    Need some ideas for good summer brews and wanted BA to chime in on your favorites. (Other than Oberon) Thanks!

    Founders All Day IPA is my first choice, but the new one from Bell's, Oatsmobile, is very tasty. Arcadia's Cheap Date is pretty good too. (Hopefully you like hops if you choose any of these.)

    I second everything goose said above. Founders Palm Reader is new and pretty solid. For some non-hoppy stuff:

    Oddside Troll Toll
    Right Brain Smooth Operator
    Blackrocks Grand Rabbits

    MLive posted an article about a month ago detailing some Spring beers to check out as well. Worth a look over.

    I'm ready to obliterate many sixers of Bells Quinannan Falls when it's released this June.

    Perrin grapefruit IPA is pretty tasty and sessionable on a warm day, also Dark Horse just released a wit that looks mighty tasty!

    Perrin's No Problems is a fairly new session IPA that's not bad.

    I like having a Founders Rubaeus in the summertime.

    Black Rocks Grand Rabbits and Nordsky have been my go to's. Founders Palm Reader is pretty great. Looking forward to Shorts Hopstache and Bells Quinannan Falls. Hopefully Black Rocks will do Presque Ale again this year.

    All Day IPA all spring/summer.
    Rubaeus for sure in the summer.

    Definitely Nordskye, best Michigan made session IPA in my opinion. Also, Mosaic Promise is pretty sessionable at 5.5% ABV I believe.

    I like Right Brain Will Power better than either All Day or No Problems. I think it's got a touch more maltiness, whereas the other 2 seem like straight-up hop water. Still very light and only 4.2 abv.

    Odd Side citra pale ale can't be beat, and now that it's in cans, I'll be crushing that on the beach. I also second Incorrigible.

    Mosaic Promise is a great seasonal under 6%. Perrin Gold is a great session beer at 4.8% and in cans.

    Another vote for Mosaic Promise. One of my favorite hops.
