    If anyone could figure out how to incorporate cumin, peaches, and coconut and make it taste just right and like "old" times, I'm buying!

    Cans of Pivo Pils are going to give those a run for the money for me this year.

    Also: Anchor California Lager, when I don't want a hoppy beer.

    Victory Summer Love is a superb beer for summer.
    Damn it was a rough winter in the Northeast. Cheers mates.

    I had no idea Pivo was going to be in cans, that's a yes for me also. Havent seen Anchor in cans around here, closest Ive had is that Chris Robinson/Anchor "collaboration" which was very close to the lager. Dry hopped they called it.......

    I haven't seen it yet myself (Pivo), but did see Union Jack and Easy Jack last weekend. The guys at the shop said that those were the first volley, but Pivo should be coming soon.

    My only complaint is that the packs don't seem to have a 'canned on' date- so how do you know without opening one up?

    Every summer I fall in love with German beers all over again. To name the best: Weihenstephan Hefe, Ayinger Brau Weiss, Schneider & Sohn Wiesen Edel-Weisse, Weihenstephan Original and Hacker-Pschorr Munich Gold

    Aside from Germany I really love SN Summer fest, Victory Helles, Nebraska EOS Hefe, North Coast Scrimshaw (this stuff is criminally underrated IMO)

    Not too particular: a good saison/farmhouse, heffe or APA.

    Augustiner Helles dispensed from a wood keg. Too bad I live in Minnesota.

    Love many of the beers already mentioned. I'll add Schell's Hefeweizen as one of my favorites.

    I'm not sure if you're looking for the best beer to drink in the summer or what a favorite summer release is (I'm guessing the latter)...I like Anderson Valley Summer Solstice and for some reason that stupid Porch Rocker from Sam Adams really hits the spot after yard work, and it's reasonably priced...And S/N Summerfest

    Lots of good ones mentioned already.

    One of my favorite variety cases for summer is from Stoudts. Their Pils and Helles are exceptional, and the pale ale and ESB round it out nicely.

    I also greatly enjoyed the gimmicky Sly Fox Helles cans.

    +1 to Harpoon's Summer. Surprised it's not rated higher on here.

    Can't wait to try AV Summer Solstice because I've recently gotten into Cream Ales.
