@nate – do you brew any wit biers? Curious if you play around with the styles for the seasons – but it certainly makes sense to go the homebrew route if you’re cutting costs. I think your pal Micheal said the cost for him per bottle of homebrew was down to a ridiculously low amount (I forget exactly) but it might have been less than .25 per bottle? That’s serious savings.

I do stuff like that all the time…I would wait until it was 75 and sunny to drink this brew. I actually have not had too many wit beers lately. In fact, the majority of my drinking has been homebrew. It helps my wallet.

I actually enjoy a beer that has a good deal of particles suspended in it…just like I like my OJ full of pulp.

@Jim – true enough. I had a second go-round of The Poet (stout) from New Holland last week. I was glad I had it because it was sooooo much better than the bottle I reviewed here. I thought it was interesting how different the two beers were! Good beers any time of year!

I’ve also grown tired of summer beers and it’s not even July yet. My last beer purchase was mostly stouts. I have AC, so why not?

@Royce – you make a very good point there. In defense of Sunny & 75, I do think its a year-round beer and not just a summer brew. While true to style, I do think that this beer was a little more on the spicy side than others which in my mind set it apart a bit. If you like this style, I thing it a good one to get and forget about the random purchases! I also thought the Sierra Nevada Kellerweis was a big winner and a sure bet – but I do know what you’re saying.

I’ve gotta say, I’m getting pretty serious summer beer fatigue. All these beers taste the same! Brewers need to either A) do something interesting with the style, or B) hit an absolute home run with the standard flavor profile and mouth feel. If they don’t do one of those two things, then they risk that their beer will not be memorable.

This is also a question of palate; I am not personally a big enough fan of the summer styles to go out and keep buying any random summer beer over and over.
