BEERS MADE FOR
SUMMER DAYS

Savour the season with brilliant beers infused with fruit flavours. Not one of your five a day, sadly

This week, I’ve fully embraced the spirit of summer; the weather may be hit and miss, but the barbecue is fired up and the ice buckets are ready and waiting for something special. If you’re feeling the same, invite the sunshine in with three brilliant beers infused with the flavours of the Mediterranean. Kick things off with a grapefruit IPA made with an easy-to-drink blend of American West Coast hops and zingy pink grapefruit juice. Or try blood orange wheat beer with European hops and subtle spice notes – it’s the perfect pairing for grilled oily fish. More of a traditionalist? Nothing beats a laid-back lager on lazy days. Cheers!
