I don't really have any seasonal go-to's, though i am pretty fond of a good lager+cider snake bite. Usually spaten lager and samuel smith organic cider

Are you a sours guy on the whole, or does that one just stand out? Sours aren't my fav. I also despise the Lagunitas founder and his duplicitous bullshit.
Treehouse doesn't ship anywhere near me. Can definitely get behind the juicy hops in NE style pale ales though.
Never tried one, will have to give it ago if I end up with a pale lager and cider hanging around.

There's also Guinness + pear cider if that sounds better. Haven't gotten around to trying one yet.

I generally like sours yes though too many of them out there have an overwhelming amount of sourness now. Aunt Sally is more in the Berliner style, which I prefer and aren't as common around here, with an ever so slight hops note. It's one of the better balanced sours I can easily find; more tart than full blown sour.

One of my favorite local breweries made a gin&tonic beer... I haven't tried it yet but people are buying it out constantly. It's called Crazy Aunt: Crazy Aunt
Also, the second old family owned brewery in the US is a German Lager house, and they make the best pilsner I've ever had, and an amazing Hefe. Those are my summer crushers.
Also they just came out with an "ultra local" helles that I'm looking to try. Fort Road Helles - Schell's Brewery

I had Grimms Blackberry Orange POP! It was the best sour I've ever had. Somewhat hard to get here in NY, but if you can try it. I recommend doing so.

My new favorite summer beer is Flying Dog's Dead Rise. It's got old bay in it. Delicious, and you can actually taste the old bay so it's not just a gimmick. It's the perfect crab picking beer. Highly recommend for any old bay fans.
I think this was the most Maryland post to ever be typed.

Cigar city is finally distributing in NJ, so I can get jai alai without driving to another state. I also picked up a big bottle of Founder's Doom Imperial IPA aged in oak. I'm not usually a fan of IPAs in oak, but a few friends have been giving it a lot of praise. Not sure how long to age it, so we'll see.

Probably on the sweet/deserty side for some, but pretty damn tasty. Glad I have another bottle.

I went coffee-beer heavy Sunday night and thought I was going to kill myself monday morning when I made coffee...
Praire Bomb, Golden Coffee Lager (Insight Banshee Cutter), Founders Sumatra Mountain, followed by Founders Breakfast Stout.
What a world where I can drink coffee and get shithoused.

Don't bother. Cigar City is a shell of its former self and Jai Alai has gone to shit after they modified the recipe for mass distribution outside of FL.
I mean it was always a malty mess for an IPA, but now it's just overhyped garbage. There are so many better and cheaper IPA's to buy at a grocery store.

Quick scan of that list:
Get the Omnipollo Noa Pecan Mud Bourbon barrel aged, the Side Project Apple Brandy Derivation (definitely going to be a line for this one), and if you like sours the The Bruery's Taking my Talents to Anaheim is the Bruery collab of DFPF from J Wakefield.
