I spent a nice afternoon at the Nova Summer Brewfest in Leesburg and had the pleasure of sampling several beers, in mini pilsner glasses!  I ran into some friends, smoked a cigar, had some buffalo jerky and a chili dog.  What’s not to like?

Thankfully, one of the first beers I came across was the Smuttynose Summer Weizen – I also happen to have a bottle of this in the fridge too.  This was a nice, crisp wheat ale, definitely great for a hot summer day.

Down below the song of the day is the full published list of the beers that were allegedly on tap at the festival, and no, I did not sample them all. 

SSOTD:  Is this a summer song?  Don’t know.  But I heard it again today for this first time in a long time, and you should too.
