What Type of Beer Are You?

Find out which beer style is compatible with your beersonality

When it comes to beer, we would be crazy to discriminate. Just bring on the perfect pint, we’re set; we’re happy campers. Beer is easy to appreciate that way—beer connoisseur or not—and it isn’t the world’s second most consumed alcoholic beverage for nothing.

But if you’re anything like us, you likely got your first sip at a house party or an impromptu inuman, where you got to familiarize yourself with beer brands before much else. Always loved the finish of a San Miguel Pale Pilsen and looking for others just like it? Fancy a Cerveza Negra, but can’t figure out why? Prefer Heineken to Hoegaarden for some reason?

It all boils down to the fundamental beer styles that govern the many things we appreciate about beer like aroma, body, color and, of course, flavor. While these types, Pale Ale, Wheat Beer, Lager and Stout, are better tasted and tried than read about, here’s another take: a beer quiz to help you you’re your beer match made in brewery heaven.

What Type of Beer Are You?

Pale Ale

When it comes to drinking, you don’t always live by “go hard or go home,” which makes you a great drinking buddy. If anything, you’re more the “here for a long time and a good time” type. You're sociable and can get along with different types of people, an asset your friends say is admirable about you.

Wheat Beer

You have a taste for the finer things in life, but you’re happy just the same with living with the essentials. In fact, you sometimes prefer it that way. You’re mysterious and prefer not to reveal too much to people you’ve only just met, but you definitely have some exciting anecdotes at the ready. Your finesse is one other thing that keeps people interested, too.

Stout

While it isn’t your intention to call attention to yourself, you do possess a certain aura, an energy about you. When you walk into a room, people take notice. Beyond first impressions, it’s not out of the ordinary for people find you charismatic, warm and somewhat enigmatic. You’re strong-willed and you have a lot of personality.

Lager

You are the epitome of mellow and laidback (why complicate the uncomplicated?) Still, you’re a pretty complex character yourself. Like lagers that come in different forms, there’s more to you than meets the eye. You’re easygoing now, but it’s taken quite the storied process of self-mastery—and loosening up—to get here.
