I prefer nice cold refreshing macro brewed beers (
that's where the real parties at right?). Nothing like sipping on an ice cold can of Natti Ice from a wino bag on a warm summer day
(although to be honest I haven't actually sported any wino bag around my can lately but who knows rent aint cheap).
However, I don't think variation hurts. While I don't feel great about it, I have spent a lot of hard earned cash on some of the monastery brewed (trappist ales) Belgium styled beers lately. I highly recommend looking for a bottle of Rochefort or Westmalle. Both are top rated beers meant to be drunk out of a special glass (although I just use a cheap cocktail one).
