Belt’s Beer Garden: Wheat of the Moment

Wheat beers are perfect for summer...they’re refreshing, easy to drink, and (usually) don’t have super high ABVs. Today I bring you two wheat beers from southern California, where it’s summer all year round.

Modern Times is nestled in sunny San Diego, California and has been crafting “aroma-driven, complex, flavorful, sessionish beers” since their inception in early 2012. They make a lot of one-off and special releases to go with their few mainstay beers. Sadly, for now you can only find them around southern California.

While visiting my sister a few weeks ago, I picked up one of their year-round beers, Fortunate Islands, which they call a hoppy citrusy wheat.
