Gow many people remember “The Summer Of Love”?! (1967)
I do. I was just an adolescent, so change was a way of
life. (And what changes they were!) The summer’s soundtrack was the Beatles’
SGT. PEPPERS’ LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND. Johnny River’s song “Summer Rain” was a
tribute to “The Summer of Love”.
Cisco Brewers (Nantucket Island) capitalized on that phrase
with their “Summer of Lager” brew. It’s listed as a seasonal offering, but it’s
good enough to drink year-round. Check out their website ( www.ciscobrewers.com) for more info.
Even the lager’s label reminds me of 1967’s “flower power”!
“Summer of Lager” pours out a nice caramel brown and holds a
proper head. Its aroma is hearty and not overpowering. The same goes for its
malty taste: I found it to be quite satisfying! You can pair this 5.6% brew
with a variety of foods. (I often choose lagers with my foods! They pair very
well!)
Try a “Summer of Lager”…. And dust off that old vinyl LP of
SGT PEPPERS’ LONLEY HEARTS CLUB BAND too!
(Dare I say: “Peace, Hope and LAGER”?!)
Cheers!
