With June now upon us and temperatures rising, lawnmower beers take center stage. And here 5 more essential “lawnmower beers” that you’ll be needing around now.
Ballast Point – California Kölsch
Ballast Point is known for their bright IPA’s but they also brew a great lawnmower beer and it’s available year-round.
Ballast point California Kölsch is a 5.2% ABV German-style Pale Ale that although a tad bigger than many hot weather beers remains amazingly refreshing.
Smuttynose – Vunderbar Pils
New England’s Smuttynose Brewing goes full-on Germanic with their flagship lawnmower beer and all we can say is “Das ist Vunderbar!”
Brewed with both feet proudly grounded in the European tradition Smuttynose Vunderbar Pils is a 4.9% ABV summer celebration that pairs exceptionally well with yardwork.
Hops & Grain – The One They Call Zoe
Summers run longer down in Texas, so Austin-based Hops & Grain Brewing’s lawnmower beer is brewed for endurance.
A slightly different take on the lawnmower beer, Hops & Grain’s The One They Call Zoe, is a complex and floral 5.2% ABV Czech Lager that’s crafted for fieldwork.
New Belgium – Whizzbang Hoppy Blonde Ale
New Belgium has just renamed what we consider their best lawnmower beer but it remains a dependable addition to any afternoon of heat and yard work.
New Belgium’s Whizzbang Hoppy Blonde Ale is yet another take on the summer afternoon beer, a 5.7% ABV brew with light sweetness, and a touch of sour that lingers a little.
