Wash down some Boar's Head hot dogs with tastings from six light, summer-themed beers. Come early to truly enjoy the experience.

Beers included in this week's tasting:

Great White Belgian Style
A crisp beer with a hint of citrus, made with two-row malted barley, unmalted wheat, a secret blend of Humboldt herbs, crystal clear mountain water and ale yeast.

AlleyCat Amber Beer
A full-flavored amber ale made with roasted caramel malt. Richly colored and medium-bodied, AlleyCat is an assertive blend of malts with a sprightly cascade of hops.

Purple Haze
Purple Haze is a crisp, American style wheat beer with raspberry puree added after filtration. Therefore, you may see raspberry pulp in the beer. The raspberries provide the lager with a subtle purple coloration and haze, a fruity aroma, and a tartly sweet taste.

Mac's Ale
In his 80-plus years, brewery patriarch "Mac" MacTarnahan won more than 50 World Master gold medals in wrestling, steeplechase and distance running. So it's no surprise that his Amber Ale - in its debut year - captured a coveted gold medal at the Great American Beer Festival. MacTarnahan's Amber ale is dry-hopped with fresh Cascade hops from the great Northwest. That's what gives Mac's its crisp, complex flavor. When beer lovers say "Gimmee a Mac's!" it's understood they want a great-tasting, smooth-drinking ale.

Summer Solstice Cerveza Crema
Welcome to the Summer Solstice! This copper colored ale is smooth, malty, and lightly sweet, with a delicate hint of spice for that oh-so-drinkable, extra velvety flavor. The character is lighter in body than its cousin, our wildly popular Winter Solstice Seasonal Ale. This is a silky, creamy dream, perfect as a warm weather beer. But why call it Cerveza Crema? Two reasons: One, this beer has become a favorite among many of our Hispanic friends, so it's named in their honor. Two, it sounds cool, and cool is what you want when its hot. Serve at 40 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit for the most optimal flavor and enjoyment.

Red Seal Ale
Malt and hops are beautifully married in this full-bodied, copper-red Pale Ale. Red Seal is generously hopped for a long, spicy finish. An excellent accompaniment to grilled meats and rich sauces.
