Who doesn’t love personality quizzes – especially those that co-relate your personality to the most absurd of all things. For example, beer! Can beer styles actually relate to your personality? No. But is it fun to imagine that it does? Absolutely!
From the crisp simplicity of a lager to the bold bitterness of an IPA, every beer style has its own character. And over time, each has attracted a certain kind of fan. While these stereotypes are far from scientific, they're based on the culture that has grown around different beers.
So, if beer styles had personalities, here’s what your favorite one might say about you.
If you like the lager, you’re the reliable one.
You're not interested in chasing every new trend or standing in line for a limited-edition craft release. You like what you like, and there's something admirable about that.
Lager lovers tend to be reliable, easy-going, and mildly social. You’re probably the one organizing birthday parties and weekend plans and keeping your friend group chat alive. You'd rather enjoy a relaxed evening with friends than spend hours analyzing tasting notes.
You're practical, approachable, and believe that simple things are often the best.
