However, the craft beer interest across the country has inspired many of the national brewers to either create craft-type beers of their own, to purchase an interest in craft brewers, or to align themselves with these operations in order to diversify their product lines, and that is good for all of us. Most members will be forgiving if their favorite craft beer isn't on your list, but they'll be less happy if you don't carry the type of beer that they enjoy. A well-planned beer list will include a good selection of appropriate beer types, as well as a sound choice of specific brands. You need to have a good selection of them. Give some thought to flavored beers like the fruit-flavored lambics, especially when it's possible to serve them in a champagne flute with a fruit garnish.
Blonde ales are very popular and lend themselves to a fruit garnish.
I always like to make some specific recommendations for you to try, so consider these beers for your warm-weather list, as additions to your base list of Budweiser, Miller, Coors, etc. This should be taken two ways. Light beers are appropriate for warm weather and they are the type of beer that most people prefer, especially those who are just discovering the many pleasures of fine beer. Sure, you're always going to have a few members who want a beer in which a spoon will stand upright, but they'll always be the exception. The other way in which I mean 'light' is to keep it simple.
