentpearson]

Oktoberfest, Munich Dunkle and a RiS

 

[CasB]

Weizenbock for rainy days,
Begian Quad to enjoy at a fireplace
and a winter beer like N'Ice Chouffe because it's winter.

 

[Weezy]

IPA
Vienna lager
Baltic porter

 

[TasunkaWitko]

Speaking for myself only, and in no particular order, a fall line-up that I would really like would include:

a smoked wheat, somewhere between hefeweizen and dunkelweizen (I've made this and it is wonderful)

a honey-sage seasonal (haven't brewed this yet, but it is on my list for fall, with home-grown sage and local honey)

and something I've been rolling around in my head that would be a sort of abbey/wheat ale; I've developed a tentative recipe and am calling it "Klosterkirche Weizenbier"

 

[BroomVikin]

IPA
Vienna lager
Baltic porter

I just kicked a Baltic Porter keg. It's one of my favorite styles but I might sub it out for a RIS just to have something a little "heartier".

I put a lime-basil twist on Cream of Three Crops once and it was very good. Never thought of trying sage though...

Of the big beer styles, RIS is my least favorite, personally. BP might be my fav beer style overall. I'd much, much rather have a barleywine or old ale or baltic porter; big malt, no roast.

Salted Caramel stout
Scottish ale
Helles bock

How might you go about a Salted Caramel stout? I don't see a recipe in the DB and a search isn't too helpful.

[stonebrewer]

NEIPA - love the style, aroma, and hoppy flavor
Old ale, Altbier - love that big malt flavor
Smoked - Something like HOTD Adam or Schlerlenka, smoked beers are awesome and underappreciated IMHO

If I had a 4th choice, Vanilla Rye

 

[Grod1]

a graf
a robust porter
and work on a sour for January

 

[corkybstewart]

Floral IPA(Hop Hunter, Torpedo)
Dry stout
Belgian quad
Because these are 3 delicious styles, especially in the fall and winter.
Now if you're thinking of 3 styles for watching fall football(as in you drink for 4 hours and stay awake):
Hefeweizen(German style)
Helles or Mai bock
Session strength English brown ale

 

[italarican]

Dry-hopped saison (everyday drinker)
Imperial Stout (the dessert/sipper)
Flanders Red (always need a sour available)

 

[Kent88]

Marzen, Maibock, Doppelbock.

But that seems excessive on the malty lagers, so instead I'll swap out Marzen with Sweet Stout.

Why... I live in a climate with snowy winters and in the winter I want something that feels good after I come in from shoveling snow. I want something that makes me feel kind of like a warm soup or stew might (not that I'm looking to pair those beers with a soup or stew). So these are the styles I enjoy that meet that criteria.

Sweet Stouts are a decent change of pace from bocks for someone who isn't into hoppy beer, and I'd want a lighter bock to tide me over until the doppelbock is ready.

As for my styles for fall, I'm going to brew a Rye IPA, pumpkin ale, and a stout for this fall.

Definitely agree with you there, if there is a good snow storm in the forecast I'm sure to go pick up a 6 pack of doppelbock. The only time I ever drink it is when it snows.

I'd probably brew a nice roasty/chocolately brown ale, a big ass double IPA, and something else, maybe a porter.

 

[JimRausch]

Here's my 3 for Fall:
Altbier or maybe DoubleAlt
RyePale Ale
Honey Porter
and I'll add a Graf because it's a hybrid

Love the first two, but I would maybe change the third and go with a slightly dry and crisp Kolsch.

Soooooo, about that Salted Caramel Stout recipe....

 

[kh54s10]

Hoppy pale ale or IPA for something pretty light, a porter or stout and something really BIG.
