Ale
I drink about 1-2 per month anymore, so I probably shouldn't get a vote. The truth is that when I feel like a beer, just about anything will do.
-
Lager
Lager. I do like darker ales and stouts but only occasionally. But I'll drink a Czech Pilsner all day everyday
Jeremiah Johnson makes a killer vanilla porter. -
Lager
Don't get me wrong, I love ales, but I can't imagine a summertime with out lager. I just doesn't work.
And I drink a lot more bourbon than the ale snobs here so I can always go that route when something darker and stronger is needed.

Lager
I burned out on the “faggy” IPAs, and now lean either bourbon or tequila. Had a Bodi a couple weeks ago and was, “Now I remember why I drank this”…my taste buds had been rehabbed. Agree, hot weather = lager…

Ale
Sours, lambics, pale ales, and lighter Belgians are all excellent in the summer and are often 5% or lower abv.
Waaaaaay more variety on the ale side of things.
-
Lager
Australia has way better variety of sub 5% pale ale than the US. Truly fantastic stuff at like 4.5% give or take. Even then, if I'm on 6 to 10 session beers type of Saturday, I'd still rather have Coors Banquet or Pacifico/Modello. Or the finest German or Czech Pils.

Lager
Rainier has been my go to for a long time, lately I usually start off w/ a couple Modelo Cheladas. If I'm feeling fancy I'll grab some Georgetown Roger's Pils or Sapporo.
I think I drank too much IPA for several years cuz I got way burned out on it. My gut just can't handle drinking those all day and night anymore. I'll grab some Pale Ale every now and again though.
I dig a nice stout in the rainy season as well. -
Lager
I make a fucking killer michelada from scratch.
Modello
lime juice
Clamato
Dimitri's Bloody Mary Seasoing
Tapatillo Hot Sauce

Lager
Good chit. I need to try that one. I have yet to replicate the Modelo formula, but whatever they put in there is magical. Especially when you're hungover and need to get back on track.

Do we get to keep the mixed style beers, specifically Kolsch?

Yes.

Hefeweizen was the one that put me on the ale side.

Pale Lagers! I used to have beer parties as a kid and since I had worked at a tavern that featured beers of the world I had fun wit the blind taste test we always had with 12 beers from around the world + the local beers to challenge peoples perceptions of what their “favorite beer” actually was.
The idea was to announce to the crowd what the tester’s favorite beer(s) were and then listen to hear what they actually thought as they blind tasted ~ often describing their fav beer as rainwater / cow piss to the delight of the crowd.
Hands down the consistent winners were Canadian and Mexican Pale Lagers… biggest losers were the Euro Pilsners and wacko warm ale’s

If a silver bullet is a lager then it’s a no brainer. I’m on 17 right now

Silver Bullet is sex on a boat i.e. fucking close to water

I’m going to London next month. I love drinking all them warm, flat cask ales. I’m serious.

Lager
If I have to worry about the diabeetus and overall health then Lagers.
If I don't, then Ales.
Reality wins

Lager
I died last Saturday night from dinking too many fucking 7% IPAs. FML.
I would have been fine drinking 5% lagers.

Pick up a 24 can variety pack from Kona next tim.

Bruh, Long Board Lager is a Lager and their best beer.
-
Ale
It's not close to their best beer, and the rest of that pack will be ales, pal.
-
Lager
Yikes. Bad take. Longboard Lager is not good.
Big Wave Golden Ale is clearly their best. -
Lager
Longboard Lager not good? Christ. Fucking dweeb 'round here.
I like the Golden Ale fine. It's a good summer time ale.
-
Ale
Yeah, no shit. Keep up the nisquallity content, per usual.
-
Ale
Oatmeal stout and a good Porter - no flavoring keep the coffee and chocolate at the coffee shops
I use them as an appetizer
Irish Death and Black Butte are consistently good. I know to stop at one if I be driving
Modelo Negra is pretty damn good too
Edit: where do Malt Liquors fall on that chart?

In a paper sack with your buddies after the big game against crosstown rival hoping the cops don’t show up and make you pour it out.

I will take a Kona Big Wave or one of their season pale ales over any macro lager on that planet.
