mom says at age three I publicly declared my love of beer at a social gathering, much to her mortification; these are my favorite hot weather beers
-
Old Style
officially my fav piss colored midwestern beer
-
Sunshine
a wheat beer nearing perfection from New Belgium, the makers of Fat Tire
-
Skinny Dip
also from my guys in Colorado at New Belgium, this citrus-y seasonal beer can be harder to find but is worth the search
-
Corona
much maligned, you would have to have a heart of stone not enjoy this beer when the temp tops 100- pretend you are drinking mineral water with lime, since that's about as aggressive as this beer is on the palate
-
Hoegaarden
the classic Belgian white beer- a witbier, actually- perfect with a slice of lemon
-
Hitachino Nest
their white beer is probably the easiest to find and also their best on a sweaty day
-
Blue Moon
also great with a slice of lemon or orange, from the Coors company
-
Berliner Kindl Weisse
deliciously sour this beer is light on the palate and great in the afternoon
-
Franzickaner Hefe-Weisse Dunkel
a dark wheat beer, edging into fall territory with its chestnut coloring and clove flavors
-
Tucher Helles Hefe Weiss
a german hefe with a big head, so good it's making me want to leave work for the day
-
Blanche de Namur
Belgian witbier that I could drink all day- don't try to find the brewery, even in Namur no one knows where it is
-
Allagash White
a smooth Belgian style witbier coming from Portland, Maine
-
Haywire Hefeweizen
the new name for the old Pyramid Hefe which has a brewery within walking distance of my old workplace; this is a totally solid American beer in the Belgian style
-
Troubadour Blond
higher in alcohol content, the blond ale is like a souped up pilsner
-
Saison Dupont
not many breweries make beer in the saison style, but this one is a gem; don't be put off by the chewiness- the unruly, clumpy yeast is part of the charm
-
Floret
...another one from the people on the farm at Dupont... mmmmmmmmm...
-
PBR
Heineken?! Fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!
-
312
Yeah yeah Goose Island is good
(photo of what happens when you have too much PBR)

4th person I've heard this from... I need to try this beer.

It was probably all me because I've already told you about it ten times
