Favorite Spring Beers

When will it be hitting the shelves?? I need to ask my brother in WI to pick up some for me!

 

Supposedly, it is the Thumbprint (4 Pack) release for May, so any day now. I also heard June, but I'm really hoping it's this month.

 

I'm also in NY but on Long Island, where weekend temps are only going to be around 70. I'll take it.
I've got a 12-pack of Tröegs Cultivator and some Boulevard Tank 7 to greet the warm weather and intersperse with the heavier stuff I've got left over from winter (stout, brown ale, wee heavy).

 

All of my favorite "spring" beers are already starting to disappear, and Spring has barely started.

I really like Tröegs Cultivator.

 

Ommegang Fleur De Houblon

 

Schlafly - American IPA
Sierra Nevada - Summer Fest
Victory - Kirsch Gose
Saison Dupont
Prairie - Birra (If I can actually find it)

 

I think it is a nice all year round beer...if it were made as one.

 

I know that they are both available year round but I like to drink Bocks in the Spring.

 

I don't know what you all are talking about. I'm already onto pumpkin beers and oktoberfests. Gotta stay ahead of the masses

 

i need a good spring/summer high abv beer.havent really bought craft beer in a while and was thinkin about pickin up a 6 pack soon

 

Anderson Valley Spring Hornin' - can't say much about their other brews, but this one hits the spot.

i was thinkin about buyin this but i dont know.it seems like it would be really sweet and i dont really like beers that are really sweet plus its founders and i dont know.i usually buy founders alot and was lookin for somethin different

 

Since it's in my picture, I suppose Pranqster is a pretty moneh spring beer.

 

Nice suggestion. I'm enjoying a 4 pack of Le Merle that's very good but perhaps too boozy for the style. I had their petite saison, Puck, at the brewery last summer. Saw it in bottles only once around here so probably hard for anyone outside of CA to see it.

 

Come warmer weather I'm starting to move more heavily into DIPAs, IPAs, Lambics and Gueuze. Don't get me wrong, I'll still have enough BA Stouts and BA Barleywines around to hold me over until Black Friday. :-)

 

I had Le Merle a while back and remember really enjoying it. It seems like a lot of brewers are making higher ABV saisons (comparatively). I definitely liked it more than Rabbid Rabbit and Tank 7, but my preferences with saisons seems to change every year...not sure why, but it does.
