It is officially my favorite season; beers on the deck! I absolutely love summer and being able to drink outdoors. Even more lucky for me with the influx of craft breweries there are so many local ones that offer outdoor patio seating. One in particular is New City Brewery of Easthampton Mass. (Facebook)
For the longest time I just couldn’t get myself to love New City. Don’t get me wrong it is a super cool tasting room and the outdoor patio is super nice, especially over the years it’s expanded and grown. However I just wasn’t a fan of their beers. They had a lot of different varieties but in a baby and they were just all so strong. I did enjoy some of their stouts but I could only drink a small glass of it.
Despite that fact I kept going back because of the awesome atmosphere and my boyfriend really enjoys their IPAs. Then just recently they released several new more wheaty and summer style beers and now I am obsessed!
Introducing the Millside Pils:
So I saw them post about this on their Facebook page and I think went the next day to try one. Four beers later I was absolutely not disappointed. This is super light in body and is the epitome of a Pilsner. It is the absolute best summer patio beer and I highly highly recommend a try. They also just got a canning line and now sell these in can packs to go (bye bye money).
While there I also suggest their summer beer if they happen to have it on tap or their other new beer the Bramble Weisse Sour (another easy summer drink at only 3 something percent). When I go back several more times this summer expect another post on each of these yummy favorites.
Anyways again I recommend a little jaunt down to New City to try a few of these wonderful creations, or even get a flight and try some of the darker or IPA beers if that’s your style.
Until next time;
Sláinte
