for the rest of your life. You can have all of their offerings, but nobody else's.

Brewery Choices:

-Bells
-Stone
- New Belgium
-Sweet Water
-Sierra Nevada
-Goose Island


This is inspired by a bar conversation I ran into last night. I went with Bells, but I don’t have a lot of conviction either way.


Bonus question: Is there a LA brewery you would choose over the best one of these. And which is it?

I'd go with Bell's as well. Sierra Nevada a close second but they stopped the year round pilsner and I can never find the Kellerweis anymore.

Oof. Pretty bad list.

Probably New Belgium due to their barrel program though

Easily Bell's from that list, if only for Two Hearted Ale.

I'd add NOLA and Gnarley Barley. Maybe Great Raft.

Right. But the reason they came up with them is they’re some of the most recognizable/available brands nation wide. And it wasn’t that long ago they were cutting edge craft brewers. Now they’re on the “bad list” lol.

Bells would be my choice of those. My LA choice would be Gnarly or LA31.

I'm not sure about LA breweries, but there is probably one I'd pick if their offerings are on par with most other states.

There are numerous in Georgia I'd pick over these.

Don't know enough about Bells other offerings, but Sierra Nevada and Stone could be good options as well.

From that list, Sierra Nevada. They make several IPAs that I like better than any IPA the rest of them make. And I think they do the best job of any national brewery at quality control. Their IPAs stay fresh a lot longer than just about anyone else.

Probably Stone or Sierra Nevada. I would have thrown New Belgium in there for their barrel program, but there just isn't anything else they make, i enjoy. Goose Island, also for their barrel program, but outside of that, i don't like any of their "clean" beers.

Sierra Nevada

As for LA breweries to pick over those, I could take either Parish or Bayou Teche over all of them. Preferably BT if that’s the only one I get to have for the rest of my life, due to the variety they offer.
