Already had Sam Adam's Summer Ale and Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy so far. Yuengling is making a Summer Wheat this year. Can't wait to try it. How about you?

I liked the Sam Cold Snap this year that was the "spring" beer (it's only just barely recognizable as spring here).
I'm a big fan of Adirondack Bear Naked Ale. It's full and dark enough for winter...but just enough sweetness that it works well in warmer months too.

Still haven't finished off my Sam Adams Oktoberfest.
I'm a little slow......

I've turned into something of a beer snob. If it isn't Red Stripe or Harp, it has to be Belgian Monk beer…

Back in MI the
Two Hearted Ale is finishing up.
Oberon should be on the taps by now. I really miss the beer culture up there...

IPAs of all sorts. There are other kinds of beer?

I loves me some IPA. I tried Sam Adams Rebel IPA recently, not bad, but not a favorite.
I really like some of Sam Adams other IPAs, and I eat at one sports bar type place mostly to drink Longhammer IPA.

If you find yourself in central TX (I lived in College Station from 2011-2013), Karbach Brewing's Hoppadillo IPA is excellent.
I love Stone Ruination IPA, but it's kind of spendy.

Which reminds me. It's about time to stock the beer locker. There's a beer store down from the house that sells various and sundry specialty beers. I take advantage of the odd breakages, and get partial six-packs that were broken inadvertently. I'll go in there a couple of times a year and build a case or two of odd-lots.
Of course, I always keep some Coors Light for the uninitiated, and a six pack of Sam Adams Boston Lager, just because. Blue Moon is a constant favorite, as is our local Abita beer.

Looking at some of the response, I would remind everyone that the question was regarding beer.
I do not like to drink the same thing for too long in a row, so I only drink a 6 pack or 12 pack of something and then get something else the next time. The last few rotations in no particular order:
DAB lager (Dortmunder Actien Brauerei)
Grolsch lager
Pilser Urquell
St Pauli Girl (dunkel)
Spaten Optimator (doppelbock)
Warsteiner (lager and dunkel)
Schaeffly Pils
