    I chose light. Can you ask this question again say around Octoberish? My answer might change by then.

    Would be a tough decision but I would go for dark beers.

    Definitely dark, as some black rye PAs and black saisons would cure any remorse from that decision, except for sours. We'd need a lot more darker sours, like Blue Mountain Barrel House's Sour Banshee, but not like the Brooklyn collaboration Wild Horse Porter.

    Easily dark. It would be emotionally disturbing to know I could never have another BA Stout. That alone decides it.

    Depends on the day but I do tend to gravitate to the darker side of brewing.

    Since you can't choose both, I went with Light. Most of my favourite styles are in the light range but I don't think I could live without stouts and porters.

    I seem to drink more light beers as well but once again, I have a special place in my heart for dark beers as well.

    Totally dark for me. Can't live without those Belgian quad and Doppelbock or eisbock!

    I love coffee, bourbon, and chocolate too much to give up dark beers. It's all my vices wrapped into one.

    Stouts are my clear favorite style. But so much more variety with a light beer, especially with my new found love for a Berliner or a Sour.

    I think I have to go with light just for variety and summer refreshment.

    this question makes me feel so dirty for betraying one or the other.
