Summer is here in NC in full force: 100F today with added humidity making it feel like 107F. Time for a nice easy drinking refreshing lager. But not just your average everyday lager - how about something that tastes more like a west coast IPA but is lower ABV and easier to drink several of on a hot summer day?
