Default Best short list of beers...

I think a lot of us like to try something different every night. But if you could only have a short list of beers - 5... 6.. 7... What would you choose to keep you happy no matter what you were in the mood for?

Choosing today, I would probably take:
Allagash Black
SN Pale Ale (my one sessionable, despite hating the term)
Smuttynose Barleywine
Souther Tier Un*Earthly
Stone Ruination

Backups:
Sixpoint Bengali Tiger
Oskar Blues Ten Fidy
Clown Shoes Muffin Top

I discovered over time (don't know how it took so long) that I hate IPAs...hate 'em. After the stouts, might be some porters on the list, guess that's who my tastebuds roll.

Terrapin Wake n Bake
Ballast Point Sculpin
KBS or CBS - I like them equally
Rochefort 10
Hopslam
Pliny The Elder


Honorable mentions could go to a thousand others but Sweetwater IPA when fresh is great but it fades rather quickly.

Not much unfortunately. I drank a bunch of last years (10.10.10) I just remember it being a very nice change of pace.

I'll buy an 11.11.11 or two next time I'm out.

I've only had 10.10.10 and 11.11.11 but IIRC I enjoyed the 10.10.10 a lot more than the 11.11.11.

I could be mistaken but I don't remember buying too many 11.11.11's.


EDIT yeah I just looked it up. I preferred 10.10.10 over 11.11.11.
