For summertime refreshment, Exile Brewing nails it with beers like their Zoltan session IPA, left, and Cherry Bohemian sour ale, right.

Left, A big ole' mug of Colombian light roast at Java Joes Coffeehouse. It does not suck. Center, Love this stuff from San Pellegrino. Got this bottle from Graziano Brothers along with spices and tomato sauce. Right, A tallboy of Firetrucker Brewery's Brigade Ale goes down easy, especially at a bargain price of four bucks during Des Moines Social Club's Rooftop Happy Hour.
