Seasonal beer choices

As it becomes warmer here in Pennsylvania I have been enjoying a lot of Landshark and Coors Light during the times I am outside enjoying the sunshine. Where during the long Pennsylvania winters I lean more towards a darker and heavier beer. Do most beer drinkers change their beers depending on the season. Or do you stick to your favorite beer all year long. Let me know your thoughts on this highly important matter. Lol.

I'd say liking lighter beers in summer and heavier beers in winter isn't unusual. Some might even venture it's more traditional. Some of the local pubs here will carry seasonal offerings on tap, which I may or may not drink. In fall, it's Oktoberfest. Over the winter, one was Sam Adams Winter Lager. I like both of those. They reformulated the Winter Lager and I like it a lot better than I used to.

Right now, it's Summer Shandy which isn't a fave for me., although I had a few the other night Personally, I pretty much have my standard session beer I drink all year.

@BrewCityBarfly I'm not a fan of the way to many pumpkin options in the fall. I don't want pumpkin flavored beer any day of the year.

@strictdadhusbandanduncleinpa Agree, never quite understood that one, and I'm okay with pumpkin pie. Sometimes they go too far. with the flavors. Once had a dark beer with black licorice flavor, and you could smell it on a person 6 feet away. Some people loved it, I thought it was disgusting. I'll just take a straight up beer.
