    I enjoy many styles, but the vast majority I only drink seasonally. The exceptions, the styles I drink year-round are:
    • American IPA
    • Amber/Red
    • BSPA/Tripel

    Weizenbiers - hefeweizen, dunkelweizen, weizenbock, weissbier dunkel, Berliner weisse.
    Bocks - doppelbock, eisbock (!), plain ol' bock.
    Wee Heavy.
    Kellerbier.
    Munich Dunkel lager.
    Vienna lager.
    Belgian Strong Dark Ale / Quadrupel.
    Witbier.
    Biere de garde.
    Gose.
    Lambic / gueuze (!).
    Flanders Red and Oud Bruin.
    Rauchbier.

    From what few I've been able to get my hands on, I'd say sahti has a fair shot at becoming a favorite style as well.

    I enjoy some stouts and English barleywines, but there are enough exceptions that I can't in good faith call them favorite styles.

    I would drink piss if you put a craft beer label on it. As much as I love trying anything new, I just can't go without an IPA in the fridge.

    My favorites tend to be any non-stout that is dark, high alcohol, and very malty. This usually means barleywines, quads, strong-ales, and sometimes browns.

    Don't get me wrong, I also loooooooove stouts. But they fall into tier two along with everything else.

    I've always just preferred stouts and porters over most other styles. I have favorites in all styles, but more on the dark end of the beer spectrum.

    What are a few of your regular lagers? I've been having Hofbrau Original a lot lately since the bottles here are relatively fresh for a German import.
