Victoria's breweries and brewpubs have a slew of seasonal suds heading to liquor stores and draft lines across the city. Here are our favourites for summer:

Phillips  Brewing Co.

Raspberry Wheat Ale

This wheat ale is infused with raspberries and pours a deep ruby red colour topped by a frothy bubblegum-pink head and a nose that is sweet citrus raspberry.  Its light champagne mouthfeel is capped by a clean dry finish.  Pairs well with patios and sunglasses.

Vancouver Island Brewery

Flying Tanker White IPA

With the recent return of the 650ml Bomber bottling system to VIB, the summer is starting to look pretty refreshing.

First up is the Flying Tanker IPA, the first white IPA in Canada, which pays homage to B.C.'s historic Martin Mars water bombers. This unique twist on a traditional IPA delivers a full payload of hops with a floral, citrus nose, but is balanced with the smoothness of wheat malt. In quick succession, notes of coriander, grapefruit rind and lemon are also noticeable. ABV 6.8%.

Available in 650ml bottles.

Beachcomber Summer Ale

An unfiltered ale styled after a German Weiss bier, this easy drinking wheat beer pours a glowing golden yellow with the aroma of banana and notes of spice and tropical fruit.

Ingredients: a very unique strain of yeast from the Weihnenstephan brewery in Germany (the oldest continually operated brewery in the world). ABV 5.3 %.

Available on tap and in six-packs of 341ml bottles.

Driftwood Brewery

Belle Royale

The team at Driftwood decided to steer the Belle Royale in a new direction this year, incorporating it into their sour beer program. This season's version has spent a year inside used French and Appalachian oak wine barrels, undergoing lactic and Brettanomyces fermentation to produce a sour, funky, lightly oaked cherry delight. Expect to see her in 650ml bottles sometime this summer.

Lighthouse Brewing Co.

Tasman Ale

Tasman Ale is brewed with Tasmanian hop varieties Topaz and Summer, along with Motueka and Rakau from the Tasman region of New Zealand. Fresh and crisp, this copper-hued ale features distinctive tropical fruit characters, clean and light bittering and a soft malt body. Lighthouse Tasman Ale will be released the last week of June.
