Ok, what's your favorite, and does it change with the seasons/weather?

I'll start-
Typically any IPA, I like the local Surly Furious
All Year Long!

    Sea Dog Brewing Company makes a Blueberry Ale that I love, but I can't only pick it up when I travel to the States.

    Normally more of a cider person.

    Should say...have had 100's and 100's of different local and micro brews over the years, and they all are on par or rise above the ones I listed, but just can't get them frequently enough.

    I upvote this. it's excellent.

    I'm an IPA guy, but just about any beer is good.

    As of right now I have a Hefeweizen fermenting below my sink :)

    Any good Pumpkin Ale in the fall, of course.

    I have to agree with this too... Alaska (the state, not brewery) has been coming up with some awesome microbreweries as of late.

    it's easier to say i don't care for really hoppy beers or the pale watery looking ones. some of my favorites are Elysian Split Shot, Breckenridge Vanilla Porter, Schofferhofer Grapefruit Hefeweizen, and Blue Moon or New Belgium Fat Tire are kind of my standbys

    I was REALLY impressed at the quality of floral hop flavor and clean lager finish. I should say, be careful though as it is a VERY easy drinker...and...well...least you down a dozen like I did last Saturday while working around the house!

    Another good drinker for that IPA only crowd.

    I agree. Very easy to drink; the 7% abv sneaks up on you. I also went through about a dozen of these last weekend while doing home maintenance. It was a good day.

    Anything from the Schell Brewery in New Ulm, MN. Pretty much anything with "Bock" in the name. Even better...Schell's Bock! It's a seasonal beer and available now. I generally like most Oktoberfest beers as well.

    I drink pretty locally. Milwaukee craft brewers are my favorite and these brews I always seem to return to time and time and again.

    If you can find it, try Spaten Oktoberfest, especially if you can find a German or Euro place that taps it. Soooooo goood.

    Weihenstephaner Dunkel and Doppelbock are my goto beers. However, I'll have maybe 1 a month or six weeks. However, I can also be very happy with a Blue Moon or Shock Top as long as it's on tap.

    Winter: Founders Breakfast Stout, Goose Island's Bourbon County Stout, any of Southern Tier's milk stout variants (Choklat, Creme Brulee)

    Summer: DuClaw's Funk, YVB's Pineapple Grenade, Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier

    I really could make a very large list of local beers that aren't distributed, too.

    If any of you guys make it to Fairbanks, Alaska. Check out Hoodoo Brewery. Some of the best tasting, smooth beers I've ever had. Unique blend of hops in their IPAs. http://www.hoodoobrew.com/on-tap/

    I also have to say, I've been enjoying Mocha Death lately.
