I've been a West Coast IPA guy for about 10 years now, and I can't see that changing anytime soon.

I do go through a bit of an Imperial Stout phase during the winter though.

I can't stand lagers and pils anymore. Even the the craft stuff.

Ales only please.

I do love me some Tank 7 from Boulevard, but that seems to get me banned when I drink it.

Discuss.

I like it all as long as it doesn't have Bud, Miller, or Coors on the label ( I do like some other things they produce like ziegenbach and third shift)

IPAs have risen in my book but I'll still take a XX most days of the week. Rahr and sons is a recently on the top list.

If they sold yeung leung west of the Mississippi I'd make it my regular.

Stouts. I love the winter months because most seasonals tend to be stouts.

Before I quit I drank several styles, but Shiner Black Lager was my favorite followed by Shiner Blonde. If forced to drink one of the large breweries offerings it was Coors Original followed by Budweiser.

IPA's or Double IPA's are normally my go to regardless of the season. Right now my go to is Crown Valley Gunslinger, but I just found out the distributor for my craft beer store I regular is gonna quit getting Crown Valley.

That said on a hot summer day on the beach or by the pool I like a good heffy.

Love stouts. Especially coffee stouts and porters. Not a huge fan of pilsner's.

Best beer I've ever had -- by a long way -- is Weissbier in the biergardens in Munich. I never asked for a brand. Just a Weissbeir (wheat beer).

I have looked for it for 20 years in the USA and it's similar, but definitely not the same. Most of the German Weissbiers imported here are bottled. And they kind they serve in the beirgardens in southern Germany are all draft.

I have never been able to duplicate it. One day, if I have the time and money, I will go back to Munich Octoberfest and recreate that trip.

Sorry, I drink too much for fancy IPAs and skunky foreign beer. Bud Lite, Miller Lite or Old Mill.

I pretty much only drink IPAs or any variation thereof. I will usually drink some dark beers in the winter...I really like scotch ales or a good porter in those situations.

Stouts.. Best beer I have ever had was Canadian Breakfast Stout. It's rather rare for a beer, so try it if you ever come across it.

Whatever's closest or whatever someone else is buying. I'm not particular. I'll drink anything in the beer department.

Similar story for me, I was in the Navy on a Det to Austraila for two weeks with a P-3 squadron.

This is back in '99, way before I knew what good beer tasted like. One of the guys from the Royal Navy we were working with took us to a proper Aussie pub and kept ordering Killkenny Irish Cream Ale for us.

I haven't been the same since.

That was the moment I realized real beer wasn't like the Natty Light I'd been swilling on at SMSU.

Give me an IPA during the summer and a cream or milk stout in the winter and I'm one happy camper.

Bell's Two Hearted or Ballast Point Sculpin are my favorite IPAs while Souther Tier Choklat and Cigar City Moat Water are my favorite stouts.

Session IPAs are my go to right now. Living in Alabama that pretty much means Founders All Day IPA or the current Sam Adams session IPA. Either way, I love a sub-5% ABV IPA...

I prefer Belgian Dubbels & Tripels. Chimay Blue, DT, Golden Draak, Duvel, St. Bernardus, et al.

For American Craft......Ommegang makes good beer. The Hefe from Sweetwater isn't a terrible take on the German version. Bell's Double Hearted Ale is really good and kinda hoppy.
