English Summer Ale
England isn't exactly famous for summer beach culture, but there are actually a few spots along the southern shore such as Bournemouth where palm trees grow. The Gulf Stream makes them much warmer than their Northern latitudes should be. The existence of this English Summer Ale style is another surprising fact. Crisp and grainy, grassy and peppery, with a splash of citrus and a refreshingly dry finish. So grab your shorts, sandals and Civil Life growler. Don we now our swim apparel, falalala-laaaa...lala...la...la.
