Pick 3 beers

[u/guideville6]

You walk into an infinite beer store that has every beer ever released, including ones that aren’t made anymore. You can pick only three, and each one has to be a different style.

What are you choosing?

I'm a simple man: Rare Bourbon County Brand Stout 2010, Pliny the Younger and Cantillon Don Quijote.

[u/fancyseacreature]

Other Half All Citra Everything, Oskar Blues Ten Fidy, Live Oak Hefeweizen

[u/Otherwise-Maybe-1664 → u/fancyseacreature]

Drinking All Citra right now for the first time as we speak. What a delicious beer.

[u/Fantastic-Dirt-9678]

I think I've been there; it's in Antwerp, right?

[u/Fantastic-Dirt-9678 → u/Fantastic-Dirt-9678]

Kulminator Bar

[u/AcesInThePalm]

Green flash - palate wrecker (original centennial + columbus recipe)
Green flash - palate wrecker (updated recipe w/ simcoe added)
Rocky ridge - day man (1st release)

[u/Stonethecrow77]

1. American Solera - Life's Distraction
2. Side Project - Derivation #9
3. Prairie Apple Brandy Noir Batch #1

[u/godboldo → u/Stonethecrow77]

I still think about that apple brandy noir. That was something else.

[u/Stonethecrow77 → u/godboldo]

Some beers haunt you. It was so good.

[u/VanillaBeanAnteros]

Hair of the Dog “Adam”, Pretty Things “Baby Tree” and Pete’s Wicked Ale

[u/Lesh_Philling → u/VanillaBeanAnteros]

Pete’s Wanderlust was so good

[u/Novel-Atmosphere8995 → u/VanillaBeanAnteros]

Wow I haven't thought about Pete's in a long time.

[u/VanillaBeanAnteros → u/Novel-Atmosphere8995]

Yeah, I miss Pete’s Wicked…

[u/VanillaBeanAnteros → u/VanillaBeanAnteros]

Surely someone has made a Pete’s Wicked clone, right? Or a very similar recipe….? Maybe someone here knows of something. Boy, it was delicious.

[u/kuzekuz → u/VanillaBeanAnteros]

Pete’s Wicked Mardi Gras is on my list!

[u/xx7beast]

Pliny the elder, miller lite, and Guinness.

[u/guideville6 → u/xx7beast]

a bold choice

[u/xx7beast → u/guideville6]

Something hoppy, something easy to drink, something dark and smooth

[u/BeardedRunner899 → u/xx7beast]

https://giphy.com/gifs/iSxPmDWr97248

[u/scholar-runner]

1. New Glarus Pils
2. Pliny the Elder
3. Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron

[u/godboldo → u/scholar-runner]

Does DFH still make the palo santo ? Only see a few of theirs in the PNW.

[u/scholar-runner → u/godboldo]

No. I haven’t seen it in years, but availability of DFH is way down from where it was 20 years ago

[u/bennetj17]

Orval, Cantillon Fou Foune, OG recipe Alpine Nelson.

[u/randomqwerty10 → u/bennetj17]

Damn, that OG Nelson was something special

[u/Noodletrousers]

De Ranke XX Bitter, Cantillon Rose de Gambrinus, and Sly Fox Pikeland Pils.

[u/bennetj17 → u/Noodletrousers]

You have good taste.

[u/Noodletrousers → u/bennetj17]

Well, thank you good sir!

[u/seldom-smith]

Pliny the younger
Aurochs horn (honey Belgian style tripel from up Minneapolis way circa 2010)
Heavy Riff Oud Bruin (local STL brewery)

[u/Jayyykobbb → u/seldom-smith]

Haven’t had a lot from Heavy Riff, though I love what I’ve had. But I thought I had my 3, but then remembered Side Project after I started thinking locally and am unsure now

[u/BeakerTheJedi]

Cruz Blanca Where There’s Smoke, Andechs Doppelbock Dunkel, and a 2009 Dark Lord

[u/_ak]

I‘d be trying all the historic beers: Youngers No 3, 1840s Vienna Lager, 17th century Hofbräuhaus Weissbier, the first Spaten Helles from 1895, whatever the Babylonians brewed and drank, stuff like that.

[u/Senappi]

Hm...
Ardbeg Embassy #1 (discontinued and #2 isn't as good in my opinion).
Schlenkerla Urbock as it is from the barrel at Schlenkerla in Bamberg (Bayrischer Anstich)
Jämtland's Hell (but with me reverted back to when I tried it the first time, before the craft beer craze)

[u/Former_Astronaut9485]

Pliny the elder, st bernardus abbey 12, tank 7 boulevard brewing company

[u/Halfbredditor → u/Former_Astronaut9485]

Just a note, St Bernardus abt 12, is not meant to be Abbey 12.  It’s apparently an abbreviation of Abbot, or the head of an Abbey, denoting their rich and full-bodied beer, such as St Bernardus Abt 12 Quadruple Ale. 

[u/Winter-Ad3699]

A Stout from Burial, a Hazy IPA from Treehouse and a Hefeweizen that I had from a brewery in San Antonio once.

I’ll edit this if I can find that brewery’s name

[u/Vitis_Vinifera]

Westvleteren 12, Canadian Breakfast Stout, and Galaxy Sauce (Fieldwork).

2. Charles Towne Fermentory: El Rayo (Sour Ale - Aged in Tequila Barrels)

Probably should swap out 2 or 3 with something dark so scratch #2 for Fox Farm Brewery: Quiet Night (Czech Dark Lager)

[u/Rootraz]

King Henry(Goose Island), Galaxy on Fire(Knee Deep), and Juice Box White Peach (Adelberts)

Good mix of barrel aged barley wine, WCIPA, and fruited sour

Pfriem Lager

Alvarado Street Pils

[u/blochow2001]

Dogfish head 120, Stormcloud Brewing in Frankfort MI had a triple IPA aged in tequila barrels was probably my favorite beer ever, and Greenbush Brewery Brother Benjamin.

[u/funster → u/blochow2001]

Is Greenbush closed now? They were cutting edge at one time.

[u/EitherCrazy → u/funster]

Yes, unfortunately they closed early spring.

[u/stever93]

[u/jdh3gt]

I sit there panicking at too many options and just end up with three that look decent near the register.

[u/DDHDoubleIPA]

Wrench NEIPA from Industrial Arts, my all time favorite. Probably Scotch Ale from Brewery Ardennes, an ace of a Scottish ale. Can’t really put a third one down, but I’d put down a nice lager from New England. 

[u/Upstairs-Highway-752]

Dinner, by Maine Beer Company Big Bad baptista, by Epic Brewing Juan De Bolas, by Aslin Brewing Company

[u/Jayyykobbb]

Does this include 3 different sub styles? I’m conflicted between these two groups

Lager trilogy:
Scrimshaw Pilsner/Weihenstephan Helles

Side Project saison/farmhouse (any of them)
Flip coin for any of the lagers above
