Summertime Beers

Tuesday May 30, 2006
Ah, summertime is here. I’ve put together a list of beer designed to bring some spice and flavor to the hot days ahead. There are beers for the purist and beers for the more adventurous type that doesn’t mind a few unusual spices and fruit finding their way into a brew. Check it out then let me know what your favorite summer time ales and lagers are.

Ugh. Your list. Ugh. :)

You really like Sam Adams? I didn’t care for their summer beer at all
- the
grains of paradise make this just a bit odd to me. Also, the Pyramid
Hefe
Weizen is great, but I refuse to touch the Apricot.

So, here’s another list:

O’dell’s 5 Barrel Pale Ale
Bridgeport ESB
Bridgeport IPA
Sierra Nevada Wheat
Sierra Nevada Pale
Sierra Nevada Summerfest
Goose Island Honker’s Ale
Goose Island IPA
Pyramid Hefe Weizen
North Coast Brewing Red Seal Ale

I’m tempted to try Anchor’s summer beer, but haven’t had a chance yet.
