The beers of summer

As some of you may have guessed, I like beer. In fact, I love beer. And beer is a beverage often associated with summer.

Unfortunately, summer is the one time of year I have difficulty picking a beer. I know, I know, there are beers which are well suited to warm weather just as there are beers which are suited to cooler weather, and I’ve talked about those earlier this week. On a day with strong sunshine and temperatures in the 90s, I find picking a beer to be rather difficult. In fact, last weekend we were at a backyard barbecue and, although I brought beer, I didn’t drink any.

As an alternative, I will also sometimes indulge in *gasp* an alcohol-free beer. If you’re really in the mood for a beer, but can’t get past that strong afternoon sun, a Beck’s or Clausthaler alcohol-free might fill the bill.
