Winter beer: dark like the season. |

Most breweries offer winter brews this time of year, which are usually darker and spicier than the other choices. These seasonal beers appeal to a lot of drinkers, however, some stick with the same brand all year 'round.
How about you? Do you switch your beers choice based on the season, or is it always the same brands for you regardless of the weather?
Sound-off! Tell us more about your wintertime beer consumption.
My beer intake changes with the season. In the winter, I like stouts or porters. The darker, heavier beers complement the way I'm feeling during this timeframe. Bring on the Guinness, East Side Dark, Sam Adam's Winter Lager, Leinenkugels' Fireside Nut Brown or any of the other wintery brews.
My beer intake is the same during all of the seasons. I like what I like whether I'm sweating bullets or trapped in a blizzard. Call me a creature of habit, but I really don't switch up my beer choices very much. I might enjoy an occasional winter beer, but only as a novelty.

I enjoy a nice nut brown ale in the winter and wheat beers in the summer.

Of course! My entire eating habits change as well, and hearty beef stew just goes perfectly with a Sam Adams winter ale, just as pumpkin pie is perfect with a Lakefront Oktoberfest, or any Octoberfest beer! Seasonal beers really excite me as an enthusiastic beer drinker.

I enjoy micro-brews/imports that consist of heavier bodies, in the winter. In the summer, I just drink Miller Lite. It doesn't fill you up and is refreshing. The darker beers in the winter are tastier and are ideal for cold winter nights. Especially with crack rock.

I switch up with the seasons. I enjoy a darker beer throughout winter but as soon as spring and summer rolls around, I am all for some of the lighter lagers.

Mine changes. Stouts and Porters are much more satisfying to me in the winter than on 80 degree summer days. Summer brews range from the American-style pilsners and weiss beers. I love Guiness, but a Guiness on the golf course in July just wouldn't taste right.
