What type of beer do climbers drink? Also post what style of climbing you do, incase there is a correlation. I am no beer expert so I like to keep the categories simple.
Although I still enjoy a good pail, usually on a hot day with a lime in it, I prefer the reds, so Red gets my vote. Although, I am becoming more and more partial to the darker beers.
I climbed for years on top-rope, and then became a hard core boulderer, and now I am leaning more and more toward trad climbing. Not sure if there is a connection.

Gym climber to boulderer to rope climber of any type.
oddly enough, my beer preference has ran:
pails(to young to know....), to reds(a start in the right direction), to the darkside.

I like the Reds for sure. sometimes a wheat ale (picaroons makes a beauty one for the summer time)
I'm a trad and ice climber. but will dabble in Sport and bouldering if that is what is in front of me. But the preference is Trad for sure.

East Picaroons best Bitter
West Big Rock Trad Ale or Grasshoper if I'm on a patio in the sun.
Discovered the Tall Timber Ale from Mt Begbie brewery in Revelstoke.
Bouldering?
Ice, Alpine, Trad, Sport, ordered variously depending on mood and season.

I guess I can't vote. Coca-cola-Classic isn't listed.
Oh well. I could consider that a Dark Beer, though its not beer.

I drink Guinness and climb trad and ice.
And I do love Scotch!

I see a corelation here because I know at least three other trad and ice climbers who love scotch.
I want to go to hell... there's probably lots of rock to climb there.

Well, it looks like the boulderers have found this thread, as Pail is pulling into the lead.
I figured that there would be some lovers of other fine, well aged, beverages on this site, but I figured they would have a favourite beer too, and that is what I was interested in.
Yeah Andrew, I like Coca-Cola-Classic as well. I even picked it in a blind Pepsi taste test. Alternatively, I find that Dr. Pepper goes well with Chinese food.
