Backyard barbecues and picnics in the park have returned for the summer. It looks like it’s going to be a hot one this year, so it’s time for some beer recommendations for when you need a cold one.

Session Beers

I’m a fan of hazy IPAs and I like to have one now and again. Emphasis on “one.” They tend to be a bit filling for me. But enter session hazy IPAs, for which both the alcohol content and body are lessened, and maybe I’ll reach for another.

Sierra Nevada Brewing’s Summer Break Session Hazy IPA is 4.6 percent ABV and lands toward the medium side of light-bodied. A mild malt presence is coupled with passionfruit and mango fruitiness, in a straw-colored and cloudy pour with a thin white head.
