First time in awhile I had a beer that made me sit up because I liked so much was Give What You Have, a double-dry hopped IPA from Bissel Brothers using New Zealand hops. I gave it a shot because we drank good beer when we visited NZ. My regret is that I didn't buy more than a 4-pack.

What do folks like in a lighter beer (not a DIPA or Stout)? What are good lagers or pilsners? I'm not hop crazy. Or a lighter, easy to drink IPA?

Jack's Abby House Lager is excellent, and pretty cheap. Can't go wrong with most of their beers in that category.

They have/had a mixed box of Hoponius Unions and three Brau brews. One with citra, one with nelson and one with galaxy. Damned tasty.

It would be quite the trip, but if you want to stick to NJ breweries, head to Magnify Brewing in Fairfield. Good stuff.

Interesting...not that long ago, they were like a secret, not in stores, you had to track 'em down. You had to know when the brewer guy was releasing it, and go wait in line. Then, more brew places started having them, they're in most packies now and I haven't had one for maybe two years....

And the IPAs I'm drinking now, are much lighter than the IPAs I was into a couple years ago. Heavy Seas Hazy Cannon up next...
 
Bruery Terreaux sours for me. But it’s 70 degrees so still the temps for it.

how about Guinness equivalents? Low abv stouts...

Everyone has pretty much jumped the shark at this point with over-the-top smoothie style diabetes-producing fruited sours. They’re not even beer. But they are delicious. Skygazer and Transcend have perfected the style here in CT. But I’d rather drink a 3-year blend of mixed fermentation beer from a place like Kent Falls.

Interesting that Southington's Skygazer Brewery had a falling out. The brewer opened Transcend. The owners went to 12% in North Haven to brew as Skygazer.

Try not to but got caught in a situation where I had to pound two of them in about 5 minutes Saturday night. That was a tough task. I'm mean, obviously I did it, but I was not proud and my stomach was a mess.
 
Not sure if this can be had down south in CT but this one from Foam in Vermont is top notch. I'd call it an all day drinkable, but at 9.2% it'll be a quick day.

You're a trooper...downing two of those in 5 would be like if you poured a bag of zotz in your mouth and then just started chewing...but I get it, it's beer, you get it down.

Nothing wrong with a dessert wine.

100% Correct. Especially the Kent Falls stuff - they are knocking it out the park with those wild/mixed ones they're doing.
 
Great time of the year to talk Jack's Abbey. House Lager is good, but right now you can get their Red Tape amber lager. Great price ($10 for 6 tallboys), and my favorite seasonal release for this time of year. They stop selling it after the holidays
