There's nothing more satisfying on a steamy day than a cold and crisp light lager or fruity heffe. But alas, I have gone on without the weather on my side and indulged in the Leinenkugels Summer Shandy and Berry Weiss. Both refreshing and have amazingly full flavors for 'summer' beers. Shandy is a take on the old English pub pull of lager and some odd lemony fizz drink. I could generally pass, but the Leine version is a lovely blend and suggest it for beach and/or backyard drinking.
Berry Weiss, oh, Berry Weiss! I recommend you for any time! This might be my favorite fruit beer. I took one drink and looked at my husband (with whom I generally share) and contemplated lying and saying that it was awful so that I wouldn't have to give up even one sip. I am greedy for it.
I consider all of their beers of fine quality...check out their site...
Locally I can't get enough of Rivertowne Pour House and their amazing variety of summer beers. The Babbling Blonde is worth the drive. I completely trust head brewer Andrew when he ages a brew with pineapple to make "Under the Sea." Try it with my favorite the lettuce wraps and cheese bread sticks. Or Mandarin Salad. Or the stuffed pub pretzels. Or...well, you get the idea.
Going to be in Pittsburgh September 12th? Think about coming out for the Big Pour.
