Much like the summer movie season, summer music festivals don’t really start after the equinox on June 21, but the need for crisp refreshment to accompany all those hot-weather marathon concerts certainly spikes along with the rising temperatures. In an effort to help you survive the heat and humidity, here’s a round-up of some of the best festival (and beach) ready canned adult beverages that are easy to carry and refreshing to drink.
Lila Bubbly Rose
Lila manages to pack in a lot bubbles—and taste—into their new one-liter Bubbly Rose cans. Sold in a four-pack, you get all sorts of elegant fruitiness (strawberry, passion fruit, a hint of citrus) without any cloying sweetness and loads of effervescence, which nicely disguises its 12% ABV.
Upslope Rocky Mountain Kolsch
This limited-release from Boulder, CO-based Upslope is brewed with Colorado-harvested honey and sage to evoke the flavors of the state’s expansive backcountry. The use of Mosaic and Lemondrop hops offer layers of bright citrus suitable to combat the hot summer sun—or to toast sunset at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheater.
Lawson’s Finest Sip of Sunshine IPA
The name of this double IPA evokes the season in all its sun-bathed glory. The brewery calls it “a tropical vacation in a glass” and we couldn’t agree more. It’s a bright floral bomb of citrus that’s dangerously drinkable. It comes in four packs—but proceed with caution. At 8% ABV, this one should be sipped with respect.
