If there is one equation that I have figured out all on my own, it's that summer = drinking beer. On the beach, at the cottage, in the hospital, wherever, a beer is most appropriate to quench that summertime thirst. This article has been one of my favourite due to the in depth research involved in choosing the best beers of the summer. I apologize in advance to the editor for the spelling mistakes and excessive amount of swearing. My method of mayhem was to go to the LCBO and buy as many different beers as possible. I have stumbled upon some that have now become my choice of beer for the summer.
10.) Coors Light - Brewer: Molson - Type: Light Beer
At four per cent, the "Silver Bullet" goes down quite easy. The great part about Coors Light is the amount you can consume without feeling like a bag of garbage. I find these go great after a sports outing. Although the "sport" of beer-league softball is debatable, drinking after the game is a reality. In 2006, Coors introduced the temperature indicating label. However, if you are too drunk to notice if your beer is too warm or cold, you should see a physician.
9.) Corona - Brewer: Cerveceria Modelo - Type: Pale Lager/Cerveza
Prove to the world that Swine Flu ain't got nothing on you by purchasing a beer that is produced entirely in Mexico. Currently, Corona is among the top selling imports in Canada. This beer is truly reserved for the summertime on the beach. I recommend the full experience by adding a lime wedge to the bottle and drinking several of them from a steel bucket.
8.) Niagara's Best Blonde - Brewer: Niagara's Best Beer Ltd. - Type: Ale
This beer is brewed right in our backyard and has won numerous awards at various beer tasting competitions (I would love the chance to be invited to one of these). The beer is well balanced, with some initial malt flavour, ending with a smooth finish. In the worst-case scenario, you can go home with the blonde on the bottle at the end of the night … SCHWING!
