If you are firing up the grill by the pool, make sure to grab some Cigar City Maduro Brown Ale. The deep brown colored ale pairs perfectly with burgers or steaks coming off the grill with its roasted barley malt, cocoa and coffee flavors. Make sure to keep a few Maduros around for after dinner smores.
Six Point's Rad is Six Points interpretation of the German Radler, which is a blend of beer and citrus juice. Soft orange in appearance, the effervescent mouthfeel is refreshing while the tart and sweet citrus notes of grapefruit and orange help cool you down. At 3.2% ABV, you have not guilt enjoying a few of these poolside.
Narragansett Del's Shandy is following the shandy trend, a blend of beer and lemon juice or lemonade. This pale yellow beer is light bodied and has a tingly mouthfeel. A refreshing blend of sweet wheat malt and sour lemon with faint grassy hop notes. This one takes you back to those lemonade stands as a kid but with an adult twist.
If you are by the pool, mostly likely you have some games going and New Belgium's Blue Paddle Pilsner is a perfect pairing. Golden in color, this beer is definitely easy drinking. Notes of grassy and floral hops with touches if lemon. The sweet malt flavors of biscuits and crackers kept the beer balanced.
