My favorate summer beer is Oberon from Bells Brewery ( Western Michigan)

I love a Corona with Lime on a hot day, but my midwest upbringing comes out when I get some Olympia once in a while.

But, since I live in Colorado, I usually sample lots of micro-brews just for fun. I do really like the Sam Adams light for being flavorful but not too heavy on a hot day.

An ice cold Blue Moon with a slice of orange...makes me what to go out and buy a case now.

Ahh yes...Oberon is the best! Unlike other beers, it tastes great at any temp.:p

Spaten opitmator. mmmmm

Sierra Nevada, Pale Ale, or Sierra Nevada ESB the past few weeks.

Summer Beers:

Sierra Nevada Summerfest Lager
Harpoon Summer


Utility/sport beer:
miller lite bottles, ice cold. Like drinking seltzer. Very refreshing and does not slow you down. Perfect for yardwork, bowling, fishing, softball etc.

otherwise, I'm a big pale ale/IPA guy
Victory Hop Devil
Sierra Nevada Southern Hemisphere Fresh Hop Ale and other SN offerings outside of the pine cone-tasting Torpedo IPA.
Dogfish 60
Brooklyn IPA
Wachusett Green Monsta
etc

This is a great summer beer, with the real Weiheinstephan yeast that a weizen should be brewed with, Ayinger Brau-Weisse.

Thanks to a father's day gift from my in-laws, I just found my new favorite summer ale - Quilter's Irish Death. Very tough to describe it, but it's somewhere between a porter and an IPA, with color and flavor leaning towards the porter. Now I just need to find out how to get this in bulk, instead of at our local "By The Bottle" shop.

Ice cold Stella with a splash of 7up / sprite whatever,

New Belgium Skinny Dip, though I haven't seen it yet this year. :(
I'm also a fan of Pacifico, but I haven't tried Presidente, whatever that is.

For my current and way into the future (5.5 cases) favorite we went here-

Whales tail brewed on Nantucket

Guiness. Same as my favourite beer on a cold winter night... (good for breakfast, too).

I wish I could find Piton in the US. Maybe it was being in St. Lucia, but man I thought it was good.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1245718406.jpg
