On a warm evening, after working in the office, working in the yard or just working out, nothing cools you down and quenches your thirst quite like a tall, cold drink. If you’re out and about, check out these summer refreshers at some of Carmel’s most popular brewery locations.

Patio Cat 

This Upland Brewing Company favorite is back! With its light body and minimal bitterness, Patio Cat “boasts strong flavors of citrusy tropical hops that are complemented by a succulent dose of guava.” This low-cal, sessionable summer ale is ready to hang out in the shade but also not afraid to run a little wild. Curl up with a can or find it on tap at Upland Carmel Tap House or Upland Brewing Clay Terrace. 

Sun King Pool Party 12-Pack

Lap Lane, Lager with Lime, is launching in time for the Olympic Swim Trials. Belly Flopper, American Wheat Ale, splashes any bitterness with a biscuity malt balance. Submarine Dreams, Lemon Shandy, is like the sweet tea of beers. And Piranha Party, West Coast-Style Pils, hops off the hook with just a bit of a bite. Pick up a Sun King Pool Party 12 Pack featuring these four warm-weather releases or find them on tap from time to time at Midtown Plaza throughout the summer. 

Pineapple Mango Fruit Bier

Bier Brewery maintains quality through the utmost control of each hand-crafted batch. New this year, the Pineapple Mango Fruit Bier is the perfect way to celebrate the fruits of your labor at the end of the day. Brewed with fresh pineapple and mango, it provides a fruity twist of flavors with a refreshing finish. Find it on tap or try it in strawberry.

*As always, drink alcohol responsibly and designate a driver. Or sip Sun King’s Non-Alcoholic Sunlight Cream Beer or Hopopolis Non-Alcoholic IPA.
