Yesterday we agonized through the cask list but in my Fantasy Pub I also want a fridge full of drinks and perhaps a few lined up behind the bar. Similarly to the cask stuff, you can have three permanent bottles plus the full range of ONE brewery. You will also probably like to have some spirits or something else (perhaps a soft drink, maybe wine or cider or perhaps just more beer), in case the mood takes you, so you can choose three bottles of ANYTHING else you like.
Three permanent bottles
The full-range (or at least most of the range – you don’t need to say which) of bottles from ONE brewery
Three bottles of ANYTHING else
My three permanents: Orval, Pliny the Elder and Harviestoun’s Ola Dubh (I will be cheeky and allow myself a rolling change of the range).
I’d want the full bottle range from Mikkeller.
And my three OTHER bottles: Some BrewDog Tokyo* (instead of any spirits), Coke Zero (to keep Lauren happy) and water (for when I’ve had one too many).

ReplyDeleteDogFish Head Indian Brown Ale
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Southern Tier IPA
Full-range from one brewery
I would have my own, i would bottle some of all the exsperimental and seasonal brews that i do so that they can be tasted and comparded all year round.
+
Water
Fentimans Dandelion & Burdock
Timmermans Strawberry
Yes, I'd probably go for the Mikkeller range, too, though I'm tempted by the He'Brew beers as well.
ReplyDeleteThe three bottles? Jever Pils, BrewDog Rake Raspberry. And a Trappist, I can't make up my mind which one.
Plus water, Highland Park 12 yrs and a bottle of calvados
This is another hard one, especailly the 3 permanant ones.
ReplyDeleteI'd agree and go with the full range from mikkeller.
3 permanents would be chimay (again being cheeky and rotating them) thornbridge halcyon, Theakstons paradise ale
3 other bottles would be Timmy taylors landlord, sam smiths stout and some cropton honey gold for emily as thats her fave at the moment.
actually i might scrap the land lord for some irn bru or ginger beer (soft drink not alcoholic)
ReplyDeleteThis is really tough but without over thinking it I'd say...
