Well, it’s not my favorite... but it’s pretty tasty.

Changes by the season. If I'm smoking now, it's going to be a couple nice IPA's before switching to something domestic so I make it through my cook. As it gets cooler I may switch to a nice Maker's on the rocks to keep me warm.

I like IPAs just fine, not while cooking on the smoker and not more than 2 in a row. They are just too heavy of a beer and don't go well with BBQ. I gravitate toward pilsners or lagers while cooking on the smoker and after eating maybe a bourbon or two. On a long cook strong beers can result in bad BBQ from a drunken cook!

More time to drink beer.
It's an essential safety factor. Ice Cold Beer held over a burn is BBQ First Aid.

+1 At couple of times I had smokes that lasted ALOT longer than I planned and kept saying "one more beer" and that did not end well. I'm trashed, meat in the stall nowhere near done, and hours past bedtime. Good times... Most times I don't smoke when I drink SonnyE SonnyE
