Summer Ales are Everywhere!

By Orlando Beer Guide

    Summertime is a great time of year for those of us who love beer!  Homebrewers whip out their finest "Lawnmower Beer" recipes, summer travelers get to sample cool new beers while visiting new destinations, and beer stores and local bars have an increasingly large selection of craft beers specifically made to be enjoyed during the heat.   

    It seems like each year there are more and more beers out there that receive the label "Summer Ale".  I would venture to guess that pretty much every craft brewery has their own version of this type of beer.  Last summer we took a little trip up to Maine and really enjoyed Gritty's Vacationland Summer Ale.  It is probably our personal favorite and the best we have tried.  I snapped the above picture of my wife enjoying one while looking down on the Porcupine Islands in Acadia National Park.

    So here's a few other Summer Ales that are available here in Orlando.  Which one is your favorite?  Let us know if you have a good one that is missing from the list...
