As summer gives way to fall, the leaves change on the trees, and so do the sports. Although this year it looks like the Rockies will be enjoying an extended summer (maybe ending with World Series games at Coors Field?), we just can’t contain our excitement for football!

Summer has been a long time coming, but now that it’s finally here, it’s time to enjoy your favorite summer activities. Whether you love hardball, hiking, or horticulture, it’s all better with a beer ready to hand.

But because of the way you enjoy them, summer beers are different from those you enjoy the rest of the year. And that makes it an excellent time to try out a few new selections to see if you find your new favorite.

If you’re just beginning to explore the variety of beers out there: boy, do we envy you. There are so many wonderful sights, smells, and tastes out there waiting for you—and you get to discover them for the first time! Nothing is quite like the first pour, the first smell, the first taste of a new beer.
