Craft breweries, locally and elsewhere, tend to take pride in developing complex beers—be they heavy, fruity, syrupy, puckery, what have you. But some of us—most of us, I suspect—want stuff that tastes like … beer. That’s Beach Blonde Ale, which is tad bolder than, say, Bud Light, and has a whole lot more character. You can easily drink more than one BBA. Hell, you can drink a half dozen if you’re so inclined. (Try that with a chocolate stout.) You can get this easy-drinking brew in cans on most local store shelves. Even better: It’s available on draft in many restaurants. Also: kudos to the sly pun in the name. 3dbrewing.com
