Need to choose a 1/6 commercial keg to sit beside 2 home brewed kegs. It has to be a sanke a type keg (typical American) so can not be an import. The homebrew on tap is a hefe and a pale ale.

Leaning schlafly kolsch but not sure yet. Just finished off a winter lager.

Ideas?

You like Stouts/Porters? LH Milk Stout is a good one in the winter for me.

I have the specialty grains already bagged for when I brew this month. I do several beer recipes at a time so I can open and reseal up my grain and not do it repeatedly.

You already have a couple lighter "summertime" beers. I'd go something darker, like a brown as in Moose drool or maybe a scottish porter or wee heavy. Nothing like liquid comfort food on a cold evening.

Lh milk could be a go.

Moose drool is always raved about and is good but for some reason it doesn't grab me

I just went through 2 kegs of Bobs 47, an amber ale, and a wheat. I think I need a change up. Leaning freestate ad astra, council oak brown, or oatmeal stout.

A boulevard Pisner would be an odd change for me though....

Freestate is under my radar, so I looked it up.

When a brewery doesn't say what style they are brewing a beer to, I tend to avoid it.

Ad Astra falls into that category.

"We've blended Pale, Caramel, and Munich malts for a rich amber beer. The hops balance this malty sweetness, and we've chosen Northern brewer and Fuggles hops for their flavor"

WTF. Is it an amber ale? then say so. With that description, it might as well be in one of those cans that is just labeled Beer.

Every other beer on their site has its description, why not this one...

If those were in my kegerator, I'd probably stick one of the following between them :

(in no particular order)

Deschutes Black Butte Porter

Rogue Shakespeare Oatmeal Stout

Sudwerk Pilsner

I think its an alt beir. It is their flagship and its ok. some go ga ga over it. I don't. I like their John Brown Ale when it's out as well as their mai bok sp?

They are a decent brewery.

The more I think about it the more I'm thinking Schlafly Kolsch or even Pilsnet for a crisper change of pace.

I need to get a german tap and go fransikaner dunkel... later on that.

Sudwerk Pilsner. Never had it. Don't even know if I can get it here. Scrimshaw pilsner could work too. I wish I could get three floyds
