There are a ton of beers I haven't tried yet and we don't buy much anymore unless the pipeline gets broken. That being for a go to it would be Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye for me I can't get enough.

When I do drink non homebrew, my current go to beers are Sam Adams Latitude 48 IPA, new version with Mosaic hops, Triton Brewery Railspitter IPA, and SunKing Osiris Pale Ale.

Crowne Royal was my go to about a year ago. But now I am back into beer.

I'm mostly a 'try something new every time and only try something once' kinda guy, but generally Yazoo would be my go-to if I have one. Somewhere between Pale Ale, Hop Project and a seasonal (either Saison or Fall Lager).

My "go to" is usually always a local brew and here lately its been Sweetwater's ipa. It's always fresh and always tasty.

When I'm out, I look for things that I haven't tried before. When I'm at home, with a selection of my own brews, my choice is whatever I haven't had in the last few days. So, really no "go to" brew.

My "go to" is whatever homebrew I feel like drinking, I've got so much of it, no need to go elsewhere.

If I buy something, in general it's something I've never had before. Or if I'm dining out, something from a local Micro that's on tap.

My go to is a local beer, sort of, that has some regional attention. being from Philadelphia, I love a Yuengling when I'm out at the bar. It's got enough flavor that it tastes good, everyone in Philadelphia carries it(if you ask for a lager, you get a Yuengling. Beer purists can debate the accurateness of that since most BMC beers that are marketed are lagers, but in Philly, Lager=Yuengling). Plus, it isn't too expensive. And I like it.

I don't buy much beer any more, I have plenty I've made, and get the occasional variety pack when people visit from out of town. I guess if I had to buy a familiar favorite I'd go with Guinness, I like those, plus they make good Irish carbombs.
