Ideas for summer drinking

[Docjay]

Every year in my neighborhood we have a festive 4th of July. This has resulted in my brewing 4 different beers and Apflevine.

Last year I made Biermunchers blonde ale, a southern brown, apricot wheat and blood orange IPA

Looking for ideas, beers need to be ready to carb by July 2nd

Thanks in advance

@Biermuncher's cream of three crops is also awesome.... I Like @DubbelDach's Watermelon wheat (and I'm not a big wheat fan)... My own Rhubarb Rye is also great for a summer brew.

For a mildly hoppy APA, I recommend @Yooper's Haus Ale

I imagine a lot of people who like lighter beers?

do a blonde ale

Porters are always a favorite, do a lighter porter or a brown ale

remember homebrewers love hop bombs, but a lot of the neighbors are going want blander beers, make a beer for them to start winning them over

the centennial blonde on here is pretty good.
There's also a great kumquat wheat pale ale recipe that was in zymurgy a while back.

California common is a go to summer beer for me, as well as a good and hoppy APA and IPA. Wheat and blonde ales are popular as well.

Having said that, the Cream of Three Crops is what I would make the top of any summer beer list.

4th of July? A cream ale with a little Victory malt and Liberty hops.

I always brew a mango cream ale, some times i add a couple chili peppers for a small kick of heat with the mango flavor sometimes I don't
