I don't have a favorite summer beer: I tend to buy/drink whichever beer I'm in the mood for (at the time).

Summer time is the only time that I'll puchase canned beer. I fish with several people and we always purchase canned beer for those outings (don't want broken glass in the boat).

That said, nothing beats a cold beer on a hot summer's day. Just about any brand of beer will quench my thirst better than any other beverage choice.

I live in the woods (in a secluded area), so sitting on the deck, listening to the radio while smoking a cigar and drinking an ice cold beer is among my favorite means for enjoying the summer nights. Throw in some steaks on the grill and my definition of heaven is almost complete.
