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

    I'll tell you what- I'll try to get pics of Kip and me drinking each of these beers. What do you think Kip?
