    Crazy Horse was my shit! To bad they don't send it this far eastward anymore.

    I LOVED Crazy Horse. I drank untold numbers of 40s of that brew in the early 90s. I thought it was long gone. I still have an empty bottle on my dresser that I keep for sentimental reasons.

    Keep that, I had a few but they went to recycling. I wish I saved a bottle. They're as rare as a Kate The Great bottle nowadays.

    Never used to understand the seasonal thing or drink stouts, for that matter. Love stouts in the winter. Last summer me and a buddy split a BCBS on his back deck. It was night time, but 85 and 100% humidity. Could barely finish 6oz. Those conditions made a great beer virtually unenjoyable.

    I wish I had a filled bottle now, it's snowing like crazy and Crazy Horse would be fitting! Cheers!

    For the most part I do ,darker, heavier, richer beers in the winter, lighter beers in the summer. I do mix it up on occasion, but nothing beats a dark Imperial Stout on a cold windy night, or a Hefewiezen on a warm evening. I've been binging on Stouts, Porters and heavier beers the last couple months, and am getting ready for some good Farmhouse Ales, IPA's and Pilsners.

    I drink seasonally what I'm forced to, Aprilhop in the Spring, Oktoberfest in the Autumn, Oberon in Summer, etc. Otherwise I drink as I please.

    I tend to go lighter and hoppier in the spring and summer and I enjoy more full-bodied styles in the fall and winter. Also, I really enjoy cold weather seasonals such as Oktoberfests, pumpkins and winter warmers

    I definitely change my beer drinking throughout the year, but it's pretty irregular and not season-based.

    Living in northwest indiana, absolutely. We get all the seasons here so I drink to every one. Stouts and barleywines taste so much better in the fall & winter. IPAs, APAs, kolschs, etc better suited for spring & summer. It may sound batshit crazy but it's the way it is. Cheers.

    I really drink whatever i'm feeling, and that is very eclectic for the most part, but in the hotter days of summer i like to sit outside and drink something "seasonal". Horny Goat's Pineapple Hefe is best for a hot day, but really any good light crisp (and quite possibly sour) beer will suit my fancy. Other than that rather specific scenario, i just go up to the shop and pick up something that sounds good.

    Sub-zero wind chills just go with stouts, quads and barleywines. I did drink part of a Dubbel today. There are some beers that work in most seasons lighter Scotch Ale, Doppelbocks, Brown ales....

    Every beer style is year round for me.

    Yes, and conversely, not at all. It's bitterly cold and windy in my neck of the woods, and I've been craving pilsners and APAs lately. Only so much stout I can drink before I get a hankering for something very different. That said, I do have some Blue Mountain Concealed Darkness in the fridge...

    I drink the styles of beer that I enjoy year round for the most part, depending on what I am in the mood for.
    I do drink seasonal releases when they are available however.

    Well, I have been taking down a bunch of Pilsners and Helles lagers lately, so I guess I'd say No.

    On the other hand, I really do enjoy seasonal releases.

    I guess I just make it all work, somehow...

    Most certainly. This is especially true during the autumn months we find, as we're crazing spicier, warmer beers after the long haul of glorious summer hoppiness.
