Trog's thread asking for our top 10s got me to thinking about the beers that you just always have on hand. The good solid beers that may or may not be stellar but that are consistently good and have become a standard feature in your fridge (some of them of course may also appear in your top 10).
The following are fixtures in my fridge. It's rare that I don't have most or all of them in there at any given time.
Oskar Blues Old Chub
New Belgium Abbey
Dogfish Head Raison D'Etre
Avery Reverend
North Coast Old Rasputin
Trappistes Rochefort 10
Dogfish Head Midas Touch
Chimay Bleu

my fridge is never without :
supplication (super local)
parabola (just bought a case of this years)
melange3
bourbon county stout
various cantillon
homebrew for days, bottles and draft0 -
Breckenridge Vanilla Porter
Flying Dog In Heat Wheat
Breckenridge Agave Wheat
Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald
Left Hand Milk Stout
These are my 5 "go tos". I can always find them when I want them and they are good sturdy beers.0 -
The only Supplication I've had was 6 years old when I drank it. It was very good. We don't get any Russian River stuff here but I'd love to try more of it. Bourbon County is sooooo freakin good. I wish I could get my hands on it often enough for it to be a regular.
Left Hand Milk Stout is one that should have been on my list. I like that one a lot. Breckenridge Vanilla Porter has been one I've been meaning to try for a while but something else always ends up catching my eye and distracting me.0 -
To be honest, I rarely have a stocked fridge. SWMBO likes beer too so I often will bring home a 6 of something we like or new to us, but it doesn't last long. Most of my regular beers come in the form of a pint glass down at my local brew pub and at my friend's house where we home brew together. (So often have a growler or two from both places in my fridge)
I do usually have a few back up bottles laying around but those are usually ones that would have been on my Top 10 list that are being saved for emergencies ;-)
Or are leftovers from the sixes I bring home. (always a changing list)
Sorry I didn't answer your question, but I just don't seem to keep stocked.
Currently I do have in the fridge...
2 Bell's Hopslam
1 Founders KBS (Don't want to drink it, but really, really want to drink it!)
Various Dogfish Head brews
Various Lakefront Brewery brews
1 3F's Zombie Dust (Going to drink that one very soon. Love that beer)
A few others can't remember at the moment....
Great! Thanks sjohnny... Now I'm thirsty! ;-)0 -
Budweiser
Two Brothers Domaine DuPage
Leinenkugels Summer Shandy (lemonade beer, it's summertime!)
Goose Island 3120 -
Wife likes to keep Yuengling on-hand, I like to make sure there's some Lancaster Milk Stout. We also try to keep some ciders around, like Woodhuck or Angry Orchard, and there's ALWAYS my homebrew available!
Right now however I probably have close to 30 different beers in-stock, not incuding homebrews... (And there's probably 10 different homebrews, too!)0 -
The only thing that is always in my fridge is homebrew. Other than that I usually have a partial case of something or other. Beer doesn't last long at my house.0

My taste is for bitters and old ales so I keep no beer in the fridge unless I get some some Belgian beers in.0
