Let's talk good beer

With the warm weather we've had over the last few weeks, it's time to look towards the lighter beers, and I'm not talking about the mass produced Miller/Bud/Coors "Light" beers.

Had a few pints of Evolution Craft Brewery's Sprung (http://www.evolutioncraftbrewing.com/seasonal-spring.htm) over the weekend. Great spring beer, quite smooth, great floral notes, very easy to drink. A beer that could bring those who are hesitant to give microbrews a try into the wonderful world of great beer. From their website, Evo is only offering it in keg form, so if your local watering hole (http://www.evolutioncraftbrewing.com/pdf/Locations-EVO-on-tap.pdf) offers Evo on tap, be sure to check this one out. Or head to their brewery just a shade north of Salisbury, MD.

hadnt poted here in a while, but sonofabitch that starr hill shit is GOOD this year. starr pils. try it.

Stawski

Found some of this in Chicago.
Not a microbrew but a Polish lager.
A slightly heavy lager but equally refreshing with a creamy aftertaste.
Pretty good!

this looks like a solid beer, but doesnt the name Stawski look too close to swastika? i think i woulda gone with another name.

Ive been on a Heineken craze lately. Smooth beer in these hot temps.

Did though have a couple of these from one of my favorite brewry, Breckenridge:

471 Small Batch | Colorado Micro Brew | Breckenridge Brewery (http://www.breckbrew.com/brews/471-small-batch)

Had a couple off a cold tap during a dinner. Taste like 100+ IBUs, but the alcohol 9.2% and I really felt it. Good beer, not my favorite from them because you can "taste" the high alcohol percentage. Lil more balance is needed.

Last two microbrews I had were Sierra Nevada's Summerfest® (http://www.sierranevada.com/beers/summerfest.html) and Flying Dog's UnderDog Atlantic Lager (http://flyingdogales.com/beers/#/The+Pack/UnderDog).

SummerFest is just a smooth drinking beer. Great summer time beer. Nice to see Sierra Nevada is still hitting it out of the park with their seasonals.

UnderDog is the lightness of the lager and the bite of the IPA. Very tasty. Had it at home in cans (comes in bottles as well), and then grabbed a draft at a great sandwich shop in Frederick (a.k.a. Friscos | A Gathering Place for the Hungry (http://akafriscos.com/)). I really enjoyed it and glad it's a year-rounder for Flying Dog.

Love Summerfest.

And around the holidays look for their Celebration Ale. Fresh hopped, yum.
