What is spring beer?
Spring beers are drinkable, refreshing brews that are perfectly enjoyed outside under the light springtime sun. They're not exactly a type of beer, like a Tripel or an IPA. Spring beers are more of a feeling!
How do spring beers reflect the characteristics of the season?
Spring beers often embrace lighter and more vibrant flavours to match the changing weather. They may feature floral notes, citrusy hops, or hints of fruit, creating a refreshing and drinkable profile.
What spring beer pairings complement spring food?
Pairing spring beers with lighter foods and dishes works well. Think salads, grilled chicken, seafood, or recipes with fresh herbs. Check out our beer and food pairings page for more recommendations or our Easter beer pairings article for more seasonal inspiration!
