    I cant stand the heat. Especially when I'm doing more work and much less play. I also dont care for Summer beer season, as I can find plenty of IPAs, Wits, Wheats, Sours, Lagers, etc, during the whole year. And looking at release calendars I'm reminded that despite much angst by some, Fall beers will roll out in a couple of very short weeks. I am already curious who will release what for their sample packs and stand alone seasonals.

    Fall, on the other hand, will bring an explosion of styles I cannot find now. Not to mention the pleasant crisp weather! So who is ready for Fall beers? I know I am.

    I always look forward to when the Fall beers come out. It means that instead of going to the store and finding 495 IPAs and 5 other beers to choose from, suddenly I can go to the store and find 490 IPAs and 10 other beers to choose from.

    Definitely part of the reason I'm looking forward to those Fall beers in a couple weeks.

    I know man, but they start releasing those Fall beers about 4 weeks into Summer nowadays. I'm still down with the weissbiers though!

    I personally don't care for the fall beer season, most of the beers are malt bombs and I prefer hoppier beers. For that matter, I also don't care that much for the summer beer season. I find most of the beers to be too watery and light and one dimensional. I know there's exceptions to be had, just neither are my favorite seasons. For the most part, I'm not driven by what's seasonably trendy and I just drink what I like all year long with disregard as to whether it's seasonable or not.

    Marzen yes here. I'm lucky the local brew pub has a Marzen on tap all year.

    Keep rubbin' it in. :angry::wink: (I actually like the return of Oktoberfest beers, the anticipation makes it more special)

    I saw H-P & Paulaner Amber-Märzen on shelves a couple weeks back. Best by April, 2018. :rolling_eyes:

    Looking forward to the SN-Weihenstephan collab and COLLEGE football. I'm always up for a Maerzen or a good pumpkin beer. So, yes. And the NFL can go piss up a rope AFAIC.

    Sick of this summer heat already. Not a fan of summer beers either. I love fall weather and especially fall beers so I vote yes but I hate that we get fall beers earlier and earlier every year.

    My body is ready. Bring on the Pumpkin Ales & Marzen's.

    I can actually drink most styles regardless of the weather (though, it is a factor is the decision sometimes, and I do actually hate the hot weather), so I could probably say this about whatever style whenever.

    I fully expect to see Pumpkin Ale in Norfolk next to last week of July, if not earlier
