Light Approachable styles

I'd start with Kolsch, Pils and Helles Lagers

 

Anchor Steam Beer

 

My solution is to stock some Coors because I grew tired of finishing their beers.

 

Lagers, Pilsners, maybe even a Pale Ale that isn't too hoppy

 

I have a friend with similar drinking habits to your brother. Liked that euro stuff, didn't want to go on with the IPAs and PAs. I got him into Coffee Porters/Stouts. Sometimes going way left field is good. Make him be like, "beer can taste like this?"

 

It's the right time of year for summer wheat beers. If you are in SoCal, I'll recommend Bell's Oberon. (I'm not sure how much of SoCal get's Bell's products, but it should be easy to find in that area.) And if you are in SoCal, it's summer year-round there and this beer probably is also.

 

Witbiers and hefe's

 

Plenty of good suggestions so far. Let me chime in and say: Kolsch.

I drank a homebrewed Kolsch earlier this evening after doing some yard work. That beer was perfect for a warm/hot summer evening.

Cheers!

 

SN nooner and summerfest and FW pivo pils are good/easy options in CA and damn refreshing

 

A good Cream Ale if you can find one, Pivo, Trumer Pilsner, Primo Pils, Sixpoint Crisp, Boulevard Wheat, Oberon..

 

Yes hefeweizen style, and to be specific, Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier. <<<mic drop>>>

 

Anchor Steam and California Lager both should do well.

 

You want the premium lager, the german style pilsner and the blonde ale.

 

I might be missing the point since I know you mentioned pils but what about the proclaimed "hoppy pils" that are becoming so popular...FireStone Pivo, Victory Prima, etc...

Does he have interest in something like a Gose??? I understand it's a little less approachable but low ABV and absurdly delicious for this time of year.

 

It sounds like you could broaden your horizons as much as your brother. Explore with him. There's a lot of great beer out that's not hoppy. Plenty of good beers/styles were already suggested.

 

Go with something with low bitterness and is somewhat sweet, such as a cherry wheat or raspberry ale.

 

Do some tasting flights at the local places.

 

Definitely hef's, pilsners and kolsch's to start.
