Gluten-free beer (I'm allergic), hard cider, single malt (especially the peaty medicinal ones), bourbon, gin, and all sorts of cocktails. Mmm.

Heady Topper veddy good.
An interesting beer I've tried lately is Fuller's ESB. It's not commonly available here, AFAIK.

As for me, I would say often.
But never when riding.

My normal drink of choice is Sobieski vodka and grapefruit juice, but since my latest job change (and drop in pay) I've gone back to a 30 pack of Busch light....

Homebrew Mead, or a decent Scotch on occasion. I've been known to partake in a beer every now and then as well.

Ok, I'll stick to Adult! First are German pilsners and helles (Hofbrau Haus, Ottakring, and Bavarian and Westphalian beers), next Belgian-style lagers like Flat Tire, Affligem, and Stella Artois - the very similar Fuller's London Pride goes in that bin. After that, big darks like Guiness and other stouts. I'm not crazy about IPA or anything that has a bitterness rating. I think there also needs to be a grapefruit rating, so I can know what I'm gonna hate before I pay $10 for a 6-pack.
Local microbrews or mesobrews: Bell's -1, Ann Arbor Brewing +2, Atwater +1, Wolverine between +1 and -1.
I need to give new/oldies like Schlitz and PBR another try. I recall most US beers used to taste like German pilsners, and I miss that. Maybe I need to move back to the land of Bud, Miller, Oly, and Augsburger.
Opinions on Blue Moon? For some reason I cannot understand my German expatriate colleagues love it. They just say, "Vell, it's gut!"
Forgot whisky! Glenmorangie, Bowmore (skye, I think), and Laphroig. For whiskey, it's Old Grandad's - still finishing up my dad's leftover whiskeys.
Edit, it's now August!
Spent 5 weeks in Germany for work since writing what's above. My taste for Pilsner has increased, taking over from Fat Tire and Stella Artois. Still like the stouts, and New Belgium Ranger. There's at least one decent American Pilsner, from Frankenmuth Brewing in Frankenmuth, MI. Nearly the same taste and snap as the Westphalian local ones, like Warsteiner, but not quite. I also re-tried basic Budweiser (yeah with the Clydesdales!), and it tries to be a Pils but not quite.
This Fall we'll start making cider/Scotch toddies again. Need to find a decent but cheap Scotch for that, neighbor recommends Lauder's. Mrs. RF likes those with bourbon, Very Old Barton.

I brew my own... right now I'm enjoying my Best Bitter.... its OK because I'm sick and its for medicinal purposes.
I brew mostly English styles, American Pale Ales & Ambers, German Lagers... darker brews during the holidays & winter.
I also make hard cider and mead.
IMHO, Long Trail Limbo IPA is every bit as good a double IPA as Heady Topper

T&T in the summertime.
I'm not big on beer, but I did enjoy der Zoigl. Interesting beer from small towns in Bavaria - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoigl
And I'll have the occasional Belgian strong ale.

Lately I've been imbibing Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA. I love the 90 Minutes stuff but sometimes it's just too thick when i want something more watery.
