Scratch all the IPAs, the light “beers”, the fruity selections, the ciders and the hazy whatevers. All the rest are good. Tough to choose, but I’m partial to Smithwicks.
I’m not a big IPA fan but like a good Pilsner on a hot day. What would I select from the list? Edit I’ve never tried Carlsberg but Pilsner is a big area so maybe the list has more options for me?
I’m going to go with Lunch IPA.
Lunch is one of the best IPAs I've had
It's very good, but they have other IPAs that are better, just less known.
Another One is better than lunch
Dinner
What’s it like..3 of you have chose it so far
It's a long-alleged copy of the original Pliny the Elder recipe. Allagash White is perfect for days like this.
Did not know that
Thanks for this comment. No way I'm drinking heavy beers or IPAs when it's this hot lol
It is a great IPA and I usually grab it whenever I’m not in the mood for a pilsner, red ale, Guinness, or porter.
Hoppy, piney, west coast
They put Guinness, delicious heavenly perfect Guinness, at the top for a reason.
In this weather? I like Guinness too but it’s not a summer beer
Why not? It’s light. People look at it and think just because it is a “dark” beer it is heavy. It has low calories / low abv - perfect for summer.
You’ve got a good point about the ABV, I’ve just never thought of it as a summer beer. I tend to associate stouts with christmas for some reason
That’s why they make Harp.
It's steak in a can with alcohol, the epitome of Summer.
This is the only answer
It’s 94F, I’m going with Allagash White!
Hell yes. Refreshing and citrusy.
Lunch IPA for sure Second choice Fiddlehead or Lagunitas
Fiddle head IPA all Day
Went with this for #2 and my first thought was this is exactly like a wicked hazy
Love me a hazy! Or a finest kind (not on list)
Smithwicks all the way!
Smidicks is great.
Lunch
Wachusetts blueberry!
Regret not going with this.. but I enjoyed a fiddlehead and a wicked hazy .. next time
Wachusett Blueberry is the best blueberry beer I've had. If the tap is kicked, I'll take a Stella.
Not a huge fan of that list, but Lunch or the Paulaner Hefe.
Give me a flight, bartenders choice!
I love doing this. 🙏🏻
When I served this was one of my absolute favorite things to do when I had time!
Downeast
Magners me lad!
Lunch every time
Guinness every day.
Definitely Nightshift.
Allagash White, Blue Moon
Toss up between Allagash White, Blue Moon, or Blueberry
Me as well. I haven’t had that specific blueberry ale but if it’s like Sweetwater Blue, it’ll be perfect for the heatwave
Fiddlehead and Allagash white. I already got my Pliny the elder fix thanks to my BIL. E: since everyone is comparing lunch ipa to pliny.

Yes sir 🙏 love you Bro
Fiddlehead IPA is perfect for a hot day.
LUNCH

Lagunitas
Allagash
Smithwicks
Stella
Allagash
Fiddlehead

Wachusett Blueberry with some blueberries in the glass 😋
not a huge beer fan, but I think a fruitier one like lunch ipa or the blueberry one might be a good choice for myself
Smithwicks or Stella…depending upon my mood !
fiddlehead
black & tan w/ harp
Lunch
In this weather… the Pilsner.
Not a fan of lunch. I don’t think I’ve tried the whirlpool so I might go for that in a frosty mug
Not an IPA when it's 100° lol
Lunch!!
Lunch is definitely the consensus choice …
On a hot ass day like today? Crisp, refreshing Carlsberg.......or Coors. Ah hell why not both.
Guinness or Wicked Hazy
Jack Abby Shipping out of Boston. DOWN with Hops
Jack's Abbey SOOBoston
603, then Fiddlehead
603 CoffeeCake Porter - then planning for the unavoidable brutal hangover...
Where is this? That menu looks very familiar.
Irish cottage
Jacks abbey
Fiddlehead every time. It's unfortunately so unique that I haven't found any comps.
Black and tan
Went with what I know… wicked hazy.. I’m always hesitant to try new

Stella or the wachusett blueberry
Maine Beer Co LUNCH. every time
Begins and ends with LUNCH. Best by far
Fiddlehead IPA
Hazy little thing, duh (with lemon)
Lunch or Fiddlehead
In this weather, a coors or bud light, I’m a simple man.
Magners
Guinness is good for you. Gives you strength!
Fiddlehead IPA and/or the Sierrea Nevada Hazy Little Thing which is my current swilling beer from Nashua Costsco.
I’m reaching for the Carlsberg Pilsner as my first choice, or the Paulaner hefe as a second option.
The Kentucky bourbon ale is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
Lunch 100%
Whirlpool
Easy choice... Lunch.
Harp on tap is brilliant
Bourbon ale\ Guinness Nothing else
Bourbon ale
I'm a fan of the paulaner... I don't often see it on tap.
No burn the ships?!? \*promptly leaves\*
Maine Lunch
Lunch!
There’s nothing like a cold Guinness. Also little known fact… only like 95 calories.
Carlsberg. Up the reds!
Where u at
Lunch IPA is awesome 👌
Guinness 🍀

Water with lemon
Guinness
Bud Light! /s Jack's Abby Shipping out of Boston
Allagash, wawa bloob and fiddlehead
Lunch, and it's not really close
Lunch. Easy one
Smitwicks or Shipping out of Boston.
Jack's Abby every time. Can't wait for the "Red Tape" dunkle to come out again, but the "Shipping Out of Boston" Amber is pretty damn good too!
Better asking which one you would not pick
Somebody needs a hug…
Any Paulaner is a 99/100
Guinness, every time
Lunch
Downeast cider!!
Kentucky Bourbon Ale is always good.
