Favorite Beer Season

Summer. Sun goes down the latest. And I'm personally slightly tired of 10%+ abv beers. Maybe it is the summer, maybe not.

Splitting beer with friends is fun, but sometimes it is just nice to enjoy a regular full pour and not get knocked down too much.

 

Going to have to go with winter since that is when Short's provides us with Cup of Joe.

 

Fall (Sept , Oct , Nov)

cause of local seasonal release Driftwood 'Sartori Harvest IPA'

also any Pumpkin Beer is welcome during harvest ,

& The entire month of October is 'Craft BEER Month' in BC

 

Fall and Winter give me a lot of big beers, which I love!

I used to hate Summer as far as Beer releases go, but since the Session IPA boom, I'm liking it a lot better!

 

Fall-Winter. Nothing better than relaxing infront of the TV watching glorious Football action, cracking a huge beer, and ordering pizza. Who says I need to leave my place today?

 

I am a fall/winter guy. Stout's are my preferred style. Although I do love other styles.

 

I voted Fall, but I love Christmas ales in Winter too . I'm generally okay with every season except Spring.

 

With the announcement of Sierra Nevada's Fall Variety Pack, I suddenly find myself with awash with a melancholy craving for Sierra Nevada Tumbler. In honor, a haiku:

Fall is Tumbler brown
brown colors, brown flavors, crisp
both season and beer

 

Autumn all the way! Although, you could have removed "Beer" and replaced it with just about anything (or nothing) and my answer would still have been the same.

Even the polling question "Favorite Christmas Season?" would likely get the same response. Besides, Fall is when the decorations land at the stores anyway.

 

Nothing like a good summer beer that lends itself to days outside fishing, hiking, camping, boating, etc...

 

My favourite beer season is Spring because I can play catch up with everything I've gathered over the Summer, Fall and Winter.

 

Fall for me. summer beers are still around and sometimes refreshing. fall seasonals and oktoberfests are out. and can dig into some darker porters and stouts. all depends on the weather and here in chicago it can be 80 or 40 in the fall...so u never know.

 

For drinking beer, in no particular order from 1-Jan, I like Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. If there were 5 seasons, then that one would have made the list too.

 

It was close between fall and winter. I am definitely a hop head. So is it strange that I love my Octoberfests and pumpkins?

 

I chose fall, thats my favorite season for releases and I always look forward to drinking more Heavier beers to warm up with on a cool day.

But I also really enjoy summer as well.

 

I've got to give it to winter because there's nothing better than sipping on a high abv stout with snow coming down outside, watching a hockey game on tv.

 

Fall. Beer+Football; a match made in heaven.

 

Winter. Imperials stout scenarios abound that I don't normally go to that often much of the other months.

 

I was pondering today as I bought a 6 pack of pumpkin beer, a 6 pack of stout, multiple bombers of winter hard cider, and inquired about available wet hop beers which beer season is my favorite. I came to the conclusion that the fall season is certainly mine. I am a big fan of pumpkin beers, a huge fan of wet hopped beers, and believe that a good porter/stout or cider tastes the best with a little chill in the air. It also allows you to enjoy stronger/darker/imperial beverages as the weather is more appropriate.

I would love to know what everyone else thinks. Remember, there is no wrong answer! To each their own!
