What's your favorite climbing beer?

Oskar Blues Can-o-bliss IPA in the blue can. The absolute best.

Pfriem IPA is good.

Avery IPA and/or Avery Hazyish IPA

Any Fort George's IPAs except Vortex, which is meh.

In the dog days of summer, Sierra Nevada's Otra Vez (I think it's a Gose)

A well earned Melvin 2x4

Consider anything by the breweries that sponsor your local climbing events.  Those are the ones giving back to climbing.
IE: I organized shows & trail work days around Boulder, and the only question Avery ever seems to ask about the free beer they send is how much do I think that the patrons might possibly drink.
On my watch alone, we've collected about $7k this year in donations at the beer tables for the LCO's.
Naturally, I prefer to buy their products when I am in line to pay at the store.  

I hope that this becomes part of the equation when climbers are checking out beer, shoes, ropes, etc...

I used to like drinking IPAs and Pale Ales - Surly Overrated, New Glarus Moon Man, Odell Drumroll, Toppling Goliath PseudoSue, Summit Saga, Bell’s Two Hearted, Fair State Pahlay, etc.

My palate changed a few years ago and now I mostly drink pale lagers, preferably a crisp, hoppy pils. Not an IPL though, as I prefer continental European hops over fruity American hops in a pale lager.

My favorite sending suds are:
Fair State Pils (disclaimer - I work there) and Surly Hell (kinda hop forward for a helles) are my go-tos. Surly #Merica (discontinued) was also incredible. Sierra Nevada Sierraveza. Firestone Walker Pivo Pils (if I can find a fresh enough 6pk here in MN). New Glarus Spotted Cow is good for WI climbing, although I prefer something a bit more crispy with bigger hop aroma and bitterness. Fair State just released an American adjunct lager (collaboration with Modern Times out of San Diego) called Crankin’ Foamers in 12pk/12oz cans. Perfect for crushing.

I also really like Hefeweizens, Witbiers, and Saisons. Definitely has to be in a can.

I absolutely hate most kettle sours, but I wish I didn’t. Pretty damn refreshing.

f loyd this is righteous good stuff. you should try Thor's Equinox by Odin Brewery. Not a huge fan of their other beers, but the Thor is great.

Rainier all day!

Lately....

Moab FMU Double IPA

or

10 Barrel Pub Beer Lager

keep the glass away from the crag and drink from the can. 

Ice cold delirium tremens on a summer day, but I must say, theres nothing more comforting than a hearty stout in the local pub of a mountain town

Shit forgot to say. Mine is Oskar Blues, Dales Pale Ale. Lyons, Colorado. The true beginning of real beer!!!!

Whenever the holy grail of all wonderful IPA brews has been found and acquired.....I highly enjoy a Pliny the Elder or Blind Pig IPA from Russian River Brewing after climbing. Otherwise, It's a Stone Delicious IPA or PBR.

I used to love Dale's, but then began to find it....average.  It's been a while. Time to give it another try.
