Beer Batter Question

[Bakemehappy]

What kind of beer do you prefer to use when making your own beer batter? Is pale ale better than dark beer? Or do you have another suggestion as to what type of beer to use? I need to hear from those who have tried using beer in their batter and had good results.

I am not one of those who tried the beer batter. I actually never heard about it until now. I am more used to Guinness recipes as @classic33 can testify to. I've used recipes from the site below. I don't know if it will be useful to you.

It really doesn't matter! Even a cheap lager will work.

I much prefer something with taste to it, so for me it has to be a dark ale or stout!
