Summers and summer alternatives

Narragansett Summer Ale and Brooklyn Summer Ale seem to be my go to summer/golf brews

 

Southern Tier Hop Sun and Narragansett Summer Ale are my faves.

 

Only if you learn to home brew. Saisons are simple, and you can make five gallons for around $20.

 

How have I not seen this yet?! Can't wait to try it!

 

I stopped by my local beer distributor yesterday and they had Wildeman there. I asked the beer dude: when did you start getting Wildeman? He replied: about a month.

So, Wildeman is a spanking new beer.

Cheers!

P.S. Another new beer from Flying Dog is UnderDog Atlantic Lager. The beer dude stated that it is a tasty American Pale Lager.

 

Enjoy Celis White while you can...Michigan Brewing Co closed their doors last week. No word yet on what will happen going forward.
On a side note, I love sour and tart in the summer. Sometimes I go lighter like a Golden Cap, Saison Dupont or Blanche de Bruxelles; other times I want intense and I reach for Oro de Calabaza, Oude Beersel Gueuze, or Rodenbach

 

Where do you find Founders in your neck of the woods ?

 

I live in michigan most of the year. I now see how this could be misinterpreted.

 

OK, bring me some next time you come home. I live in GI

 

brooklyn summer in cans is phenomenal, im also quite fond of pollenator from long trail and last year i really loved one from peak organic that was brewed with honey, i really thought it was phenomenal but now i cant find it on the site anywhere. anyone else know what im talking bout?

 

I've been enjoying the 'Gansett Cream Ale, it'll be in my fridge all summer.

 

Also NEBCO's Elm City Lager is a tasty summer choice

 

hofbrau original is a solid choice as well.

 

I have my fingers crossed for the new Sam Adams Porch Rocker that should be hitting the shelves soon, so I hear...

 

Get yo'sef some of this stuff...

If I get the chance I'll drink one especially on a hot day. The Shock Top Lemon Shandy was refreshing and at 4.2%abv. is ideal for hot weather. I didn't like it too much because the lemon flavor over powered the wheat and it was too acidic.

 

I'm currently on a saison kick.
Saison Du Pont
Bruery Saison Du Lente
Bruery Saison Rue
Lost Abbey Carnivale
Lost Abbey Red Barn
Brooklyn Sorachi Ace
Goose Island Sophie
Sierra Nevada Ovila Saison
Epic Brewing Elder Brett Saison
Jolly Pumpkin does some great ones as well, as well as Stillwater. Don't know what you get down there but hopefully you can find at least a few of these.

 

“My vote is Cellar Door.” I have had a number of different Saison beers from Stillwater. They were all excellent.

Brian Stillwater is an exceptional brewer.

Cheers!
