Jimi Hendrix would definitely give this fruit-fueled lager from Abita a double thumbs up. Taking its name from the purple hue that the raspberries added to the brewing process after filtration imbue this beer with, Abita’s Purple Haze combines vanguard hops and wheat malts with the natural sweetness of raspberries. The result is a refreshing, different lager that’ll appeal at any and all beer palettes, regardless of how refined or experienced they are.

Made with a naturally balanced mix of lemonade and beer, this brew was designed to be sipped and savored at barbecues, get-togethers, and beach parties and to be enjoyed long after the sun has dipped below the horizon. A traditional Weiss beer that’s been given a lemonade twist, this Summer Shandy is according to Leinenkugel, and we’d probably have to agree with them, a perfect Summer beer.

Budweiser has always referred to their products as the King of Beers, and it’s not hard to see why, as they’ve been brewing America’s Number One beer for nearly one hundred and fifty years. So how can you make this light, refreshing yet surprisingly hop-laden lager even better than it already is? If you’re Anheuser-Busch, you take a leaf out of Corona’s book and add a lime kick to your brew that gives it a little extra zing and zest. Bud Light Lime is an ideal way to refresh your taste buds when the temperature starts to rise and Summer comes knocking on your vacation door.

Blue Moon, which first rolled off a bottling line in nineteen ninety-five in Colorado was the beer that first brought Belgian beer to the attention of mainstream America. It might say Blue Moon on the bottle, but it’s actually been brewed by Miller-Coors and was one of their first forays into the world of craft beer. Using Valencia Orange Peel to give it a hint of sweetness, Blue Moon has a slightly peppery, spice-laden taste that makes it ideal for sipping with friends while you’re waiting for the burgers and hot dogs to cook to perfection on the barbecue. If you want to keep pace with the hipsters without drowning in a sea of unnecessary hop-heavy information, Blue Moon will give you the key to the beer kingdom.

Raspberries aren’t everyone’s fruit of choice and sometimes they just won’t deliver that sweet fruit hit that you’re looking for. Abita knows this, and that’s why, as well as brewing Purple Haze, they made their own strawberry lager. Adding the juice if freshly squeezed and pulped Louisianan strawberry to their lager after filtration, imbues it a natural sugary sweetness, that also adds a little extra color to this incredibly refreshing beer. It’s unlike any other beer you’ll drink, and it’ll help you make the leap from the world of hard seltzer into beer with a couple of sips. And once you’ve tasted it, you’ll never look back.
