German or Czech Style Pilsners
Depends on how many I want to have. 2 or less, give me a massively hopped IPA. Any more than that and it needs to be in the 5% range, but actually have some flavor which is what eliminates the macro lagers.

Blonde Ales
Pale ale for me. Calling it blonde is gay but you didn't have an option for pale.
I don't drink much beer anymore, but Mirrorpond has always been my go to when it's hot.
If I can't get a pale I'll usually settle for IPA. The drink carts at golf courses around here typically have about 4 IPAs, Coors, and not much else.

Sorry Chucky. I should have had Pale separate or "Pale or IPA".
In the land of Australia those have so many tasty pales that are like 4.4 percent. Totally sessionable.
Alas, Pils is still the king of summer time beer for me.

I don't drink much beer anymore, but will pound Pacifico or Modelo on a hot winter's day, in their home country. With all of the Banquet talk on here, I may have to explore it this summer. When I was growing into drinking age, Coors was not in Washington. After it came in, never had it around the house, as Pops was a union man…

Red Hook used to have a great Blonde. Kona’s is good. Birdsviews Ditsy Blonde is dangerous

1 Hard Cider, because it is tasty and you can pour it over ice. Does it count as a beer?
2 "light" or session IPAs
3 Mic Ultra
4 Miller Lite

Why does the month or weather matter? Good is good!

Whatever you can put a lime into.

You’re gross! Yuck.

I will still 100% drink those as an evening drink in summer.

I'd drink 'em for breakfast…
We have a VRBO on a lake in late June coming up for a five-day family reunion. My brother and I have both loaded up on pretty much nothing but huge BA stouts to pack along. Friend of mine delivered a care package of big stuff from Single Hill in Yakistan, and my brother just traded some rare sours for a whole boxload of Fremont bottles. It'll be a vacation to not remember…

Kettle sours are made for summer.
Of your listed options could have chosen Czech Pilsners but not German. IPAs also a strong contender.

Regular Strength American Adjunct Grain Lagers- e.g., Bud Heavy, Coors Banquet, Miller High Life, PBR, Rainier
I pretty much only keep my beer fridge stocked with Banquets these days hence it’s my go to.
If I’m out for a beer on a warm summer day, I’m taking a Mexican lager, a pale or an American grain lager in that order.

I was about to create and option for BA Stouts knowing this would be your selection but ran out of space.
I wanted to give @PurpleJ to the 40oz of Malt Liquor option.

Cheladas, bitches. Sol preferred though the Bud versions aren’t bad.
Except the mango flavored ones. Those are disgusting.
-

Cheladas would fit under the "red beers" option…

Light American Adjunct Grain Lagers - e.g., Coors Light, Bud Light, Miller Lite, etc.
Gotta go CLs if I'm having more than a few, though I usually want to start with a better taste to set the pallet tone. Actually had a keg of good blonde for a warm day on the dock Saturday and have 5-6 blondes but then my mouth woke up tasting like I ate a mix of cotton and Sour Patch Kids all night.

I don't enjoy Coors Light unless I'm on a boat (or sitting in an inner tube) on a very hot day. But it's probably saved me from a DUI or three in the past, not to mention you can't get a hangover off the stuff. So there are use cases for it from time to time.

This is 110% true and living back in Woolley I find myself in a ton of situations where I'm drinking a ton of beer all day and night so it's about the only choice. I was at a cold ass construction site a few months ago and my friend handed me a Luke warm Coors Light and it was legit maybe the worst taste of my life.

Not sure where PBR falls in that list - Rot Gut was not an option
-
German or Czech Style Pilsners
I was gonna put a category for you based on whatever is the retiree special-e.g., Kirkland Signature.

Pacifico, Coors Banquet, Shock Top.
thus is what I have been drinking lately.Shock Top is hard to come by down in Texas. So I buy the two six packs they stock.

This kinda sorta fits in this topic but I recently realized my daily beverage intake consists of the following in this rough order:
3 cups of black coffee
A gallon of water
0-10 beers
1 Gatorade on my nightstand for when I wake up with cotton mouth.
