One of the best ways to cool down in hot weather is to enjoy ice cold summer beers, especially in a social setting with friends or family. Mill Street Brewing Company Brew Master Joel Manning recently visited the Trend Hunter office to discuss some of Mill Street's seasonal beers and the history behind their development.
The seasonal summer beers have a complex but smaller flavor profile, typically with a lower alcohol content as well. This is because such brews are typically intended for volume drinking and allow consumers to taste test and discover their favorite picks. This includes the hoppy Stargazer English summer ale, a lemon tea beer and the Belgian-style Ginger Cat.
Manning notes that craft beer, particularly in the summer, focuses on drinkability and adaptability. Mill Street enables this with intentional packaging.
