Three Beers That I Would Want On a Desert Island

PrintWhat are your "Stranded on a Desert Island Beers"?
1) I have to start with my favorite beer of All-Time, Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale because it works in hot and cold situations.
2)Then I would need a Stout to keep a nice layer of fat for cold nights and I'd have to say that a particular Milk Stout made by Left Hand that I had in Phoenix last time has moved up to #2 in my cue.
3) Finally, I'd have to say Bud Light, because it is the closest to water and I'd need plenty of that!
What are your Top 3?

NOLA Brown Ale
It’s a New Orleans microbrew…sadly they still don’t bottle it and you can only get it in kegs or mini-kegs.
So tasty.

I absolutely need my Newcastle in any and every situation.

1. Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye
2. Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter
I don’t need a third.

Thanks to a recent recommendation from JP, I agree the Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye is a must try. He also recommended the Bear Republic Racer 5 IPA, which has quickly become my number one, and that was from bottle. Imagine my glory when it became available on tap – short lived, though it was.
Due to these recommendations:
I will be visiting the Bear Republic Restaurant in Healdsburg today. I have always been a fan of Racer 5 and am looking forward to trying their other offerings. Thanks Gents and Cheers!

1. New England Ghandi-Bot IPA
One of my top-two favorite examples of my favorite beer style.
2. Otter Creek Stovepipe Porter
Dark, smooth and very flavorful – I’d need an option like this for variety.
3. Pacifico
I’m hoping it’s going to be hot on the island, and this one was brewed for it.

Russian River Brewery
The best beer I have had recently is Pliny The Younger (a limited edition triple IPA). I had it at the Hopyard in Pleasaton California. They only get 2 kegs a year and I was lucky enough to have the bartender, Keith, recommend it to me. Pliny The Elder, a double IPA, is good but The Younger is out of this world.
Have heard great things about the brewery
I don't want to keep believing in illusions
UZR can suck it!!
I can vouch for this.
I was in Santa Rosa for the last two Younger days at RRBC. Long lines, but at the end of the line, the nectar of the Gods.
Yikes!
No Dogfish Head 90m IPA?!?!?! Blasphemy against beer drinkers world-wide!
Oof.

I'm making a list of all of these:
I look forward to trying them. I wonder if we could make a Top 50 beers of SB Nation?

Rec'd.
I’ve never had ‘Terrapin Wake n Bake’ but when I read Coffee Oatmeal Porter…

here we go
1. Magic Hat #9 – this would be my go to after working on the abode all day. Goes down smooth yet has some depth to it. Nothing wrong with enjoying a good beer after a hard days work.
2. Allagash Triple – For the days of drinking your sorrows away. Always a favorite when I hit up Euolgy in Philly. Also it will give me the courage to swim home.
3. Southern Tier 2XIPA – I am going to go for another strong one here only because I figure driving is no longer an issue. I love hops and I think they did this one right.
So where is this island and when do we leave?
I like Celebration but
Have you had the Tumbler? Its addictively good
That being said:
1)Yuengling Lager (I live in Philly – its more a right than a privilege)
2) Troegs Mad Elf (For when I want to get really sauced)
3) Stella Artois (I’d consider substituting this with Warsteiner)
I spent the last 3 minutes thinking about it, and I think instead of Mad Elf, I’d go with Chimay Red…really have to work an abbey ale in there and it gets you similarly as sauced
Right on with the Yuengling
I moved from Philly years ago and can manage without hoagies and cheesesteaks but no Yuengling sucks.
My other two are Shiner Bock and Arrogant Bastard.
Cowboys suck.
Dude
I’m originally from New York / North Jerz and been living in Philly for several years now. The weirdest part is going to bars outside of this area and asking for a ‘Lager’ and they say ‘Which one?’ My puzzled face at that point is priceless
Haha
Yeah I remember the first time I left PA after I was 21, and I had the same experience. “Uhhhh, well Yuengling of course!”

Our list, so far:
NOLA Brown Ale - Regional to new Orleans
Newcastle – Newcastle, ENG – International
Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye – Healdsburg, CA – International/Regional
Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter – Cleveland, Ohio – Regional
Pilsener Urquell – Pilsen, Czech Republic (the company is owned by Miller but it is from the home of pilsener). It tastes amazing, I don’t know how the Czech’s do it but they make seriously good beer!
Adnams Bitter – Southwold, England. I got an opportunity to go to the brewery and it was seriously good. It’s an ale so it’s meant to be warm so there’s no problem with cooling it!
Staropramen – Prague, Czech Republic. I’m from England and this is the best lager on tap in a lot of pubs so I put it down because it would remind me of home!
Greetings from the Great White North
If I was to be stranded on a desert Isle, I would choose something special like:
1. Sleeping Lady Urban Wilderness Pale Ale
2. Moose’s Tooth Alpenglow Amber
3. Arrogant Bastard Ale:

"Spaceball One, they've gone to plaid!"
Hello everyone
As a college student that recently turned 21 I think this blog might be just what I need.
Beer to try:
McSorely’s- I think it’s based out of NYC. It’s kinda dark but I liked the taste. I think you can get it anywhere in NY since I’m from upstate and it was sold there.
In drinking order
1) Oakshire Espresso Stout
2) Green Flash West Coast IPA
3) HUB (Hopworks) Lager
Can you tell where I live?

the Celis is almost a white, it’s the perfect beer, but if you’re a dark beer lover, probably not your thing…

3. Left hand sawtooth ale
2. Seirra Nevada Celebration Ale
1. Red Seal Amber Ale.
This blog is bad for me. I just sit here while reading it in Japan and droll over this while they serve $3.00 a can versions of yellow macrobrew piss-water that has actually started to convert me into a wine drinker.
Currently searching for a better signature.
My List
Oakshire- Espresso Stout
Ninkasi- Total Domination IPA
and for my Lager….
San Miguel Light -
^It is the pride of the philippines
No kidding
I could have easily put nearly any beer from the Deschutes brewery or Rouge on that list.
I mean, why would Der Komissar parade around constantly saying that we, the fans, want 18 games when it’s pretty obvious that – as far as all the polls I’ve seen – we think otherwise? It’s like a Jedi mind trick. "These are not the games you are looking for."
I actually think it is unfortunate that there is a real lack of Oregon Microbrew on these lists
"What the hell was that?"
"Spaceball One, they've gone to plaid!"
My 3
would all come from MN, Surly Furious, Summit EPA and Lake Superior Oatmeal Stout.
Sure, baseball makes me thirsty. But pumping iron with bears makes me even thirstier.
1. Russian River Pliny the Younger
2. Rochefort 10
3. Stone Double Bastard
…hopefully I don’t need to do much hunting on this island, cuz I’d be quite drunk most of the time. Fishing might be possible, if we’re talking about the “sit in the boat and drink all day and hope you catch something” sort of fishing. Spearfishing couldn’t possibly end well.
