    Seems only fitting right? So I am interested to see what you go to when a heavy, dark craft isn't available or needed. What is your go to cheap option on a 90 degree day? Let's face it, we aren't all classy beer snobs.... even as much as we want to be!

    Mine would be Primo....

    Ready, Go!

    On a hot day? Probably SNPA, Kellerweis or any available hefeweizen, a good IPA, a saison, and in the last summer, NB Shift. But if I'm out with a large group, probably PBR since its cheap and drinkable.

    yep, cheap and drinkable is what I am curious about. I don't know about where you guys are at, but I don't always have access to awesomeness.

    What do you consider cheap? I'm in California. I get 12 packs of SNPA for about $12. Less sometimes. At Costco I can get a 24 for like $20 so I usually go with that. I'll gladly take 24 SN beers for $20 over 30 BMC beers for the same price.

    90 degrees? Affordable? Sessionable? Summer?

    Agreed, any of the beers Brooklyn cans, actually. Lager, EIPA, Summer—all light (enough), drinkable, and still very flavorful. They might take some shit in ratings from time to time, but they're a great option for anything summertime.

    I mainly drink darker beers, summer and winter but if I'm doing something in the sun like fishing or anything during the middle of the day then I go for an IPA, PA, Saison, or even a lighter abv Triple.

    Don't even get me started on my hatred of 'summer ales'… haha I usually stick with a nice juicy west coast IPA.

    I'm definitely about Kellerweis, Oberon, and Lagunitas Pilz when summer hits. Probably drink a good bit of Weihenstephaner too.

    Harpoon Summer Beer was my favorite last summer.
    Anything cold, light and cheap usually gets the job done.

    Something about tenacious traveler lately. I even enjoy when it's frigid out, but it is so much better when it is 90+ degrees.
