ON A hot summer's day, you can't beat a good refreshing pint.

But which beers serve the purpose best of all?

We asked several local landlords and brewers to pick out their Yorkshire favourites.

So here you go - 14 summer stunners from Yorkshire that really hit the spot.

Rooster's Baby Faced Assassin in cans - Three of our first six respondents picked this. "It's a really great single-hopped beer that's a bit too easy to drink," said Jason Hawkins. It goes brilliantly with barbecue food, added Shaun Collinge. It's beautiful and it's cold because it's carbonated, added Jamie Hawksworth from Pivovar.

Life's A Beach by Brass Castle and North Riding. - This is about to hit the bars. It's a wheat beer with mango, pineapple and coconut. Taste the tropics!

Bradfield Farmers Blonde is a great cask ale - pale and refreshing with a nice citrus kick.

Cascade American Pale from Bad Seed Brewery, on keg, was the choice from Gordon Howell from The Attic.

Timothy Taylor's Landlord. It's an old-school choice, but it is perfect for the barbecue, says Jason Hawkins - especially in a bottle. "It goes against the grain, but I love this beer straight from the fridge," he says. It's brilliant on cask too, says Jamie Hawksworth.

Saltaire Cascade Pale - "I'm loving it at the moment," said Paul Crossman, from The Slip, The Swan and The Volunteer Arms. "It's best on draught of course but is also delicious and widely available in bottle." He also recommends anything from the Mallinsons single-hopped range, including Nelson Sauvin, Citra and Galaxy.

Revolutions White Wedding is a raspberry saison, in cask. "It's superb and really refreshing," says Stu Neilson.

Wharfebank Ro Sham Bo in cask is a fruity, juice pale ale. It is really nice on a hot day, says Paul Marshall from The Rook and Gaskill.

So too is Great Heck Shankar, he adds. That one is a bold, hoppy IPA using 7 different hops.

And don't forget Great Heck's Citra, says @York_Ale_Guru on twitter - it's an easy-drinking, excellent thirst quencher, he says.

And Great Heck Chopper fits the bill perfectly, says Tom Renshaw from The Waggon and Horses. He's just ordered a load in. It's crisp, fresh and light with a quaffably moderate ABV - but doesn't compromise on flavour or character, he says.

And last word to Rob Speake, from the Duke of York in King's Square....

Brass Castle's Sunshine on keg, Bad Co's Comfortably Numb on cask and Atom's Camomile on cask are my best for summer, he says.
