Does anyone drink only one style of beer?

I'm a seasonal guy, with stouts, porters and here's, but IPAs/DIPAs are year round

 

I would hope not. Everything gets old after a while.

 

When I first got the epiphany of I/IPA's I went into a major hophead mode. I was traditionally a Stout/ Porter kind of guy until I had a really well made DIPA. Lagunita's Sucks to be exact. Now it's more like 50% I/IPA's 25% Stouts and Porters 15% Sours and Farmhouse Ales 10% Something new to my palate.

Over the last 12 months, I have become a seasonal drinker. But, I/IPA's still get the majority of my fan fare.

 

With all the hype behind Yuengling, I'm going to start drinking only that whale.

 

Haha...Crossing Threads?

 

Definitely not.

 

I only drink good beer

 

I drink all styles and prefer the well made ones from nearly any style out there.

 

if there arent atleast 3 styles represented in my fridge at anytime, then its time to go shopping.

most of what i choose to drink is based on food so i cant be held down by one style if im trying to find a nice pairing

 

For me it totally depends on the time of of the year. I good majority of what I drink are IPA's and it's my go-to style. However during the warmer months I'm usually have SN Pale Ale, GI 312 Wheat Ale, Shandy's, Founders All day IPA and the like. Fall time I'm searching after pumpkin ales and Oktoberfests. Winter, I love SN Celebration, Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout, SN Bigfoot, Founders Breakfast Stout, Great Divide Hibernation Ale, etc. Spring time I dig Bocks, Pale ales and the occasional stout to fight off the cold spring nights.

 

There´s a beer for every mood, every dish and every weather, drinking just one style is missing a lot of great beer experiences.

 

That's the thing, there are so many Pale/IPA/DIPAs out there that one has no chance of trying them all. Thus, I don't feel limited at all in sticking with them.

I may indeed be crazy but I just don't enjoy other styles the way I enjoy an IPA, and I would certainly be crazy to spend money on stuff I feel is just OK when I could be drinking something I love.

 

I grew up where there was basically only mild and bitter (pale ale).Where I lived there were two excellent breweries making the stuff and part of the joy of travelling around the country was to discover the local brews.There was also a small bottled beer range, Brown Ale, Barley Wine but who drank bottled beer when there were good pubs? Also Guinness of course.
But we never grew tired of it. Night after night it was off to the pub for a few pints and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Then of course new brews started to appear and beer style choice widened.But to this day I find other beers all very interesting and nice for the occasional pint but I wouldn't want to drink them each and every night.The exception is Stouts/Porters. I still seek out good old fashioned mild and bitter when buying and could still quite happily drink nothing else if I had to.

 

I too would encourage you to try more but, on the other hand, there are some guys who go through life only drinking one BRAND of beer. If my girlfriend's dad still isn't tired of PBR after 35 years of drinking nothing but, odds are you'll survive on IPAs alone.

According to BA I have tried 80 different styles. There were only a handful that I didn't like and wouldn't seek out again - and most of those styles are barely represented on shelves anyway.

 

I just checked the fridge while getting some iced coffee out for the morning... Captains daughter, SOS, ghandi bot, sculpin and grapefruit sculpin, stone enjoy by, Maine brewing Weez... Looks like I'm an ipa guy, but holy hell I'm not going to add up what the addiction is costing me! I need to stop collecting more and drink what I have.

 

I drink anything I haven't had before. I'm not racist.

 

I definitely favour Pale Ales/IPA's but they only make up about half of what I drink. I'm a big proponent of trying new things (including beers) and I try not to limit myself to one particular style.
