I'm more of a fan of lighter beers myself, as well. I like darker beers (stouts here and there, coffee porters are amazing), but only on occasion. My two top favorites are Shocktop and Leinenkugel.^^Really? I'm a big fan of many lighter colored beers. It depends on the occasion. If I'm having a salty meal, and want a thirst quencher, lighter beers are usually better for that sort of situation. If I'm eating a meal with very strong flavors, or drinking a beer without food, a darker beer might be appropriate.
Recently, my buddy turned me onto a brewery here in Orange County of SoCal called Bootlegger's Brewery. He had me pick up this stuff:
It's supposed to taste a bit like apple pie. I've yet to try it out. Probably will when I get home tonight.
