Conditions:

Weather- between 72 and 90 degrees.
Food - grilled meat, vegetables, hamburgers, potato salad etc.
Consumption <4 (typically) beers.

What do you prefer for this type of thing?

I err on the side of lightness, and coldness.

Could go a lot of ways with this one.

I'm partial to Ice cold Corona or Pacifico for this type of scenario.....or a Pilsner Urquell.

any summer seasonal is recommended. or a hef with a lemon wedge. try a sam adams summerfest.

In this economic climate: Busch Light

In any other climate: Busch Light

Nothing premium but the price!

Dingdingdingdingdingding... winner! Love is not too strong of a word to describe my feelings towards that beer.

Partial to a Blue Moon with an orange wedge myself.

That or a Honeymoon,......extra cold.

I think Brewer's spot on.
Even the ladies will like Hefeweisen (Widmer) with some lemon.
A summer seasonal would be a very nice touch, as well and Sam does (IMHO) make the best light beer on the planet.
For my boys that like big beer I would have a quality IPA or amber ale (Full Sail) on hand.

[quote=Direct-DriveI would have a quality IPA [/quote]

Hard to beat a quality IPA or Imperial IPA if your a hop-head like I am.

Homebrew.

Other than that, I'd go with an American hef sans lemon. Fruit does not belong in beer, IMHO.

If the meat is steaks and burgers, I'd go with something with more body than a pilsner. Sierra Nevada Pale, brown porter, or something like that. An IPA will accentuate any spicy food you're having. A pilsner would be better with fish and chicken.

For dessert, make a float using a good milk stout and homemade ice cream. Yumm.

Pacifico is a lot like sex in a canoe.





Fvking near water.

Anything except a breakfast beer.

1)Pacifico
2) sierra summerfest is a good one.
3) any IPA...id go with Deschutes Inversion

Typo

ROFLOL
I guess I was trying to be PC

However, I wouldn't say "only".......
Remember the dude in gym class that was always sporting wood when it was shower time ?
He would like Hef with lemon, too.

Manny's

cds,
You can stop by the brewery in Georgetown and pick up glass growlers or mini kegs so you can enjoy Manny's at home.

I really enjoy having the brewery in my sales territory.

+1 for Pacifico. A few of my old homies that wintered in San Jose del Cabo used to bring cases back in the spring. They motherhened the bottles as the deposit was almost the same as the contents. After commercial fishing in Alaska, they'd haul the bottles back down to the Baja.

Manny's is owned by a guy that used to be at Mac & Jack's. One of my sons sold him some computer gear a few years ago and Manny gave my son a credit for two kegs of their finest. My ungrateful son supplied the kegs for a his friend's bachelor party and I didn't get any. Rotten kid.

Alaskan Summer or Deschutes Twilight

I have heard there are two types of beer............. Your beer and my beer. I would rather drink your beer. LOL.
Actually since I have been brewing my own for the past 5 years I actually prefer my beer. I have a nice clone recipe of Alaskan Amber that I really like.

another thought is DosEquiss. if it's good enough for the most interesting man in the world... then yes it will work for your group too RR.
