    Just a couple of spring releases, not necessarily in any order:
    Deschutes Brewery – Red Chair NWPA
    Capital Brewery – Maibock
    Lake Louie Brewing – “The Twins” Maibock
    New Glarus Brewing – Totally Naked
    Lagunitas Brewing – Undercover Investigation Shut-down Ale
    Sprecher Brewing - Maibock
    Surly Brewing – Bitter Brewer

    In my area, Spring is basically an sloppier extension of winter (until about May) so I tend to stick with hearty beers like Stouts, Porters, Winter Warmers, etc. Since Maibocks are traditionally consumed around this time, I'm often on the lookout for good local Bocks (of which there are too few).

    Once the weather starts warming up and the remnants of the Snowpocalypse recede into nothingness, I'll typically reach for a good German Wheat Beer (Hefeweizen, Weissbier, Dunkelweizen), Pilsner, or an IPA (ISA's too). I'm not ashamed to admit that I also consume a healthy amount of Macro Lager when the weather warms up.

    Whatever floats your boat, I suppose. Cheers!

    Spring finally hit NY with temperatures in the 70-80's this weekend (never thought that would happen) and looking to stock up on some good warm weather brews.

    What are your favorite beers to drink in the spring? Let's keep these somewhat readily available.


    I plan on getting some Gnomegang by Ommegang, a Blonde Ale from NY

    I have a sixer of Ithaca's Cayuga Cruiser and one of Sierra Nevada's Summerfest in my fridge as we speak. =)

    You might want to clarify if you mean "spring seasonals" or the early summer seasonals we are currently drinking in the springtime (if not both).

    Had a daisy cutter the other day. If it was regularly available around me, I would drink this all spring and summer.

    Spring Belle by Boulevard It's a nice crisp saison
    Mama's Little Yella Pills by Oscar Blues It's a nice crisp pilsner
    Schlafly Belgian Style Golden Ale The name says it all.
    Eliza5Beth by Prairie Another crisp funky saison
    Standard by Prairie a slightly sour, funky, crisp, and dry saison
    Saison Brett by Boulevard I've been drinking the 2014 but they just released the 2015.

    Those are the ones that have been in my rotation. In my opinion nothing beats a saison after mowing the lawn.... well you don't have to mow the lawn you could just relax in the sun.

    Quite right. Well there's enough room in the boat for both and summer is right around the corner (maybe)!

    Fullsteam Cacalacky
    Westbrook Gose
    Victory Prima Pils
    Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier

    Those are also my summer beers. Its rare that we get a nice spring in NC anymore. You get a few days of nice 60's/70's then its upper 80's and 90's

    I only wish I could get Westbrook Gose for spring/summer consumption. Love that beer. Good list, love Prima too.

    I'm looking forward to the @Sixpoint Jammer Gose. How I hope it's excellent, really I need a quality Gose for the summer that I can get.
