I don’t have one “go-to”, rather some regulars that find their way into my hand. I will drink light, craft, dark, fruity, etc. depending on the situation. Beers are like tools. Different ones are required for each job or event.
A few of the regulars:
-Surly anything (generally a Winter beer or “only a few” at the in-laws over holidays beer)
-Blue Moon (if on a boat or out in the heat)
-Spotted Cow (swiss army knife of beers… any time any place)
-Leinenkugels Summer Shandy (if on a boat late summer)
-Miller Lite (if an all-day marathon drink)
-Busch Light (the classic garage beer that someone else buys and you gladly drink)
-Most Fulton beers (MN sporting events or out for dinner)
-Old Milwaukee Light (if trying to drink an all day beer that novice drinkers will leave alone)
-Castle Danger Cream Ale (Spotted Cow’s little brother… great ice fishing beer also)
-Forager Brewing Beers out of Rochester (the best craft beers in MN)
Never Ever: Bud Light. Rumor has it this crap actually lead to the infamous TP shortage of 2020 for obvious reasons.
