Three cheers to American brewers. In celebration of American Craft Beer week— we’ve gathered our top picks for easy-summer drinking.
Buffalo Bayou Summer’s Wit
Buffalo Bayou took a classic Belgian Witbier yeast and fed it hibiscus flowers, ginger coriander, and orange peel.
Horny Goat Brewing. Watermelon Wheat
The watermelon flavor is subtle. So it won’t overwhelm the light-body of this semi-sweet beer. Very easy summer drinking.
Anderson Valley Summer Solstice
A semi-sweet, malty session beer with a creamy mouth feel and clean finish. Hints of caramel in the nose and a touch of spice. Excellent day-drinking for a hot summer day.
Victory Brewing Co. Golden Monkey Tripel
This Belgian style tripel is loaded with yeast character. Banana, clove, isoamyl. Fruity in body with light, earthy hops.
Alaskan Summer Kölsch
Soft balance of biscuity malts, pear notes and gentle hop bitterness. Very crisp finish.
Adelbert’s The Traveler IPA
Deep and golden. Floral and fruitiness on the nose. Warm and soft biscuity malts with a complex, clean finish.
Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin
Some may say there are few ways to improve Sculpin’s unique flavor, but the tart freshness of grapefruit perfectly complements the IPA’s citrusy hop character.
Brooklyn Summer Ale
This English style pale ale is a satisfying, summer classic.
