7 Refreshing Beers To Try This Summer

Beer has long been a staple of the warmer weather, but with more and more variety available on the market today, it is difficult to know where to turn to when the sun comes out.

Typically, as long as it’s crisp and refreshing and has you heading back to the fridge for another, then it is probably the summer beer for you. However, there are a few characteristics that many of them have in common. They are normally low-ABV, crisp and balanced, and occasionally have fruity notes thrown in to help the versatility of what your beer can be paired with.

Here at Drink Finder, we have an unbeatable collection of beers available for our customers to purchase. Join us as we run you through 7 must-try summer beers!

 

Mine Brewery Adit IPA

For those who want a beer with a story, Adit IPA from Mine Brewery is a must-try this summer. Taking its name from the horizontal entrances to Cornwall’s historic mines, this IPA is a deep gold pour that perfectly balances heritage with a modern hop profile. It leads with a punchy citrus aroma and follows through with a clean, hoppy bitterness that makes it incredibly sessionable. It’s exactly the kind of "reward beer" you want at the end of a long coastal hike or a afternoon in the sun.

 

Goodh Brewing Co. Memoirs Of A Gose Cherry Blossom Gose

An unconventional choice for a summer beer, but this is one that Drink Finder fully supports. Salted cherry blossoms and sour cherries aren’t your typical summer flavours, but this one from Goodh Brewing Co. is a great alternative to mix into your rotation when it’s full of citrus flavours.

 

Treens Sunbeam Cornish Ale

A beer that keeps you coming back for a taste of summer. The Sunbeam from Treens is the ideal drink for those who are looking for a full citrus aroma with floral and spiced notes. But look out for hints of caramel — they’ll creep up on you.

 

Tintagel Brewery: Sir Lancelot Pale Ale

If you’re looking for a legendary refresher, Sir Lancelot is a noble choice. Brewed high on the cliffs of North Cornwall, this Golden Ale/Pale Ale hybrid is remarkably smooth. It leans into the floral and fruity side of the spectrum, offering a gentle sweetness that is quickly swept away by a crisp, dry finish. It’s light enough for a midday barbecue but has enough character to stand up to spicy summer foods. A true Cornish classic that feels as fresh as a sea breeze.

 

Skinner’s Porthleven Pale Beer

A classic for those who may be heading south for the summer. Coming from the famous Skinner’s Brewery in Cornwall, the Porthleven pale beer is a firm favourite with the local surfers after a day of riding waves.

 

Verdant 40 Watt Moon DIPA

One of Verdant’s most popular IPAs juiced up to DIPA proportions. Expect clean grapefruit and tropical fruit flavours accompanied by dank pine needles on the nose. This is the perfect beer to bring out when you’ve got a few friends around — especially if they enjoy a beer that is Strata-packed with a hefty dose of Citra.

 

Dynamite Valley Viaduct Pale Ale

Consumed by Drink Finder’s very own Jon, this Pale Ale from Dynamite Valley is a summer classic, only in canned form. This juicy and refreshing session craft beer with a hint of citrus is unfiltered to retain maximum flavour.
