Pale Ale
Pale Ales and IPAs are becoming more and more popular, and rightfully so. Light, crisp, and full of flavour, they are the perfect beer to enjoy on a warm summer's day. Brewed with a variety of hops, which can lend them malty, fruity and floral aromas and flavours, Pale Ale can also have a slight bitterness that balances out the sweetness of the malt. A great pairing with loads of types of foods, including grilled meats, seafood, and salads, Pale Ales are an excellent choice for your next gathering.

Lager
Lagers are the perfect brew for any season, but they truly shine during the warm, sunny days. The beer of balance, lagers aren't overly bitter or malty, imparting a crisp, clean taste that's hard to beat. Lager Beer comes in a variety of styles and personalities, from light lagers to classic styles or Bohemian to rich and toasty styles, all ranging from light amber to darker-hued brews.
The must-try brands of Lagers this season are:
Pilsner
Pilsners originated in the Czech Republic in 1842. Golden or light straw in colour with a slightly bitter taste with floral or spicy aromas and a smooth, clean finish, Pilsner is among the most popular styles of lagers. Pilsners pair beautifully with tangy salads, crispy fish and chips, or hot smoked salmon or butter-basted chicken. So, whether you're celebrating a milestone or just after something to pair with lunch, reach for a pilsner.
Some top brands of Pilsner that shouldn’t go amiss this summer are:
Ginger Beer
Are you looking for a low* or non-alcoholic* beverage with a sweet and spicy vibe? Never fear, ginger beer is here. Usually less than 0.5% ABV, this sweetened, carbonated beverage boasts an intense ginger flavour and spicy kick. Zesty and fizzy, ginger beer is also the perfect partner in crime for elevating cocktails like the legendary Moscow Mule. At BWS, we've got a ginger beer for you. From lower sugar and preservative-free to classic alcoholic options to zero%*, we've got something to tantalise every taste bud.
