summer beer

[delhalew]

Memorial day is almost here. Maybe the sun will come out. I haven't checked the forecast.

What is your favorite "out in sunshine" beer? Fishing, swimming, or mowing the lawn.

I'll have to give it more thought, but here are some that have fit the bill in the past.

Shiner Blonde, Boulevard Wheat, Corona, Michelob Ultra.

On the High end, Bass, Fuller's ESB, and the like.

I'm going to change to Bud 55 because I'm a fatty.

[Boomer.....]

I'm going to change to Bud 55 because I'm a shorty.

I don't think it makes you taller.

[Boomer.....]

I've always enjoyed messican or wheat beers also.

Give me a ice cold Pacifico, Boulevard Wheat, or Hogaarden and I'm peachy.

I actually really like Bud Light Wheat but it's harder to find anymore.

Is that still beer? I've honestly never tried it, and don't plan on it.

[Viking Kitten]

New Belgium makes one called "Sunshine Wheat" that we like in the summer... since we often road trip to Schlitterbahn for summer vacation we just stock up in Texas and transport it back to Oklahoma on ice. (Since our stupid liquor laws prevent New Belgium from selling here.)

[The Profit]

My German buddies would consider any wheat beer to be summer beer. They would never think of drinking wheat beer any other time.

Here is a good beer.


Kölsch, also written Koelsch, is a local beer speciality brewed in Cologne, Germany. It is a clear beer with a bright straw-yellow hue, and it has a prominent, but not extreme, hoppiness. It is less bitter than the standard German pale lager. Furthermore, Kölsch is warm fermented at a temperature around 13 to 21°C (55 to 70°F) and then cold-conditioned, or lagered.[1] This manner of fermentation links Kölsch with some other beer styles of central northern Europe, such as the Altbiers of northern Germany and the Netherlands.
Kölsch is strictly defined by the Kölsch Konvention, an agreement between the members of the Cologne Brewery Association. It is a pale, highly attenuated, hoppy, clear, top-fermenting beer with an original gravity of between 11 and 16 degrees Plato (1.044—1.065). In practice almost all Kölsch brands have a very similar gravity near the middle of this range.

[delhalew]

If you are getting bored with your usual summer choices, try one of these examples of a German Kolsch.

I'm pretty sure you gave up the right to be a beer ****** when you mentioned Corona.

[The Maestro]

Michelob Ultra Lime Cactus...not much of a beer drinker, but this one is good in the sun.

[delhalew]

I'm pretty sure you gave up the right to be a beer ****** when you mentioned Corona.

I never said it was great. If there is ever a time for a skunky Mexican beer, a figure a hot summer day is it.

[MeMyself&Me]

Real pilsners and Kolsch.


Whatever you do, don't take a keg of 10% ABV Belgian golden strong ale with you on a hot camping trip! It goes down as easy as a 4.5% ABV pilsner but you tend to 'lose time'! :eek:

[The Profit]

By the way, Bricktown Brewery now has Kolsch on tap.

Forgot to mention Cream Ale... or at least the homebrew versions I've had. Never tried a commercially made one.

[rekamrettuB]

Can't get it here but Presidente is really good. Corona w/out the skunk after taste.

[2121Sooner]

[Fraggle145]

Leinie's Summer Shandy is really good for summer time. Its half lemonade, half beer... I think in Germany they call it a Radler. Anyway, its good in the sun and chicks like it.

Ugg. Chicks in England like those shandies. They mix up the lager (Budweiser) and 'lemonade' (in England lemonade is 7-up) right there when you order it. Yuck!

I ws going to say you should try their skinny dip, great summer beer. But it has been replaced by the Somesault. Haven't tried it yet.

Harpoons summer beer is good

[NormanPride]

My friend made a fat tire clone that he boiled too hot and only got about 4% alcohol at the end. We called it the Weak Sauce. It is ****ing amazing on hot days.

[C&CDean]

Take a Michelob Ultra, fill a glass about 2/3rds full, then finish it with a Lindeman's Framboise. Not too many carbs, and you will thank me later.

[NormanPride]

Do you have to start with Michelob?

[delhalew]

Do you have to start with Michelob?

The Michelob would be a good vaguely beer flavored base. It is one of the only BMC beers that doesn't actually taste bad to me. It's tastes just like real beer, only really weak.

[OhU1]

I've tended to be drinking such heavy duty beers over the last 2-3 years that a "summer beer" for me is becoming German lagers or pale ale. These are not really light beers in alcohol content but they are lower and they are lighter in character and taste than IPA or stout.

Negra Modelo is a good choice for a highly drinkable beer which still has some malt flavor.

If I have to drink a widely available pale lager it's going to be Modelo. That would have to be my #1 summer "session" beer.

Edit: My wife had some Bud Lights in the fridge and I am drinking one right now. I just don't understand how there's anyone in the world that actually enjoys drinking this sh*t. I guess it's just what Americans are conditioned to like. I can give my wife a drink of Hoegaarden and she acts like I made her drink Clorox, but Bud Light is just grand. Hell, she won't even drink Sam Adams. I don't get it.

People get these crazy ideas in there heads, and there's no talking to them.
Think about how many millions cigarette companies spent before they discovered that you can't make anybody change brands. You have to get em when they're kids.

Those of us who won't drink Bud lite, suspected it was **** from the get go. We just drank it when there was no liquor around. That's my theory.

Good theory. Even when I drank the crap beer back in the old days I still didn't like Butt lite.

By the way picked up some Hobgoblins in Lawton (discussed in last week's thread). When I was in Tulsa last week there were no Hobgoblins in Jenks or the large Tulsa warehouse-like store. Both stores said the distributor was out. (Hopefully this beer does not disappear like McEwans.) I'm looking forward to trying this brew for the first time.

because the Scots like to be seen as the lowest value of the empire. where cheap, lesser commodities are to be found. i dunno about that? i'm gonna reverse your statement about understanding.

Scots tend to be frugal and spend their money wisely......nice generalization. they all do it that way. every person in Scotland is tight with a coin to make the diff between them and London and Newcastle and Leeds or Manchester or Bristol.

I remember drinking that on tap towards the end of last summer.


My thoughts at the time: Poured a super pale copper color with one-finger of white foam and streaks of lacing. The aroma was grassy and floral with some sugary sweetness. The flavor was a combination of sugars and grass with a touch of citrus on the end. Thin and easy drinking. Not terrible.
