Grapefruit Lonely Blonde from Fulton Brewing: More than a few of my girlfriends, without my help, have discovered this totally tasty beer and mentioned it to me, one of them even declaring it “the beer of the summer.”

Fulton took its money-making flagship, the beer that’s on tap everywhere, and added grapefruit juice and zest to it. I love the idea of Lonely Blonde as a base beer for adding flavors, because I believe the reason for its popularity is that it’s just a really neutral beer.

The grapefruit here is just enough to make it extra refreshing, but not enough to make it taste like juice. If this is the beer of the summer, it’s gonna be a good one, friends. Look for it in retail shops everywhere.
