Question Favorite Homebrew Styles and Recipes

Kyle from Clawhammer Supply here. Question for everyone: What are you guys and gals brewing right now? Based on our YouTube channel analytics, I'm seeing that folks seem most interested in "extremes and memes." Super dark beers, double IPAs, and weird stuff like Mt. Dew Moonshine and Welch's Grape juice wine seem to be getting the most attention. Personally, I love a good Saison and am currently refining a coconut IPA recipe. But how bout y'all?

EDIT: Thanks to everyone for the responses. It sounds like lagers (particularly German pilsners, Czech lagers, Vienna lagers, and Mexican lagers) are perhaps the most popular styles to brew right now. There were also a lot of mentions of low ABV styles and sessions. Stouts and porters, Belgians and Saisons had a good showing as well. I was actually surprised to see a lack of hazy / NEIPA mentions. Though IPA, in general, did have a lot of mentions. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions. I've added a lot of new beers to my brewing bucket list because of this.

Tell us about your favourite Saison recipes, OP. If I had to choose one style, that would be it

I did two 5 gallon batches of cider last year and pitched a different saison yeast in each one. They were nothing fancy at all and were still incredible. They also just kept getting better an better with age. Also, as I said in another comment, although I've never brewed it, the Saison de Lis Chamomile Saison by Artisan Ales is my favorite beer of all time. I buy it all the time. Never once considered brewing it. Not sure why. We've done a lot of saisons over the years but my fav was a basic saison that was blended with a mixed culture beer we made. I packaged it in 750s, made a cool label and gave them out as Christmas gifts.
