Message theprof beers 4297 º places 42 º 12:09 Fri 5/26/2017 Given the last two days, this may be IT. On the off chance we get similar heat in later months, what would be your ideal summer ale? I suspect summer is the premium season for craft versus cask. But that may be a novice talking. Anyway what beer for the beer garden?
Message Leighton P beers 33720 º places 1204 º 13:53 Fri 5/26/2017 Do you mean ’keg’ versus cask? ’Craft beer’ has nothing to do with dispense method. Anyway, when it’s hot I definitely - on average - favour lower alcohol, more sessionable stuff, so goldes, saisons, moderate alcohol hoppy beers and lagers are all welcome. I’ll still drink strong stuff, and dark stuff, but they wouldn’t be my first choices.
Message BeardedAvenger P beers 7320 º places 596 º 14:21 Fri 5/26/2017 Though this earlier when I had a black IPA. Just did not work for me in the heat.
Message The_Osprey beers 10591 º places 178 º 14:24 Fri 5/26/2017 A sunny day is perfect for a pale lager country tick as you can actually get some enjoyment from it in those conditions

Message minutemat P beers 14673 º places 551 º 15:22 Fri 5/26/2017 When the heat rises, nothing beats a good sharp sour for me.. currently that means De Ranke & Tommie Sjef hitting the fridge space.
Message HogTownHarry beers 9241 º places 28 º 16:54 Fri 5/26/2017 Sussex Best when in top shape. Summer Lightning when fresh. Dark Star Hophead. That Notting Hill dry-hopped sour I had a couple of years ago was fucking spectacular.

Message evilempire beers 162 º places 110 º 18:39 Fri 5/26/2017 Well obviously the first thing I turn to is air conditioning, there is no need for anything over 70°f, ever. But failing that, it’s time to reach for the geueze
