    Sours. I have almost no experience with them aside from a few.

    1- Chardonnay Barrel Aged beers. Although I have recently purchased 'The Tide And Its Takers' by Anchorage, I have only ever had 'Hop God (aka: HopAnomaly) aged in Chardonnay Barrels,' 'Bitter Monk' (Anchorage), and 'White Monkey' (Victory)...that is my history and would also rank them in that order (best->last)...the barrel character is absolutely outrageous, yet lends its flavors to warmer weather.
    2- Belgian Dubbels
    3- Smoked Beers

    Belgian IPA's. Waiting patiently for Sixpoint's Abigale to hit shelves.

    Munich Dunkels- mostly because I don't see any around these days.

    I drink alot of everything. But, I don't like sours.
    I wish I drank more Imported beers. Sometimes its a gamble on them. Hell even their cheap swill is not half bad.

    In the winter I should drink more Belgian dark ales, and in the summer I should drink more pale ales like Sierra Nevada.

    Gueuze - they are so hard to come by in my area that I never want to dip into my cellar.

    As much as I talk about my dearest Rainier, I really only drink it because it isn't very feasible to keep a reliable supply of better sessionable beer in the fridge (that compounded with nostalgia for my cowboy grandfather.) I'd love to be able to drink a good English mild, brown or porter everyday; I also adore Berlinner weisses. It's just tough to keep that much of any of those things in any quantity; it's not like I can buy a flat of dark mild in Astoria, Or.

    Start with Ayinger Celebrator, but also do not underestimate the subtle beauty of the pale lagers.

    Seriously. Most popular beers that are drank in pretty much any country are pilsners. Why cant the craft industry revitalize this style. This is one style that I leave up to the germans.

    German pilsners and saisons. I see them and pass them up for something new, and often regret it

    Four I can think of:
    Doppelbocks, because there aren't that many available where I live (especially American-brewed ones, which are about as common as freaking unicorns).

    Wheatwines, because I've only had one (the only one I've ever encountered) and am intrigued by the style.

    English Dark Milds, same reasons as Wheatwines.

    Baltic Porters, because its a style I really like but rarely see, much like doppelbocks.

    Gotta add two more to my list: Kellarbiers (had exactly one in Germany years ago) and Alts (Had a few, but it's a ridiculously drinkable style that's undersold in my area).
