For those who partake, what beers have you been enjoying lately and what style are they?

In the spirit of the whiskey thread I wanted to do the same for beer. What’s the style of the evening or week?
I just returned from Indianapolis and IPAs definitely dominate the taps. I’ll drink most anything but I’m much more of a wheat guy, myself. Hoegaarden and Weihenstephaner are my go-to’s!

    Tonight's an Ecliptic Phaser IPA evening. Ecliptic is my favorite local brewery here in Portland, although I admit it's largely because I like beer with space ships on the cans.

    I've been drinking Sky Kraken Hazy Pale Ale by Fremont Brewing. Has a reasonable IBU and a drinkable 5.5 alc/vol.

    I’ve been trying non alcoholic beer recently and it’s got a lot better! Heineken zero (0.05%) is pretty good

      So I got into NA beers a while back to drink during the week to satisfy an “itch” without actually drinking. There are some amazing choices out there! “Athletic” is tasty but also just as expensive as craft beer. That’s the only thing I see wrong.

        For me it’s about drinking something that is neither sweet or caffeinated/hot. Such limited options for that these days other than non alcoholic beer.

    My favorite brewery is Other Half and they have a location right up the street from me so that's basically all I've been enjoying. I've tried, but I just can't find a better NEIPA

    I've been loving these lighter kolsh style beers from a place called Utepils up in Minnesota, really good for the hot weather

    I’ve been exploring hoppy beers and coffee stouts for years but I’ve lost the zest for that recently.

    My favorite beer right now is probably M43 by Old Nation - an NEIPA
