Wow, where to start. I usually don't drink while fishing, except when I'm on someone else's boat, fishing for "fun". Then if the beer's icy cold, anything's good. As far as a favorite brand or style, that's tough. Not a big fan of the mass produced stuff as it's too bland for me. I lean towards microbrews and smaller volume imports. I love drinking seasonal stuff. You know, various Octoberfests and pumpkin ales during the fall, winter beers like Harpoon Winter Warmer and Sierra Nevada Celebration, etc. I gotta say I love just about everything from Southampton Ales & Lagers. It doesn't hurt that I live close enough to their brewpub to get everything off the tap as it comes out

(a must stop off on the way back from Montauk)

. I like most of the stuff from Sam Adams, Harpoon, and Stone (some wicked good IPAs). Lately, I've been drinking a lot of Grimmbergen (Blonde and Double). Variety is good. Hmm... getting thirsty now. Gotta go
