Just curious, I thought about all the different beers I like, and the majority are Lagers.

Cheers,

    If you are a fan of sassafrass , you need to try birch beer if you haven't already. Similar to root beer, but with a little more 'wood' taste and bite.

    Mighty tasty.

    'round these parts, you can get blue birch, red birch, and regular clear birch beer.... it's all good stuff, and yes, it does all taste different. I think my favorite is blue birch.
    Ludicrous gibs!

    I voted for ESB/Bitter, because I love the English-style Ales, but hey...they all have their place. In my fridge and in my belly. The only beer style I can think of that I generally don't dig are the Lambics. Just don't like a lot fruitiness in my beer.

    Lagers are about the only beers that I drink. Lapin Kulta, Sapporo, Warsteiner, Beck's, Pilsner Urquell. Nothing with a twist cap.

    Right now I love the Smirnoff Twisted beers. The Black Cherry and Raspberry are delicious! I hate the taste of alcohol but these taste like sodas, with 6% alcohol!

    Couple of months ago I went to a happy hour for a friend's B'Day. The bar we go to has a variety of beers, about 25-30 different ones. So I decided I was going to try each one. My "taste test" backfired because the next day I couldn't remember which ones I liked...:D

    What's wrong with a twist cap? just makes beer access faster and easier...

    We're talking what you drink MOST, what you like BEST.

    If you could only have one 'style', whadd'le it be?

    There is a Rogue brewery about 5 minutes from my house. Hands down the best beer on the whole I have ever tasted.

    Diamond Knot makes a phenomenal IPA. For anyone who digs the IPA stuff, if you can find it (unlikely unless you are in the Seattle area) you will like it very much.

    Stouts/Porters/Dark ales preferably around 50-55 degrees. I love heavy beers. I'm not too into lagers and can't stand pilsners.

    My favorites:

    1. McEwans Scottish Ale
    2. Anything by Samuel Smith's
    3. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
