Best 4th of July Brew?

[MarshalFlint]

About 6 weeks to go to the 4th of July weekend. I've got a wheat beer with orange, lime, and ginger in secondary. Thinking about trying to get another batch going for the festivities. Any recommendations?

You already have a wheat so I would go with a hoppy pale ale, something low in ABV and citrusy.

Yooper's Haus ale for an APA, or Biermuncher's centennial blonde, dubbeldach's watermelon wheat is good, too, but you already have a wheat.

American Lite Lager, perfect for the 4th!

Cream of Three Crops!

Steam (aka California Common)

I like your style Sandy!

I did a citra saison for my wedding...it was a huge hit and tasted great after 6 weeks from brewday!

I'd have to say any beer that goes with bbq & other foods being served. So far, I'll have a kottbusser, Irish red, & my whiskely stout. Maybe a saison or dampfbeir next?

Just brewed up 10 gallons of a simple blonde Ale for the 4th. Word.

I believe Steam is one of only a few styles that originated in the US, so you may consider brewing a Steam for the 4th. Mine is already bottled.View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1432361339.812851.jpg

If you can/like to do a sour, I'd highly recommend a Berlinerweis or a gose. Low abv, refreshing. Can't beat it. Quick turn around time requires a sour mash or I'd recommend kettle sour. Mmm

CAP, or pre-prohibition cream ale.
