Beer City: Smokey lager at Attic Brewing Company

The take: Two's Daze is a lager that's satisfyingly malty and has a super smokey taste.

• It transports you to a backyard wood-fired barbecue — or an afternoon with a Canadian wildfire air quality alert.
• $3.50 for a 6oz glass, $6.50 for a pint; $16 for a four-pack.

Be smart: This amber brew is a great addition to a beer flight to mix up with lighter, more summery beers.

Of note: Two's Daze is a collaboration between Attic and Two Locals Brewing Company, the latter of which will be Philly's first Black-owned taproom and brewery when it opens later this year in University City.

Runner up: The Cloud Lines was recently added to the menu and is a traditional, dry hopped light pilsner that's easy drinking — especially when the temperature gets into the 90s.

• Attic fermented the brew in oak barrels, adding a hint of floral notes.
• $3.50 for a 6oz glass, $6.50 for a pint.
