View Full Version : Favorite Summer Beer
blondterror 04-22-2013, 07:32 PM Its Summer beer season already..
I have Brooklyn Summer and Harpoon Summer in the fridge now. I like them both... perhaps with the edge going to Brooklyn.
What Summer brews do you guys like?
onsetangler 04-22-2013, 08:56 PM For summer beers Shipyard is pretty good, Harpoon as well. I think the Gansett is really nice too.

Raven 04-23-2013, 02:51 AM hmmm, i've been having an occasional Corona (wife's beer)
with no headaches experienced afterwards...
side stepping the BULL (ingredient) with my red cape
that causes me migraines is a difficult dance ...
previously only resorting to wine, vodka or rum

The Dad Fisherman 04-23-2013, 05:07 AM I know a lot of people stick their nose up at them, but I really enjoy the Wheat beers in the Summer....
JohnnySaxatilis 04-23-2013, 06:20 AM Narragansett Summer Ale was the sneakiest good beer of the last summer for me. And comes in tall boy 6'rs, and isnt expensive, and its quite good

They sell out of it within a couple days every time they get a delivery at my local shop.
I think it's pretty good, and also like that it comes in cans. I try not to drink bottles outside, especially around the concrete pool area.
I had a Sam Summer last night and it seems like they did a nice job with it this year. I had the Harpoon last week and it was pretty good, but not as good as the Sam. Still a bunch more out there to try.
Clogston29 04-23-2013, 12:58 PM brooklyn summer for me. love the stuff.
MikeD 04-23-2013, 01:02 PM Had the Cisco Summer of Lager a few days ago. I enjoyed that. No citrus, just a nice crisp lager.
Higgie 04-23-2013, 07:14 PM X2 on gansett summer. Had a few wormtown blonde cougar the other night and enjoyed that.

I just discovered this one for myself this weekend and was very happy with it.

fishbones 05-16-2013, 11:24 AM Picked up a 6 pack of Summer Swelter from Baxter Brewing Company last night on the recommendation of the girl at my local store. Not bad, but definitely not my favorite summer brew. It had a little too strong of a wheat influence for my taste, but other than that was pretty good. The citrus wasn't too overpowering, which was good. That being said, I'm still gong with Sam Summer as my favorite summer brew that I've had this year so far.
Beware reccomendations from liqueur store staff. More often than not I have seen them try to reccomend slow moving product.

Depends on the Liquor store.....If you have a good rapport with a store lots of times their recommendations are real.
gotta remember too, that just because you didn't like it doesn't mean they didn't like it....and their recommendation is based on what they think.

This one had just come in and they had a tasting last weekend with it. She said the response was positive and her husband really likes it. I shouldn't have trusted him, though. He's a vegetarian.
Ahh ok. That's a valid reccomendation.

spence 05-16-2013, 06:22 PM The Narry Summer isn't that terrible.
Perhaps my fav is Wittekerke.

zimmy 05-17-2013, 08:44 AM New England fuzzy baby ducks if it is available.
Clogston29 05-17-2013, 08:54 AM i think the peak brews are pretty good, not great. the local series massachusetts one is probably their best IMHO.
HighTide 05-17-2013, 03:43 PM Switching over to Coronas soon. No limes though, nothing wakes you up in the middle of the night like acid reflux.

rphud 07-05-2013, 09:57 AM recently, Allagash Tripel. Thinking I may go the Tripel and Saison route for a while depending on what I can find in CT or at Julio's. Would be nice to find good stuff in small bottles, but not so easy to do.
flyvice11787 07-05-2013, 05:59 PM Here's a few more :tooth:.

A number of pretty strong beers in that list. Orval? Tank 7? Flower Power?
Funny they even mention Einbecker Mai-Ur-Bock. Several years ago a friend who was managing a packy was given a mini-keg from the distributor. I can't tell you if the evening ended good or bad as I don't remember it ;)

Triples are awesome summer beers

rphud 07-07-2013, 11:24 AM Tank 7's are very good!! Probably be hitting Julio's for a few in the near future. Those and some Pretty Things and some ...... (long list to shop against)
rphud 08-24-2013, 06:51 AM I think it has to be Saison DuPont. Still working my way down the list, but DuPont will likely keep the number one spot. Pretty easy to find, but a bit pricey especially in a four pack. Worth it though.

what he said..... good and not all "foo-foo" designer-micro-tripple-heffe-shandy crap...
Bigcat 09-18-2013, 04:41 PM I been drinking Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale.
Clogston29 05-17-2016, 08:29 AM Narragansett Summer Citra is a nice summer beer. Slightly better than last years Narragansett Summer I think. Cool can design too.
The Dad Fisherman 05-17-2016, 09:46 AM I've been digging the Ipswich SIPA recently.....comes in the mix pack with their IPA and 101 IPA....which are also very good
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device
Rockport24 05-17-2016, 11:09 AM I like the 101 IPA
rphud 05-18-2016, 05:06 PM Made some Brooklyn Summer clone, so there's that. Thinking about making some Abbey Ale clone this weekend. Looking at some Trillium Free Rise and Fort Point Galaxy too.....maybe some Tiny Chicken.
Grapefruit sculpin served ice cold is my favorite. It has to be in the can though. Tastes better.

The Dad Fisherman 05-18-2016, 08:37 PM A nice fresh growler of Tributary's Pale Ale is pretty damn tasty as well.....

Rockport24 06-01-2016, 10:11 AM this may be sacrilege to some of you, but I started up on the Leinekugal summer shandy this weekend, stuff goes down easy and is very refreshing!
Rockport24 06-01-2016, 10:12 AM oh by the way, speaking of Ipswich, went to their new brew pub (opened in Jan I guess) pretty cool and has all of their beers on tap, the double IPA is very nice and every beer is $5!!
The Dad Fisherman 06-01-2016, 10:33 AM I do like their 101 IPA, very tasty beer....

BigFish 06-01-2016, 12:10 PM I like 3 beers......"Cold", "Free" and Miller Lite! :cheers2:

Just bought my wife a case of Founders All Day IPA to take to Block Island. Stole a few cans first. Tasty and low ABV which will let you have a few cans and not feel like crashing.
Clogston29 06-03-2016, 08:37 AM the founders is good and relatively inexpensive which is nice.

Both beers I've tried from them are solid. A tap room might get me to go back to my old stomping grounds.

I graduated from Salem State and had a lot of fun there. Haven't had the chance to get back other than to stop for dinner on our way to or from other places. I would definitely head up to visit Notch.

Poncho 07-02-2016, 06:50 AM I've been on a steady diet of building 8 and single cut. Building 8 just launched a session beer yesterday. I had a chance to try it at the brewery at there open house. It was not carbonated yet but it was very good.
