We’ve rounded up the top beers that are totally sippable for a hot day.
Beer is a versatile drink that can be enjoyed on any occasion, whether it’s a regular day or a special event. It comes in various forms, such as light and dark, rich, and robust, and sour and sweet. With the increasing popularity of craft beer, the options available are more extensive than ever before, making it difficult to choose the perfect brew.
And, if you feel like time has flown by and suddenly, you’re experiencing sunny and warm days, you’re not alone. And if this has made you realize that your beer fridge needs some updating, don’t worry. There are plenty of cold beers available that are perfect for those looking for a lighter and more refreshing taste instead of heavier winter beers. However, this doesn’t mean you must settle for a basic macro lager, even though they can be great for a day spent grilling or watching a baseball game.
There are numerous options from innovative breweries that cater to even the most experienced beer drinkers. So, here are some excellent beers that you should consider stocking in your fridge or cooler right now.
CISCO BREWERS GREY LADY WHEAT ALE
Summer is not just about drinking light and easy lagers. This wheat ale has a unique blend of herbal and floral flavours, giving it a more robust mouthfeel and taste. It is an excellent choice to have on hand, especially if you prefer a slightly more substantial drink while sitting around the bonfire.
NARRAGANSETT ATLANTIC LIGHT LAGER
Narragansett’s Atlantic Light Lager is undoubtedly a great choice for those seeking a coastal vacation vibe. However, the brewery has managed to exceed expectations with its new beer, Atlantic Light, which is perfect for those who prefer lighter beers. Despite being only 108 calories, it retains the distinct and refreshing flavour that pairs well with ocean breezes and seafood.
Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing IPA
If you’re searching for a beer with a raw and unfiltered taste, Hazy Little Thing IPA from Sierra Nevada is the perfect choice for you. This beer is minimally processed, going straight from the tanks into the can, providing a more natural taste. Sierra Nevada’s unique fermenting process gives this 6.7% ABV beer a smooth and juicy flavour. They use grains like wheat, oats, and Munich malt to create a creamy finish, and they chill the fermenters at a higher temperature than usual.
OMMEGANG FROZEN WORLD
Make sure your beer fridge this season is fully stocked and ready to impress everyone. If you’re an IPA lover, you’re in luck because Ommegang, based in Cooperstown, N.Y., has released an innovative Double Cold IPA as part of their OMG Series, known for its hoppy beers. This IPA is refreshing, with a cold-fermentation process that gives it a crisp hop bite without being too hazy or heavy on the palate. According to the brewery, you’ll also experience a “sparkling burst of lemon and ultra-fresh feel.” It’s an excellent choice for warmer months when you want to enjoy an IPA without feeling weighed down.
BROOKLYN SUMMER ALE
Don’t forget to make space in your fridge for a classic summer beer that is considered one of the best in the modern beer industry. It’s perfect for enjoying yourself on the boardwalk or while grabbing a drink from a packed cooler. This beer has a light and refreshing taste with a satisfying malty finish.
