I will capitalize it if I feel like it, in a forum post or a facebook status or something sure but just chatting with someone or texting I won't. I say it depends on the formality of the medium

Some have Capitalized ON beer styles ...and the not part was Billy Beer... even that couldn't make people really drink it.

I just took a quick look at Brewing Classic Styles and the styles aren't capatilized unless there is a proper name as part of the styles name.
i .e..One style that some people like is American pale ale. Some beer drinkers don't care for pale ale.

I wonder why CaraMunich has the C and M in capitals?

Maybe because Munich is a proper noun?

All y'all are just down right nasty. Talking about Poopy Clowns. That just smells of road apples.

Hummm... Road Apples... Road Apple Cider?
