    What's the most "thirst quenching" beer style. I still love an ice cold Coors light on a hot day so I'd say AALs. But a cold Spotted Cow is wonderful too, so cream ales? What do you guys and gals think?

    A nice cold 5% amber ale is good.

    after you drink a Stella do you have the overwhelming urge to beat your wife?

    For some reason a good pilsner just hits the spot when really thirsty.

    Euro Lagers like Samuel Smith's are pretty damn thirst quenching.

    Witbier and hefeweizen are my first craft choices, and actually, according to my mantra "every beer has it's own moment" a classic AAL really fills this gap quite nicely.

    I still maintain that an ice cold PBR in a bottle after mowing the lawn on a hot summer day is a thing of genuine beauty.

    Roughly half of the Abita lineup. Not to steal Big Flats' thunder but I'm pretty sure it's the water that makes it.
