The whole "summer beer" category has undergone an upheaval in the last few years. Very suddenly, breweries started expanding the definition of summer beer to include super-sugary shandies, way-too-tart goses, and ultra-light fruited sessions. And then summer beers started to taste like, well, soda.

You can blame (or thank?) hard seltzer, which as an alcoholic beverage category has created a sea change in the beverage business. Those bubbly boozes, in their sleek cans, wrestled market share from craft beer and, as a result, some of those breweries, along with titans among the macro-beer world, started to crank out the stuff.

And then beer sort of got stuck in the middle, drawn-and-quartered between hard seltzer and its OG roots. Except that because there are still so many amazing craft breweries making so much incredible craft beer, that there are still a ton of delicious summer beers out on the market. You just have to look a little harder these days.

So we did the work for you. We sipped through the sessions. We pounded the pilsners. We puckered through the sours. And we explored some category-defying beers that could be the Next Big Style—and, who knows, maybe even a style that can topple King Hard Seltzer.

So whether you’re manning the grill or just mowing the lawn on Sunday morning, these are the 20-plus best Men’s Health-approved summer beers right now. Thankfully, there's still a whole lot to love.
