With summertime approaching soon, it’s time to put away the porters and stouts and stock up on light, fruity, easy to drink beers. Here are my top 3 favorite beers from Bay Fest that are perfect for hot summer days.

1940’s Brewing Company
Bohemia Blonde (American Blonde Ale): 6.6% abv – A hint of apricot makes this blonde ale fruity and easy to drink.

Garvies Point Brewery
South Batch (Motueka): 5.1% abv – If you love sour beers, you must try this kettle sour dry hopped wheat ale.

Lineup Brewing
“Did you hit it”: 5% abv – The “Did you hit it” beer is dry hopped with Huell Melon and is fruity and crisp.
