3 Beers to Try Before Summer’s Gone

Friday, August 7th, 2009 by Liz

Goose Island Pale AleSummer is quickly escaping us. It’s getting darker sooner, everyone’s weekends are jam-packed with last minute getaways and the back to school commercials are hitting the airwaves. Another one has come - and it’s almost gone.

There’s still time to check out some of my favorite summer beers though! Get ‘em before they’re farther gone than your farmers tan.

Here’s my Top 3:

1. Flying Dog Classic Pale Ale (Doggie Style)
This pale ale is a favorite and I get a kick out of the name. An English style an American twist.

2. Goose Island India Pale Ale
Bottled sunshine. Oh IPA’s, how I love thee. Oodles of fresh hops that make their presence known.

3. Samuel Adams Summer Ale
A delicious wheat beer with a soft mouthfeel, lemon zest and what Sam Adams calls "grains of paradise" – whatever it is, it works.

    Is the Goose available in Buffalo, now?

    Sadly, not yet :(

    My friends who live in Chicago brought some home for me to try earlier this summer.

    Can you get it in Rochester?

    Not yet, but my sources at Sheehan tell me it’s coming soon.
