Thank God it’s Beer Review Friday. I spent last night drinking Sierra Nevada’s Summerfest Lager and watching The Office. As usual, Michael Scott continues to amaze me. Anyways, on to the beer review. Hopefully you can include Summerfest in your summer getting-fucked-up repertoire.
While I enjoy a big aroma and a tangy hop bite, the best thing about Summerfest is the fact that it’s a pilsner-style lager that doesn’t come in a green bottle. Nothing tastes worse than a beer in a green bottle (i.e. Beck’s, Pilsner Urquell, Heineken, Stella Artois - all pilsners). Summerfest, on the other hand, doesn’t taste like shit. I could easily sit down and kick back a six-pack of these boys ($8.99 at the local mini-mart) without getting that pissy aftertaste in my mouth.
If you’re in to lighter summer beers, Sierra Nevada’s Summerfest is a beer for you. It’s nice and crisp, light and golden. It would be the perfect companion on a hot summer afternoon. Do yourself a favor and try it out. Don’t get me wrong, Sierra Nevada’s Pale Ale is still the king at the Sierra Nevada Berwing Co., but this is a nice seasonal with a generous 5.0% alcohol content.

Good point on the green bottles. Also, Sierra is relatively cheap and good. It’s what 8:30, let’s get to drinking.
