Five Summer beers – three colourful cans and two bottles lined up

A can and a full glass of Vault triple fruited mango sour beer

Bruha East Anglia Lager, £25/12 pack, bruhabrewing.co.uk

A pilsener-style lager from East Anglia using Amarillo and Cascade hops, this is winningly crisp and chuggable. A great everyday beer.

Sober Brummie, £2.50/330ml, birminghambrewingcompany.co.uk

We were really impressed with this award-winning 0.5% pale ale. Triple hopped, it's absolutely rammed with bold citrus and piney flavours that makes for one of the best non-alcoholic beers we've tried.

People’s Captain Legend APA, £20.99/6 pack, peoplescaptain.co.uk

A classic American pale ale with a piney, citrus kick, this is great served with spicy summery food like tacos or kebabs. A percentage of each beer sold also goes to the People's Captain Foundation to support mental health initiatives.

Beavertown Space-Born Lo-Cal Hazy Pale, £2.25/330ml, beavertownbrewery.co.uk

Lower-calorie beers are often bland lager-type affairs so this juicy, fruit-packed hazy is a welcome lighter addition to summertime drinking. A perfect BBQ partner.

Fourpure Citrus Session IPA, £2/330ml, fourpure.com

Fourpure’s whole range has undergone a summer makeover. This crisp, refeshing IPA (previously known as Easy Peeler) packs in the citrus fruit for a light and lovely thirst-quencher.

Signature Brew C-Sharp Sicilian Lemon & Citra Sour, £3.15/330ml, signaturebrew.co.uk

A slightly hazy, beautifully crisp sour that doesn’t tip over into mouth-puckering, C-Sharp Sicilian Lemon & Citra Sour balances the lower acidity and perfume of Sicilian lemons with crisp Citra hops. A perfect intro to the sour style, this is a tart summer refresher. Check out more sour beers to try.
