    ales

  10. Sandra GarciaMonday, September 26th, 2011 — 11:26am PDT

    I have a palate more for chocolate than beer, so the only ones I can drink are the Framboise Lambics.

  11. NicoleMonday, September 26th, 2011 — 11:27am PDT

    I enjoy dark, strong, full bodied beers like Back Hand of God stout.

  12. LaurenMonday, September 26th, 2011 — 11:28am PDT

    Name a lager and I love it!

  13. JenniMonday, September 26th, 2011 — 11:38am PDT

    I love Westvleteren brewed in a small Belgian monastery. Only 60,000 cases produced this year, limited to one case per buyer and I got my hands a bottle of it!

  14. RaiaMonday, September 26th, 2011 — 11:42am PDT

    Lager!

  15. TaylorMonday, September 26th, 2011 — 11:46am PDT

    Right now a proper German rauchbier would hit the spot

  16. Erin KMonday, September 26th, 2011 — 12:07pm PDT

    Mega hoppy IPA’s!

  17. lindsayMonday, September 26th, 2011 — 12:14pm PDT

    I really enjoy Wheat Ales!

  23. Derek CMonday, September 26th, 2011 — 2:06pm PDT

    Usually a good pale ale for me.

  24. ShannonMonday, September 26th, 2011 — 2:07pm PDT

    I would love to go! probably going anyways, but would very much enjoy a complementary entry.

    I like a Lager, plain old me.

  25. Meg WMonday, September 26th, 2011 — 2:11pm PDT

  28. Don ForanMonday, September 26th, 2011 — 2:51pm PDT

    Porters and stouts for sure!

  32. TeresaMonday, September 26th, 2011 — 5:51pm PDT

    Root beer. Tehe.

  33. JaneMonday, September 26th, 2011 — 6:09pm PDT

    I like sweet, flavored, and light ones. I had strawberry beer before, it was great.

  34. FayMonday, September 26th, 2011 — 7:13pm PDT

    I love wheat ales, especially Whistler Brewery’s Weissbier – local and a cute marmot on the bottle!

  35. loriMonday, September 26th, 2011 — 8:44pm PDT

    pale ale for sure 🙂

  36. ChrisMonday, September 26th, 2011 — 9:42pm PDT

    I.P.A. No. Doubt. About. It. Especially in the fall. Mmmm.

  37. Michelle W.Monday, September 26th, 2011 — 10:06pm PDT

    Porters and stouts. The darker, the better!

  38. KevinMonday, September 26th, 2011 — 10:55pm PDT

    Stout all the way.

    Gotta be ale!

  40. Jessica R.FTuesday, September 27th, 2011 — 9:15am PDT

    A dark and smooth porter, without a doubt! Especially if it’s Phillip’s Longboat Chocolate Porter. Goes down so smooth it should be a crime.

  41. BrittTuesday, September 27th, 2011 — 9:25am PDT

    Pumpkin ale!

  42. NancyTuesday, September 27th, 2011 — 9:57am PDT

  48. ConradTuesday, September 27th, 2011 — 4:06pm PDT

    I like the British version of a pale ale.

  49. AmyTuesday, September 27th, 2011 — 4:19pm PDT

    Amber ale!

  50. EricaTuesday, September 27th, 2011 — 9:05pm PDT

    Definitely an ale!

  51. Ashton ByrneTuesday, September 27th, 2011 — 9:37pm PDT

    To be specific, I love Honey Lagers. Honey Lagers have the crispness and freshness that you expect from a lager BUT have a refreshing finish of honey. To be honest I really like the Granville Island Honey Lager, everything else lacks the balance I look for in the beer style.

  52. KinseySSWednesday, September 28th, 2011 — 7:33am PDT

    I still enjoy a Wheat beer with a slice of orange, there’s just something refreshing about drinking an ice cold hefeweizen.

  53. BernadetteWednesday, September 28th, 2011 — 10:13am PDT

    Honey lagers are my fave! Definitely love my beer!

  54. RubyWednesday, September 28th, 2011 — 10:43am PDT

    Ale!

  56. BrentWednesday, September 28th, 2011 — 5:28pm PDT

    Love a strong barleywine, but my favourite are India Pale Ales.

  57. MaiWednesday, September 28th, 2011 — 5:29pm PDT

    I like hefeweizen!

  58. belindaWednesday, September 28th, 2011 — 7:54pm PDT

    Oktoberfestbier / Märzen

  59. TracyWednesday, September 28th, 2011 — 9:28pm PDT

  64. JillThursday, September 29th, 2011 — 4:23pm PDT

    Wheat ales and unibroue beers! My husband is German but is on a beer diet. He would totally make an exception for this.

  65. ChrisThursday, September 29th, 2011 — 4:54pm PDT

    I love a Imperial IPA

  66. JoanneFriday, September 30th, 2011 — 1:01am PDT

  82. RobbinTuesday, October 4th, 2011 — 7:19pm PDT

    There is almost no such thing as a beer I won’t enjoy on SOME level, but hefeweizen seems to be my beer of choice this season.

  83. KarenWednesday, October 5th, 2011 — 4:08pm PDT

    My favourite type of beer is Belgian Abbey ale.

  84. DebbieWednesday, October 5th, 2011 — 9:43pm PDT

    probably sounds really lame but I love a cold Corona with a fresh lime

  85. Sydney GregoireThursday, October 6th, 2011 — 12:58pm PDT

    I’ll have a Pale Ale please

  86. KarenFriday, October 7th, 2011 — 10:37am PDT
