Yeah...agreed. I think if I add up all the different kinds of stouts, they'd take the cake, but between IPAs and IIPAs, they account for nearly 13% of my ratings, and probably a much higher % of the total intake. I love me some hops!!

A bunch more than pale lagers, that's for sure. IPAS and imperials are my go to styles every summer. While I certainly mix in other styles seasonally, IPAs are pretty much my all year round brew.

Huh. I thought I'd tried that, but I must have been thinking of one of the other (awesome) lagers from the WI Beer Mafia. If I have ormaybe can get some things you might want, John, let me know.

Looks like one o those 99 pale lagers got reclassified. Sitting at 98 now, with Hannah's waitin in the wings.

We just don't tell you that at least 90 of them are pale lager.

We just don't tell you that at least 90 of them are pale lager. That's the model of a couple of Toronto's better known beer bars. For years, one them advertised 250 beers from around the world. And 150 of them were your pale lager/blonde ale from places like South Korea (Hite), Kenya (Tusker)etc which sounded exotic at the time, but after 50 or so, wasn't as interesting. But it was close to work and I managed to get through all of them.

love the mentality of this man! gonna see what i can do. might be able to find you the current #1 ranked pale lager on rb..

Sweet! I had Hannah's Horny Toad, which is most likely the 2nd best pale lager I've had.

Suds has done it! (disclaimer: while I'm happy to report he nailed it, I in no way inflated my score on this beer because it was a trade) [:D] Hops & Grain The One They Call Zoe is THE ONE. As far as pale lagers go anyway. Immediately even with Shift and quickly outpaced my personal former #1. Nice brew, regardless of style. Thanks, bro. Zoe scored nearly double my average score for the style, possibly unprecedented. He also sent me the 3rd or 4th best Kolsch I've ever had.
