    This year will be Session IPAs. I've been
    drinking them as of late and love the clean/crisp
    slightly hoppy taste. Also like the lower ABV
    aspect as well. Will go down really nice during
    those hot summer days.

    Also might knock down some Rolling Rock nips
    and some PBRs for sure.

    I used to like the Hefeweizens in summer, but I now find them a bit too sweet and heavy, so I'll order a few cases of this instead:

    Nightshift's Whirlpool, Jack's Abby Leisure Time Lager and a variety of good 'ole heffes. New for this summer - Notch's Infinte Jest. 4.3%, a little hoppy, smooth and so drinkable. For the most part stouts and porters take a back seat.

    A good PBR tallboy and a Coors Original gets the job done for me in the Summer.

    Kronenbourg Blanc! Beer 961 Pale Ale - though I can no longer buy it here.

    From the craft scene Feral Sly Fox and Mountain Goat Summer Ale. Neither would typically be my style of beer, but if I'm with people, they're both guaranteed people pleasers.

    Plus the Mountain Goat is in cans!

    I have a few, but these come to mind:

    Founder's All Day IPA
    Victory DirtWolf
    Yuengling Summer Wheat
    Stone Go To IPA Pounders (When they come out they will be at the top of my list)
    Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat
    Bell's Oberon
    Shocktop

    That list went on longer than I thought it would

    I shave with a Valerian blade myself. Or dragon glass in a pinch.

    What? You said summer right?

    Seriously though - Boat, Summer Love, Easy Jack, Avery Perzik are some.

    Edit - recently tried Great South Bay's Blonde Ambition and really enjoyed it.
