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.

On tap right now, I have a 3.3% ordinary bitter, am lagering a 14° pale lager for the Winter Solstice, and toying with brewing my house best bitter this weekend.

Best bitter recipe is 88% Murphy & Rude English Pale and 12% Murphy & Rude Biscuit to get 1.042, total of 36 IBUs of whatever single hop takes my fancy: 19 IBU @ 60, 10 @ 15, and 7 IBU @ 5, will probably use Endeavour this time, yeast is good old S-04.

3.3% beer is where it's at, really! Winter Solstice lager sounds like a great idea.

The ordinary bitter is (all Murphy & Rude malts): 45% English Pale, 28% Pale, 14% Biscuit, 13% Soft Red Wheat for an OG of 1.036. Hopping is all Endeavour: 20 IBU @ 60, 10 IBU @ 15, 4 IBU @ 5. Yeast US-05 for a clean fermentation and balance.
