What are you drinking and loving? I need some brewing ideas!

What's up guys? I've brewed A LOT in the past year, and don't have really that many styles that I haven't made. I've got a $100 AustinHomebrew.com gift card in my pocket, and it's burning a dang hole straight through my leg. I'm thinking I'm going to make a berry wheat, but other than that, I don't know what I want to make.

Ideas? Suggestions?

Also, I want to make a oak brown ale, but does that sound very good?

Thanks,
Jacob

Currently enjoying a case of Magic Hat #9's. I think AHB has a clone kit that sounds downright fantastic.

Holy crap, where do I start. I swear to god I have so many recipes on the "to-brew" list that I rarely know where to begin. My next two beers are:

Pumpkin Ale - https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f76/samhain-pumpkin-ale-140674/
and a
Christmas Ale - https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f78/holiday-spiced-ale-89603/

Both of those need a bit of time to age, so they will be ready come Halloween and Thanksgiving. Also, since Winter is Coming,

Choconut Porter - https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f126/choconut-porter-54159/
and
Caramel Cream Ale - https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/caramel-cream-ale-2435/index49.html#post398005

They are all amazing recipes and will get you through the winter in one piece.

depends on what kind of beer you like to drink? I like guiness and just made a great recipie through midwest supplies... If I had that gift card I would search what that company has for a good irish stout kit... Or a good pale ale, cream ale, haha I could go on for days... Whatever you end up getting I'm sure it will be good!

Make a Imperial Oaked Brown ale to keep you warm for the winter !

I recently rediscovered Anchor Steam. Great beer. Just brewed a man-sized batch. My first beer with Northern Brewer hops.

I've got a Maris Otter/Cascade SMaSH on tap to brew this weekend. Then my porter. Not sure after that. Maybe a nice IPA before the porter.. then the porter will be nice and ready for winter.

Over the summer I've enjoyed my Oatmeal Chocolate Stout, Orfy's Northern English Mild and Orange Cascades APA. Those also seem to be visitors top 3 favorite also.

A hunnerd' bones could make you one hell of a barley wine!
.... or a Pliny clone, IIPA, RIS or about 50 gallons of a light american lager

I recently tasted my first Kolsch (reissdorf) and really liked it! Great for these hot summer days. I'll probably end up brewing some of that eventually

I love the imperial brown idea, but if it got that big, I'd prob just brew a barley wine with a couple of oz of french oak cubes in the secondary for a few months.

I like all styles btw, but since houston summers are hot and long, Ive been drinking light hybrid beers/wheats for the past few months, so I dont really want any more of those styles. I'm brewing the berry wheat or blonde b/c I like to keep an easy drinking beer on tap for everyone.

Saison (brewed June 12). Probably going to brew another batch (or two) of Saison this weekend.

Austin Homebrews Belgian White!!!!!

I will vote for Cheesefood's caramel cream ale. Very quick and simple extract recipe and damn good. Give it a shot, you will not be disappointed.

Green Chilie Pale Ale

What about a Vanilla porter. I been wanting to make one.

I've been on a wit kick lately, both for what I'm brewing and what I'm drinking.

Lagunita's A Lil' Sumpin' Sumpin'... It's a extremely delicious, easy drinking pale wheat beer with a ton of late kettle American hop additions and possibly dry hopped (not sure about that one). A very bright, crisp, and drinkable beer. It's south of IPA in bitterness, but the hoppiness is north of pale ale with a fair amount of wheat in the base.

Just discovered Flying Fish's Walloanian Rye. I'm loving it. I searched it out in between my grandfather's two wakes this week since I was in Jersey. I've been looking at Rye recipes ever since!

Good suggestions, keep em coming. I haven't made my decision yet, but I'm thinking of doing 10 gallons of Jamil's blonde ale (5 with some fruit and 5 dry hopped with a couple of oz of home grown cascades) and 5 gallons of jamils Northern Brown Ale, but I'll oak it for a month or so. With that said, I still have more money to brew with, so I need some ideas!

I've brewed 2 kolsch's this summer with ingredients for one more to go. Can't get enough of this style lately. It's great when it is hot outside.

I live where "red or green" (chile) is the state question but I still can't get past putting green chile into beer.
