What’s everyone’s favourite beer this summer?
If I read one more post about covid or the UCP, I’m getting in the tub with every appliance I own.

Atomic Sonic from Sea Change if you want a real nice summer lager. Honestly everything Sea Change has put out this summer has been the absolute tits

That’s the collab with the radio station right? I haven’t tried that one yet, but I’ve tried most of the ones available in cans, and I always get a growler of the wolf whenever I’m in the city.

Yep it is! Nice and light, really crushable
5
Been really into the power up porter from analog brewing. Everything I’ve tried from them has been amazing, my favourite local brewery for sure
16
In another castle and the gose they have are great too, I usually keep my porter consumption to the cooler months though.
4
Ready Paler two is also top tier!
5
Oh I haven't had Two yet, Ready Paler One has been a favourite since I discovered their little place and loved it from the first step inside.
2
I hear ya on this one. I enjoy darker beers year round but they’re definitely more suited to cooler months for me!
2
Ain’t much better than crushing a porter or stout with a bowl of soup or chilli when it’s -40 outside.
2
Are you actually making me yearn for winter times?? Damn you!!
2
Their Fandango porter is really good too. It’s a Mexican horchata spiced porter.
4
Analog is wonderful! They had a spicy beer on tap called ifriti. It was amazing.

Budlight with a shot of orange juice cause I'm that fancy.
13
Fancier than me, if the human body is 70% water, 30% of mine is Lucky or Busch, maybe Brava if it’s a special occasion.
11
A old inspector told me to try it. It's pretty good not a huge beer drinker but tequila can get dangerous. It's my redneck mimosa.
2
Sounds like something I could drink a couple of while camping, around the same time the birds starting making noise.

Cut it out.
Switch to wine instead. And lose 20lbs.
-5
My palate is not that sophisticated. I don't have 20lbs to lose fortunately.
3
Do you know what red wine tastes like? Every other red wine. Don’t get me wrong, I like glass, but I couldn’t tell the difference between a 7 dollar bottle and an 80 dollar bottle.
5
My mom supplies wines to various restaurants all around the city. I've tried many and each of them make my face pucker with the sour bitter grape taste. I've tasted stuff thats suppose to be sweeter but it's not. I'd stick to grape juice.
1
Sours have been my go to this summer. I found the Blueberry Sour Smoothie from Town square Brewery to be exceptional.
10
I can’t really get into the smoothie beers that much, it’s like I’m drinking adult YOP, and I like YOP. Well I did when I was 8. Smoothies are just too think for me. Just about everything town square makes is great though!
1
I totally get that. I think I am the only person I know who enjoys the smoothie sours. As far as town square goes, I agree. I have never been disappointed. Always a safe bet.
2
Sadly the one that doesn’t contain alcohol…. It’s fine and needed for my well being, but normal brews are way more enjoyable.
9
Nah, not necessarily, I’ve had some good non alcoholic brews. They even have alcohol free IPA’s and stuff now. If it scratches the itch, that’s all that really matters.
9
They’ve come a long way, that’s for sure.
2
Any beer with AB Smokey air bubbled thru it
3
Haven't been drinking beer this summer but my favorite was Alley Kat Scona Gold.

Crisp pils

My partner loves the Gose from Endevour Brewing in St. Albert. He likes sours. I like their IPA or Corona at home if I want something lighter depending on my mood.
7
I’m trying their Tumbling Goat Belgian Pale Ale right now ! Pretty solid!
3
I also love their gose.

Annex forward progress

Folding Mountain's new seasonal IPA
6
Wild Rose Poderosa Gose
5
Snow ghost white ale
4
I didn’t even know there was a brewery in the pass, I’ll keep my eye open for it.
2
Try their brie cheese and chicken pizza with the ale mentioned above - it was great! I also had no idea that Blairmore had such a great little restaurant
5
I haven’t been down that way in a couple years, a road trip may be in order.

The super duper saturation from cabin brewing is one of my favourites.
4
Check out Banded Peak's Class 5 DIPA if you dug super duper sat, it's fookin delicious and up the same alley.
1
Summers are the season for something light and refreshing IMO so I usually stick with crisp beers like lagers and pilsners, maybe the odd wheat ale or something.
I haven't nailed down anything specific that I've stuck to so far this year since coming out of hibernation but I did have a few at Craft after Taste of Edmonton last week that were decent; Peach Bod by Parallel 49, Dinosour by Phillips and Duotang by Eight-Eight Brewing.
4
Peach bod is great! I’ve drank more dinosour than I’d like to admit, shit goes down waaaaay too easily, and I’d buy the other one just because it’s called duotang and that’s in my top ten words in the English language.
2
I'm a big fan of the Stanley Park Sunsetter (and Windstorm is great too) so I asked if it was similar (she didn't know but I got it anyway) and it was. First time having Dinosour and Duotang but I've been really digging the sours since I first tried one last year.
Also had Campio's All-Malt Lager for the first time around this time last year and it was a pretty good summer patio beer I thought. Gotta try and get back up there for another one before school starts up again.
2
Campio make some solid beers, I’ll be goddamned if that pizza doesn’t make my toes curl though. I’d commit a federal offence for a PB & J right now

Preach! It's getting pretty tiresome. About beers, I have to say my new favourite brewery is Banded Peak. Really like their DIPA - Class 5, and their Hazy IPA - Tail Wave. Fired Up and Microburst are also great.
4
Fave in the spring was Blindmans May Long DIPA. Otherwise any west coast IPA fits the bill nicely.
4
YES their DIPA was the best beer I’ve had in awhile. I like Sawback West Coast IPA or Cabin Super Saturation
3
Village! I love the Wit, Blonde and Squeeze most!
4
Village blonde is a tasty brew
3
Village makes the best cider!

I had some dark ales and a stout made by Yukon Brewing that were pretty good. The Darkside mix it was called.

Mangolorian by Alley Kat. I’m on a mango kick and damn it’s refreshing.
I love the Cherry Bomb. It's ridiculously good. My top summer beer but they killed it with their summer line up this year.
Yeah I’m not upset with it at all lol. Plus local!
Oh, I love their main squeeze so now I have to find this one.
