Here at Charleston Beer Works, we like having options. That’s why we have more than 48 beers on tap every day! We’re highlighting a few of our favorite brews for you to try out and enjoy this summer.

These top 10 trending beer styles are sure to get your taste buds going:

AMERICAN IPA: With a golden, red amber color this beer is sure to provide a piney, herbal, and citrus flavor with hops as the shining star. An elevated bitterness also enhances this favorite.

AMERICAN LAGER: A generally very clean, crisp, and high carbonated straw golden color does very little in the way of malt of hop character.

AMERICAN WILD ALE: Although it’s commonly referred to as “sour” beer, with a range of fruit additions it gains a sweeter taste witch also creates a variety of colors.

NEW ENGLAND IPA: This top style has more of a juicy tropical hop flavor but without the bitterness. You’ll be sure to enjoy this hazy drink on even a sunny day!

BELGIAN WITBIER: An unfiltered ale with a pale, cloudy appearance due to the high levels of wheat has a crisp tang sweet taste from the coriander spice and orange peel combination. Garnished with a lemon or orange tops off this top 10 style!

STOUT: With a dark color paired with toasted malt this style has a roasted flavor. This flavor ranges from the bitterness of coffee to the sweetness of chocolate.

GERMAN HEFEWEIZEN: Starting with the roots, “hefe” means “with yeast” which provides a distinct banana and clove flavor with a cloudy appearance.

GERMAN PILSNER: This straw, pale colored beer style has a nice malt sweetness with a slightly elevated grassy hop bitterness.

AMERICAN BROWN ALE: With it’s amber to brown color, this roasted malt with caramel flavors has slightly more hop bitterness than the brown ale from across the pond.

MEXICAN LAGER: With the use of Vienna malt this lager has more of a malt character and more of a dry acidic flavor compared to an American lager taste. It’s light golden amber color fills the glass!
