Ipswitch Summer is the best summer brew I have had.

Although not a dedicated summer beer, I've really been enjoying Harpoon's UFO White lately.

Landshark, I like it, and in my opinion is smoother than Corona, and tastes better.

Hate To Admit It, But Bud Light Lime Isn't Bad For A Cheap Summer Beer!:tu

I prefer Guinness in the summer, whereas in the other three seasons, I prefer Guinness.

I prefer more IPAs in the summer, but as far as summer brews go I use to love the Sweetwater Summer Hummer but it has been retired so I will have to find a new favorite

Boulevard wheat is a great summer beer, but hell, really any beer is good in the summer time.

Ahh a good cold beer in the summer, nothing better (well with a cigar of course).

I really like Sam Adams Summer Ale. The best thing is my dad does homebrew and found a recipe for it, almost exactly the same.

Can you get Boulevard in Idaho?
I like Boulevard ZON. Hits the spot after mowing the yard.

I with you on that when at the pub, but at home Guinness is not the same, the nitro widget bottles taste like water, regardless the brand.

Just goes to show what a crappy beer Guiness would be if not for the nitro tap.

Back on subject . . . I love Sam Adams Summer Ale for a hot summer day. But I'm going to have to track down some of that Ipswich after the positive posts in this thread.

It's tough to find! There is a bar close to my house in Park City UT that has it on tap, which is awesome. The only place I've found it here in Boise is at a high end wine shop near my house that carries some nice beers as well. I miss KC badly for Boulevard, BBQ, and the Royals/Chiefs!

I love IPAs and Ales more than any thing else. That's why the Ipswitch Summer Ale tastes the best IMO it does not have that wheat beer taste.

I like the Old Speckled Hen English Ale. Good flavor, medium bodied and light on the alcohol content so you are not walking around like a sweaty wasted mess. Good stuff.

I'm a big fan of Bells Oberon, though this thread is giving me a nice list of ones to try. :tu

Aren't they great! Reminds me a of Euro beer and does taste different (in a good way) from the bottled version. I had my first one last week and was impressed. Also, it forces me to pour it in a glass, where I would've just drank it from the bottle previously.

I tend to lean toward wheats in the summer. Sunshine wheat being one of them. :) Lots of great Hefe's to be had.

That's funny I drink it from the can and pour it into a glass when its in teh bottle. Not all of the time mind you when the buzz gets big enough I just get lazy:)

Usually I enjoy Sierra Nevada Summerfest, but this year I have been drinking a lot of SN Old Chico Crystal Wheat!!!
Very refreshing on a warm day or night!!!

I like all kinds of beer, but will often reach for IPAs in the summer. Right now I have Dogfish Head 60 Minute and Smutteynose IPA in my fridge. :tu and :tu

I love IPA's and Pale Ales in the summer - really impressed with Redhook's new Big Ballard IPA.

If you love German Hefeweizens, give Franziskaner or Paulaner a shot! Those were my favorite while in Germany(well, of the ones that are available in the states at least)!

Sam's summer is a staple for me, but I also enjoy SeaDog or Wachusett Blueberry. Let the flaming begin!

My favorite was Sam Adams Summer Ale... until I tried Leinenkugels Summer Shandy at Centro Cigars last week in Lawrence. Yummy!! And I gotta agree with the inmate that mentioned Bud Light Lime for a cheap alternative :tu

Re: Favorite Summer Beer............
 
I've been drinking alot of Hefeweizen lately , Weihenstephaner , Schneider and Sonn's , SN Kellerweis , Franziskaner to just name a few . Had a couple SA summer ales tonight that were very good also . When it's really hot out I do enjoy the Bud Light lime . My favorite beer in the summer the last couple years has been Hoegarden , crisp , citrusy and refreshing . I love Guinness but it's just too heavy in the summer heat .
