    Hard to beat Woodman's prices. Haven't had JetStream yet but the other two are nicely, refreshing lagers. Perfect for the summer.

    Yeah, I'd say that all 4 of the Von Trapp normies qualify for this thread. Personally I think the Vienna is the standout of the bunch, although I bypassed it today in favor of the Dunkel (just wanted something a bit different to dovetail with the JA 12 pack I also bought).

    I could go for some Florida Cracker. It is one of my wife's favorites.

    Has to be a cheap drinkable lager. Summertime in Oregon means camping. And tonight I am camping just below the Santiam Pass I'm a forest beside a lake. So high up it has cell service.

    I always buy Founders 15 packs which cost 13.99-15.99 depending if they are on sale or not. All Day IPA is always in my fridge and is summer crushable. I don’t care for their Pils, but can’t wait for Mosaic Promise due in August.

    Well someone already broke down the math on 12 packs, so here goes. Was at the local grocery and going thru all the beer options and nothing jumped out. Then I saw a mixed 12 pack of 4 IPAs from Real Ale for $14.99, had to jump on that. It isn't going to last long, contains Squirt Gun, Fresh Kicks, Lost Gold & Axis. 2 hazys and 2 old school and all between 6 and 7%.

    JA's Shipping Out of Boston is one of my favorite beers released this year. Happy to see it's now a year rounder

    Jackie O’s Razz Wheat. It’s nothing special, but does hit the spot once in a while.

    Found this Lithuanian Grapefruit Beer at Fairway for $6.99 for a four pack of 16 oz. Might be a tad too sweet for some but is a great summer beer with a nice kick (7.5 ABV) [​IMG]

    I actually found it pretty special. Pretty much everything I've had from Jackie O's out of can (all styles), has been very good to great. Not a single miss I think. And fact they still do 12oz cans/sixers at reasonable price is icing on the cake.

    I have to say I can't think of a better summer beer than Oberon. I know it doesn't have citrus added but I had to look it up to know for sure.

    A new iteration does. I love Mango so it may be pretty good:

    I'm not usually the biggest amber fan and I've even bought a few 12 packs of this. It's a bit lighter and crisper than what I usually associate with the style. A great year round addition indeed.
