What's your favorite beer style?

[ReaperOnefour]

Hello all. How are you guys doing? I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. Well it's saturday night, im just kicking back sipping on this mosaic ipa that i brewed a ways back. My wife is watching some dumb ass LMN movie (as usual) I was thinking about brewing my favorite beer style next. Which is a westcoast red ale. I thought it would be cool if i asked what is your favorite beer style?

 

[RM-MN]

I really like a nice wheat beer....and a pale ale...and a robust porter and an amber and a stout and .....but the one I most often brew is a pale ale because I can change the flavor so easily by changing out the dry hops.

 

[grampamark]

Free. Tie for 2nd between cold and open.

 

[NewJersey]

West coast IPA for me.

What is west coast red ale?

 

[Jeff...]

German that adhere to Reinheitsgebot for me with Bocks being my absolute favorites.

 

[ReaperOnefour]

I make my red ale with a caramel flavor, & I pile on the hops. I even dry hop with 2 ounces of Cascade.

 

[ReaperOnefour]

West coast ipa's are good too.

 

[gunhaus]

There are only TWO kinds of beer: Outta Beer. And Next Beer. I am more partial to the later.

 

[ReaperOnefour]

Next beer is always better.

 

[Dog House Brew]

Kolsch, Saison, IPA, Triple

 

[ReaperOnefour]

These are all great beers.

 

[rburrelli]

Too many great styles for me to choose. I am still exploring styles as well. I seem to like most of them.

I'm trying this beer from Firestone Walker right now. It's called delicious IPA. It's really good. I've never had this beer before. Usually I buy Sierra Nevada or voodoo ranger when i don't have any of my own beer to drink. Clearly I'm going to have to add this beer to my list.

Trappist/Abbey. Living in europe and (before this month) easy holidays into france, Belgium etc where even standard supermarkets sell it very cheaply makes it very attractive.

I thought Delicious IPA was made by Stone?

My favorite beer is not compliant with any quantifiable and delineated "style", but rather is in and of itself a unique style. Fullers ESB.

 

[danielthemaniel]

Too many to choose one but some of my favorites include:

Hoppy Red Ales
Marzen
Kolsch
Irish Red Ale
IPA
Hefeweizen
ESB

My second favorite beer suffers from this exact same fate. Great Lakes Eliot Ness Lager.

 

[ReaperOnefour]

You're right. It is stone. My mistake.

 

[cubalz]

German Lagers. ANY of them.

 

[ReaperOnefour]

Nice.

 

[Sailingeric]

Saison/ belguims, which seems kind of hard to find in the stores recently. Last year there were several local breweries doing saison of some kind but I am not sure what happened.

 

[coonmanx]

I'm drinking Newcastle Brown Ale right now and it is actually a mix of two different beers. I love English Ales. The funny thing is I am 7/8 German and 1/8 English but somehow when it comes to beer the English side of me wins.

I really enjoyed the batch of Old Peculiar clone that I recently did.

 

[Immocles]

I feel like I could list a dozen styles and still forget a favorite. My favorites constantly change but I will always come back to a centennial hopped American IPA, and copper/dark German lagers.

 

[Gnomebrewer]

Flanders red ales. Ask again in an hour and I might give a different answer.

 

[VTX1300]

I am HopHead so any Hoppy beer. In my fermenter right now is a Ruination clone that should be ready to keg tomorrow. My house ale is a Mosaic / Maris Otter SMaSH IPA.

 

[Sebastian Weetabix]

Whichever warm beer I am holding.

Remember that old Elvis song?
I Love Only One Girl

 

[mrdauber64]

West Coast Red Ales, Schwarzbier, Cream Ales and American Pales Ales. I don't brew enough of those styles, but I should!

 

[ReaperOnefour]

New Castle is a good beer too. You know I never use to like hoppy beers, until I started home brewing. I use to drink Budweiser all the time. (Sorry beer gods, forgive me I didn't know what I was doing.) Now I can't stand Budweiser.

I can still drink a cold Bud on a hot day. I don't do IPAs. For me, the hops need to be in balance with the malt and by definition an IPA does not do that. Oh well. By this time in my life I have probably drank around 1,000 or more different beers. Has anyone ever heard of San Miguel from the Phillipines? I used to love the San Miguel Dark. Also Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout is delicious and complex.
