And it got me to thinking about summer beers in general. As Sonoma County\u2019s opened up, we\u2019ve been venturing out a bit more, including some trips out to Moonlight and Russian River. And the warmer months have been calling for some lighter beers (although a little Double Dry-Hopped Pliny the Elder in metal cups in Russian River\u2019s Windsor beer garden wasn\u2019t too bad either). Our regular summertime go-tos include Reality Czeck from Moonlight and Trumer Pils, both firmly hopped lagers brewed in NorCal. We\u2019d also visited a beer garden in Sebastopol recently that thankfully had Brasserie De La Senne\u2019s refreshingly bitter Taras Boulba on tap\u2014which we find way less often on the West Coast.<\/p>\n<p>Bell\u2019s Oberon. Dry, citrusy lambic and oysters. Fresh canned pale ale on the beach. As of late: we\u2019ve also been picking up more non-alcoholic options, like Lagunitas\u2019 IPNA.<\/p>\n<p>At least, that\u2019s what I\u2019ve been craving while the weather\u2019s hot. Kegerator currently includes a nicely crisp 5.8%-ABV pale ale with Amarillo, Citra and Mosaic hops from our local folks at Cooperage Brewing Co. What have you been digging this summer? What\u2019s the one summer-minded beer you wish you could get right now?
