I see we have at least a handful of beer enthusiasts here that like to try a lot of different beers

I do as well. Just wondering if there are any beers that are a fixture in your rotation or that you keep around at just about all times?

Here recently it's been Rayon Vert and 8-Bit Pale ale.

DFH 90 Minute, Left Hand Nitro Milk Stout, and Bell's Two Hearted when I can get it.

Same with Good People Snakehandler and Karbach Rodeo Clown.

Canebrake will probably be a fixture once bottles hit BR.

Mostly my repeat brews are my homebrews, and the bottles rotate constantly with new stuff.

Whatever craft beer is on sale is usually the one I buy. Beer's getting expensive...

I normally like to keep some type of pale ale or IPA in the fridge at all times. We normally have the Sierra Nevada or Deschuttes Pale Ale, mostly for the wife's drinking. IPAs normally include Racer 5 or Lagunitas. We also normally have Lagunitas Little Sumpin in the house too because its the wife's favorite beer.

Besides for those staples I normally have a good mix of 1-off beers in a variety of styles. Ideally having 1 of each type of beer will keep me from getting bored.

Of late, not really. I like to mix it up too much. But I do have/drink more Bell's Two Hearted than any of the others when I can get it. It's kind of a fallback beer for me. But if you ask me what beer I have the most of right now, it's Sierra Nevada Hoptimum. Can't really call it a staple, but I've got a dozen of them.

Well, if i could ever whittle down on my beer stock, i'd be able to tell you. Calandro's new inventory and going to Houston once every couple months keeps me stocked up with multiple different brews.

But, i think Squatter's Hop Rising will always be a constant in my fridge. It's delicious and readily available.

I like IPAs so I usually have some go-to's in my fridge at all times. My two favorite that are fairly easy to come by in the BR area are SN Torpedo and Stone Ruination.

I usually keep a lighter beer on hand like a Magic Hat #9, St Arnold Weedwacker or Real Ale Firemans #4. In the colder months I will get some stouts on hand and my most common one is Young's Double Chocolate.

Though as of right now I have the following:

Yuengling
Yuengling Light
Yuengling Black & Tan
Sweetwater Blue
Tecate
Stone Vertical Epic 11.11.11
Snoqualme Copper Pale
Freemont Pale Ale
All The Pretty Things
And there might be a Dos Equis hiding somewhere.

i am a self professed beer snob, but i just cant afford to have any craft beer fixtures.
I still keep miller lite in my fridge. Blast me away.

It is a cheap beer that i like.
