Great Summer Ales

[rbbrock]

Goose Island makes a great Kolsch called Summertime.

Oy, I forgot about this beer. Had some last summer (in Des Moines) and thoroughly enjoyed it, but I don't see it around here (NW Iowa) so it had slipped my mind. I am going to have to try to find some soon before the season is over. Maybe I need to make a trip to Omaha...

Mirror pond by Deschutes Brewery is one of my all time summer favorites.

You guys will slay me for this, but if I just mowed the lawn, or biked across town, slamming a miller highlife just kicks ass. I don't know why.

In general, I don't really change my drinking patterns with the seasons. I enjoy a stout just as much in the summer as I do in the winter.

I'll pitch in a short list:
Berkshire Brewing Co Steel Rail Ale
Hoegaarden (or most Belgian Weiss beers)
Red Stripe
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Newcastle
