    I think it's pretty well established some beers are meant for careful, contemplative sipping and others are meant for gulping - they're quenching, easy drinking, refreshing, meant to be consumed en masse, etc.

    So...what's your favorite gulping beer? For me, I have to go Deschuetes Black Butte. Yes, one might not think of a porter as a gulping beer, but it's so easy to drink, so flavorful, so smooth, and low enough in ABV that I find myself killing a bottle or pint in no time. And I love it each and every time.

    Lately I have found I can really put away some Hi-Res & Todd Axe Man. Those two really disappear pretty fast.

    a table sour, in the 4-6.5% abv range. not too tart, but refreshing. at a taproom or bar you usually get an 8-12 oz pour, and it is just gone too quickly.

    I will say, Hi-Res is too easy to drink given its heft...

    Victory's Prima Pils is also often gone in the blink of an eye. Same goes for Metro's Magnetron.

    Depends what I have on tap at home. Right now, it's Allegheny IPA from Four Mile Brewing - it's so easy drinking

    I know it's a year-round offering, but it only comes to my market seasonally. Eagerly awaiting it's return.

    Oskar Blues Mama's Little Yella Pils is what first came to mind. Perfect on a hot day.

    Most recently, LIC Beer Project's NYS Sour. http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/40437/217461/
    I actually think it has a higher abv than that.
    I know it's very local, but I'll try to think of another example.

    hold up, did the Alstrom bro's just change up the layout of the beer page??

    Edit: also, i know some people find the acidity from sours to sometimes mess with their stomachs after a bunch of them, but i've never seemed to have that issue.

    Also. Grimm Purple Prose, pretty tart, but I loved swigging that down too.

    Nightshift Whirlpool, baby!!! CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG!!!

    that one's obvious, but a less obvious one: Lawson's Sip of Sunshine.... goes down way too easy, and at 8% that could end badly.

    Bell's Oberon, just too good! I try to make myself slow down and savor it but it tends to disappear quickly!
