Styles I'm most interested in

(Reference for BIFs and extras and such)


IPA's of all kinds. English, American, Double/Imperial, etc.

"Strong Ale." A catch-all category for stuff too interesting to pin down to one style. :)

Any stout/porter without a prominent anise/licorice flavor, nor a overly strong smoke character.

Wheatwine

Barleywine. English in particular, but Americans can also be quite tasty. :)

Old Ale

Farmhouse Ales

Traditional Lambics - That is, NOT sweetened post-fermentation
(gueuze, kriek, unblended, framboise, etc., etc.)

Any Trappist/Abbey ales

Flanders ales (Reds, Browns, Oud Bruin, etc.)

Oh hell, pretty much anything Belgian besides witbiers. :·p

Certain Wild Ales - I don't care for the abrasive tartness of American Wilds (like Supplication, Veritas, Consecration, etc), but I love the funk found [mostly] in imports (like Cantillon Iris, 3F Oude Gueuze, Cuvee Rene, Bambic, Goudenband, etc).

Traditional English styles (Milds, Bitters, etc.)

Berliner Weissbier

Dunkelweizen

Gose

Roggenbier

Weizenbock

Doppelbock

Eisbock

Kellerbier/Zwickelbier

Scottish Ales (60/-, 70/-, 80/-, 90/-, whatever/-, etc.)

Uncommon historical/traditional styles (Gruit ales, Dampfbier, Graetzer, Kentucky Common, etc.)

And finally: They're quite few and far between, but I really love beers that represent subtle styles but still manage to be complex and interesting. A really well done Kölsch, for example, is a beautiful thing.
