re: Let's talk
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 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 offers Evo on tap, be sure to check this one out. Or head to their brewery just a shade north of Salisbury, MD.

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! Stawski Beer ![]()

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 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.

re: Let's talk
Last two microbrews I had were Sierra Nevada's Summerfest® and Flying Dog's UnderDog Atlantic Lager.
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). I really enjoyed it and glad it's a year-rounder for Flying Dog.

I was out in Denver earlier this year and was asking about good micro-brews to tour in Denver. They suggested New Belgian, Great Divide, etc. Then they said something along the lines of, "yeah some corncob town out in Maryland stole Flying Dog from us." -Gotta love my hometown. Atlantic Lager is a perfect BBQ beer. Easy to drink, low ABV... has a nice flavor to it. Raging bitch is there best seller I think.

re: Let's talk
If you get a chance, try one of Lagunitas' wet hopped beers. They essentially add freshly picked hops to the beer as opposed to the traditional dried out variety.
Hops are super prone to spoiling if they aren't immediately dried out, so they literally wait until the hops are on the truck straight from the farm and time the brew process to coincide perfectly with the delivery. Next time I'm out in California I've got to check them out.
