Not come across pirters before 
For me it varies through the year. In the winter a dark (e.g. a Porter) or amber ale goes down well. In summer I favour the lighter more hoppy styles of ale.

I like all styles except maybe some lagers and rauchbiers - I really don't like rauchbier :-@
Pales and ipas, unfortunately might be a bit of a common choice but modern hops can't be ignored!
Oh, and anything by Mikkeller, his 'out there' style is always interesting.

I don't have a fav style and since home brewing am enjoying discovering more..
IPAs and PAs are many varieties seem a staple for me though, but making AG Stout and Saison is opening the door up a bit now..

For me its IPA, however will be doing to APA's soon
im loving wheat beer just now ( just had long weekend in berlin) but usually a lager or pilsner drinker. i like trying to get more flavour into a lager whilst keeping them light and "clean". to be honest im not keen on ales or anything served warmer or flat.

I love my stouts but also many other styles but the reason that brought me to home brewing was a dark lager I had in Prague.

Dark ales, light ales, stout, wanna be lagers. I've enjoyed all the beers I've brewed and the variety.

Not a great fan of Stouts to be honest but I do brew just about everything else. Favorite would have to be IPA's

I'm old school, I love English and Scotch ales, ambers, browns, rubys.... Making me thirsty this.
I was a lager boy
it needs to be an exceptional lager before that stuff passes my lips again :nono:
anything else is fair game from sour to wheat - biere de guard to RIS. :grin:

Yep, I'm with Gareth. Super-hoppy, nice and citrussy, and mainly not too malty. Ah, but I do a very nice malty bitter with only English hops. Lots of them dry, though. And, I'm working on a very malty brew indeed, darkened with crystal and chocolate malts - but loads of hops (can't leave them alone....... :) )
Like Graz, it seems to be "Light coloured in summer" (Bitter and PA's and almost all low alcohol) and "Dark coloured in winter." (mainly Milds).
Year round I occasionally brew a kit lager for a bedridden mate and even drink it myself if said mate decides he doesn't like the taste of a particular brand, like now with Youngs Harvest Lager. (Which I think it tastes okay and I don't normally like lager; so maybe that's a clue as to why Mike doesn't like it ?!?!)

I've just brewed my first AG batch of Hull melon hop IPA it's a single hop brew that's come out at abv 6%. I was told I had to wait 6 weeks till opening the first bottle. Don't know if I can wait that long

I love almost all beers except run of the mill "british" lagers which are tasteless waste of a clean glass. Mainly drink hoppy IPAs but branching out with AG to try and taste every hop out there. Just made a Cornish Tin Miners Ale with Bramling cross and am liking the blackberry background...mind you it needs another few weeks conditioning before it is ready - thank God for lent so I can stock up as I don't drink for that time and so my beers get conditioned properly for a change!

Not at all! :)
You might have to wait 6 weeks until the beer's at it's best but, hey, you've just got to keep at least a weekly check on the carbonation!
It's called quality control, a cornerstone of proper modern management :thumb:
