Summer is nigh and the beer gardens, rooftop bars, and sidewalk cafes are serving. While any beer can be made at any time—Oktoberfest arrives earlier and earlier each year it seems—the summer seasonal beers are likely invading the tap lists.
While there’s no law that says you can’t enjoy a stout such as Guinness in the warmer days, the truth is, drinkers gravitate toward lighter, more refreshing styles when the heat’s on, and craft brewers meet the demand. (As much as they also make the demand—if you brew it, they will drink.) Many of these brews offer a lower percentage ABV, which also makes for easy drinking.
