For better or for worse, we are in the thick of Summer. For some, summertime is the best time of the year; beaches, bikinis, babes, hotdogs, cookouts, fireworks, summer love, no school, and family vacations! Some people, on the other hand (me) vehemently dislike summertime – and for completely solid, logical reasons; DISGUSTINGLY hot, humid (in our area, at least), outrageously high electric bills, preposterously high water bills (stupid, stupid grass) and the list goes on and on. The one thing that saves summertime from being the absolute worst time of the year is the amazing beers that roll out to quench that undying summer thirst.

There are tons of summer beer styles to choose from, and each style has uncountable offerings that are all delicious, satisfying and refreshing. We want to know – what is your favorite style to enjoy over the summer? Below we have 10 popular styles. Select your favorite one, and if you really want to go the extra mile, recommend us your favorite beer of that style in the comments below.
