Savoring the Last Days of Summer with Craft Beer
As the summer season comes to a close, I’m excited to share my top picks for craft beers that are perfect for savoring during these final warm days. With a focus on value and quality, I’ve selected three styles that cater to different tastes and preferences.
Malt Dominant: Cisco Brewers’ Grey Lady
For those who prefer a less bitter beer, Cisco Brewers’ Grey Lady is an excellent choice. This Witbier is brewed with a perfect balance of flavors, featuring notes of light fruit, peach, apricot, lemon, and coriander. With an alcohol content of 4.8% and priced at $11 for a six-pack, it’s an unbeatable value. This refreshing beer is ideal for hot summer days and is sure to please both novice and experienced craft beer drinkers.
Hop Dominant: Green Flash Brewing Co. Citra Session IPA
For those who crave a hoppier beer, Green Flash Brewing Co.’s Citra Session IPA is a great option. This Session IPA is brewed with Citra hops, which provide a pleasant aroma and flavor profile featuring tangerine rind, lemon, and herbal notes. With an alcohol content of 4.5% and priced at $11-12 for a six-pack, it’s a refreshing and flavorful choice for hot summer days.
Seasonal Wildcard: Great Divide Brewing Co. Collette
For those looking to try something new and exciting, Great Divide Brewing Co.’s Collette is a Belgian-style Saison that’s perfect for the season. This beer is perfectly carbonated, with a sweet, fruity aroma and flavor profile featuring notes of peach, corn, and slight spice. With an alcohol content of 7.3% and priced at $10-11 for a six-pack, it’s a great value for a beer that’s sure to impress.
Why Six-Packs?
I’ve chosen to focus on six-packs because they offer the best value in craft beer. Not only do they provide a more affordable option, but they also allow you to try new beers without committing to a larger quantity. Plus, they’re perfect for sharing with friends or enjoying on your own.
The Benefits of Buying Local
Buying craft beer from local breweries not only supports the local economy, but it also allows you to discover new flavors and styles that may not be available elsewhere. By purchasing a six-pack, you’re able to try new beers and get to know your tastes without breaking the bank.
So why not grab a few friends, pick up a six-pack, and enjoy the last days of summer with a cold beer in hand?
