Summertime is upon us. Sure, there's some clouds in the sky right now and I'm actually a little chilly with my ceiling fan going but such is life in Northeast PA. Memorial Day is next weekend which means, weather or not (see what I did there?), it's time for summertime. And what's more enjoyable during the summer months than sitting outside on your porch or deck, firing up the grill, and cracking open a few frosty cold brews?
If you're sick of the usual choices or want something different to compliment the season, here are a few great summer beers to try out.
LandShark Lager
The safest bet is the Jimmy Buffet inspired LandShark, Anheuser-Busch's version of Corona. Sure, the purists among you will scoff at the easily skunked clear bottles and mass produced nature of the beer. But I think there's not anything more refreshing than an ice cold 'Shark on a hot summer day. Plus the flavor itself beats Corona and there's no need for limes. Fins up!
2nd Choice: Modelo Especial
Ithaca Apricot Wheat
This might be the official beer of the summer of 2010 for me. It's got the right amount of refreshing fruityness without making me feel like I'm sipping an old wine cooler. From the very first sip, this beer IS summer.
2nd Choice: Seadog Apricot Wheat
Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy
If you really want to plunge headfirst into summer, give this beer a whirl. It claims to be half beer and half lemonade. It's more like a refreshing beer with a kick of Mike's to it. It's definitely not for everyone but I actually think it's LESS fruity than the Ithaca Apricot and is a great choice for a party where the guys want something different and the girls are afraid to veer from the usual.
Harpoon Summer Beer
If you're looking for something with a little more of a kick, try out this incredible offering from Harpoon. There's a good bit of hop bitterness but it's not so overpowering that you can't drink it during your cookout or enjoy it all day long. A perfect tailgating beer, this one tastes better every time you drink it.
2nd Choice: Ithaca Partly Sunny
Try out one of those beers for your next barbecue or ballgame. Then there will be no doubt that summertime is here.
