    So with spring nearly upon us, what are some year-round beers that you tend to lean more towards than usual in the spring? For me, I get a craving for 60 min and 90 min. How about you? What are some of your personal "seasonals" in the spring, summer, fall, or winter.

    I have said this many times before but in today's modern world of climate control there is no wrong time to drink any beer. Just put on the air or heat and drink what tickles your fancy.

    Springtime is usually a lot of Budweiser while ...Mowing, opening the pool, spring cleaning (inside and out), painting and anything else the wife see's that needs done. God I hate spring.

    IPA's, pale ales, lagers, pilsners are nice in Spring. I usually just stick to seasonal beers from breweries mostly (winter warmer/stouts in winter, octoberfest in autumn, etc).

    hefeweizens in the summer for sure. But i do agree that summer brings out a lot more situations where budweiser is the best plan of action.

    When springtime hits, I start looking for lager - apparently in all the wrong places since Glissade is no longer.:slight_frown:

    Sours and Saisons and even more IPAs. I tend to just drink anything that looks good at the time and new releases I see on shelves.
