Summer Sippers: Easy-Drinking Beers to Beat the Heat at Stable Craft

Your go-to Waynesboro Brewery for chill vibes and crushable pints

‍

‍

When the Shenandoah summer hits full throttle and the mountain breeze turns into a full-on heatwave, you need one thing in your hand: a cold, easy-drinking beer that doesn’t weigh you down. Luckily, here at Stable Craft Brewing—the local Waynesboro brewery with views as refreshing as our beer—we’ve got just the lineup to help you stay cool, relaxed, and maybe just a little buzzed in the best way.

Let’s talk summer sippers—the beers that go down smooth, pair with everything from BBQ to river floats, and won’t knock you out after one pint. Here are our top picks to quench your thirst without wrecking your vibe:

‍

💡 Lightest Beer Ya Got

This one’s exactly what it sounds like: crisp, clean, and stupidly drinkable. It’s a no-nonsense light lager that’s perfect for the friend who says “I don’t really like craft beer” but ends up finishing yours. No hops overload, no fuss—just pure, golden refreshment that hits the spot after mowing the lawn or surviving a group hike.

‍

🫐 Blueberry Blonde Ale

Fruity, but not too sweet—this beauty is the summer anthem in a glass. With a gentle blueberry aroma and a smooth blonde ale backbone, it’s the kind of beer that makes you want to sit a little longer on the patio and soak up the sunset. It’s light enough to drink two (or three), and flavorful enough to make each sip feel like a treat.

‍

‍

Fish Bowl Sour

Ready to switch things up? Our Fish Bowl Sour is tart, tropical, and totally unexpected—like a sour candy for grown-ups. It’s electric, playful, and seriously refreshing. If you’re into bold flavors and want something that dances on the palate without knocking you over, this one’s your poolside bestie.

‍

👣 Tiny Footprint California Common

Sitting somewhere between a lager and an ale, this balanced brew brings caramel malt vibes with just a touch of hop character. Tiny Footprint is a nod to sustainability, but it also happens to be the perfect pairing for grilling season. It’s got enough depth to keep beer nerds happy but stays easy-drinking enough for an afternoon session.
