For years I have been drinking pale ales and IPAs, and lately, I'm not feeling it.
Looking for a great, refreshing summer beer where I can drink a few and not feel sleepy or weighed down.

Some lighter beers I already enjoy: New Glaurs Spotted Cow, Schlitz (my neighbor growing up worked for the brewery, so I have a soft spot), and Canoe Paddler.

Cheers in advance!

I like Carlsberg export, and fresca seems to have a loyal following.

i always enjoyed pilsners for ligth and crisp. not necessarily the lightest and crispiest, just my preference.

stella artois, heineken, pilsner urquell or peroni are really tasty pilsners and relatively easy to find.

Make sure you don't grab a bottle of pee by accident.

close it up boys.

What about all the wheat beers?
Also not beer but ciders are out there...

 

[IDKFA]

Refreshing, light summer beer?! Do you want a real drink or do you want a soft drink?

Try this. it's a real beer that'll put hairs on your seed sacks.

 

[mekes]

Peroni, its very versatile

 

[MidGenRefresh]

I'm drinking this, ice cold. It's 24°C outside. It's pretty refreshing.

 

[Catphish]

Dunno if I'd consider it light or crisp, but this is by far my favorite summer beer.

 

[Ron Mexico]

Since you have access to New Glarus, I'm going to assume you're in their distro area. I'm in the MSP area now and again and it's a deceptively good drinking area.

I've had decent success with Surly beyond their hop-forward stuff. Something like Hell isn't bad if you can get it fresh.

If lagers arent your think or looking more general, I'd look at something like a pils is always a solid summer choice. And there's the whole variety of sours but that's hit or miss for most.

I'm more of a cider person but I had this in Germany once and can recommend

This is the shit.

This is the shit.

It's really not. As a Belgian, I can tell you that this is the worst example of our beer culture.

Try this, if you can find it. It's a trappist beer with the alcohol content of a pilsner. Good taste and very refreshing: https://www.trappistwestmalle.be/en/westmalle-extra?agecheck=plus18

I used to pour a ton of these for people coming off a golf course. Calusa Zote is another good one.

 

[West Texas CEO]

Bud Light Lime is my shit, I don't care what anyone says.

I just had 4 bottles of Peroni Nastro Azzuro a delightful Italian beer from Italy. Tastes fine like a summer breeze on a cloudy overcast summer day when you just need a certain Italian beer to quench that indomitable thirst.
I am not sponsored by Peroni Nastro Azzuro beer or Italy.

Not to hijack the thread but I know nothing about beer. I've had one beer I Iiked I can only describe it as 'smooth' was going to make a beer thread to learn more about beer maybe find something I like but I was afraid the thread would be inundated with suggestions of artisanal lemongrass/starfruit craft beer.

 

[En Sama]

Sounds like you need a Peroni, the smoothest of Italian beers.

 

[lachesis]

I second Pilsner as well. Light and crisp, and readily available everywhere.

 

[Mossybrew]

Yeah it's an IPA but it is very light and refreshing, from the best brewery in town.

I always hated Hoegaarden, tasted like the glass still had soap suds left in it or something. Just an odd, chemically taste.

Not for me.

yeah same. also not a fan of 'blonde' beers like Leffe. somethign about the flavor gives me the same soapy vibes lol

 

[Banjo64]

Coors Lite, ice cold. I can drink it like water. Lovely beer.

I am curious, do you get the same taste from cilantro? I've got a few friends that can't stand anything with cilantro, they say it makes the food taste like soap.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

I want to preface this by stating I can be as much of a beer snob as any of you, but the strawberry lemonade natty lights are delightful.

I've heard that, my friends can deal with it when I cook them something that needs cilantro, but I have heard that.

I don’t but my Mom hates cilantro for basically the same reason. Just different strokes.

 

[TastyPastry]

during hot summer i enjoy bavarian wheat beers the most so augustiner, könig ludwig, weihenstephaner would be my recommendations

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Michelob Ultra is always a decent light beer choice but I usually go for craft fruit ales i the summer. Strawberry right now is so good.

 

[12Goblins]

when I am in europe this shit is really good in the summer

 

[AlteredForms]

I've never drank and don't have much interest to, but I absolutely love to see the different brands and people's experiences with each.
