Lean but not especially mean, this highly quaffable sour from Tucson-based 1912 Brewing Co. takes its name from the Spanish slang toma güey, or “take that, dude.” True to its word, the beer delivers a clean punch: tart but not pucker-y, with jabs of lime zest and crisp apple courtesy of Ekuanot and Citra hops. Known for his preoccupation with fruited beers, owner and brewer Allan Conger takes a more austere route here. No fruit. Just a refreshing, faintly wheat-y German gose perfect for the triple-digit crucible that is an Arizona summer. Take that, heat. Available at Arcadia Premium and other specialty beer stores. 1912brewing.com
