As the summer temps start heating up, we start reaching for the perfect shower beer that’s easy, as well as refreshing.
We asked 15 friends, “What’s Your Go-To Shower Beer?” It turns out, they’re reaching for everything from your typical light lager (PBR) to a dark porter (City Lights Coconut Porter) — and yes, even a Milkshake IPA.
Here are your answers – you won’t believe some of them!
What’s Your Go-To Shower Beer?
- Space Dust, or Pseudo Sue, or any IPA – Kyle from San Francisco, California
- A good session IPA or Velveteen Habit – Mitch from Hartland, Wisconsin
- Any beer that is cold works for me. – Matt from West Bend, Wisconsin
- My knee jerk reaction is a PBR – Caleb from Milwaukee, Wisconsin
- A lite beer or a cold rosé. – Angie from Milwaukee, Wisconsin
- Something light, maybe a Sol. – Shelly from San Francisco, California
- Michelob over ice in my yeti! – Meghan from Milwaukee, Wisconsin
- Hop Happy or MKE IPA – Ryan from Mequon
- I can go two ways – a Double IPA for a hot shower and the coldest crisp lager in a cold shower on a hot day! – Nate from Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin
- I love a good Bud Light Lime in the shower! – Todd from Wauwatosa, Wisconsin
- Whatever is cold and in the fridge. I prefer something crisp and refreshing though, like a Modelo or a lager of sorts. – Brad from Wauwatosa, Wisconsin
- A Strawberry Milkshake IPA. – Dana from Pittsburgh, PA
- Bud Light because it’s crushable. I can have the whole thing in a 5 minute shower. It’s an accelerator to get to the next point of my day. – Matt from Saint Louis
- City Lights Coconut Porter. – Ken from Germantown, Wisconsin
- Spotted Cow – Jim from Brookfield, Wisconsin
It feels like we can learn a lot about ones shower habits based on their Go- To Shower Beer. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not. Oh well.
Thicker more decadent beers would suggest a longer more relaxed shower vs an ice cold light beer insinuates a quick boost and/or base to get the rest of your day or evening going.
