There's nothing more iconically summer than the humble barbecue. And while classics are classics for a reason (looking at you, favorite potato salad), you've been known to give your grilling menu a few unexpected spins. So why not do the same with your whole BBQ vibe?
This season, give your everyday backyard bashes a bit of pop with colorful linens, quirky takes on functional essentials, and creative additions to your grilling lineup. Imagine flame-broiled peaches (or any other stone fruit), charred jalapeños (for some kick), and grilled romaine (served with a tangy dressing). The one thing that goes with all of them? A frosty beer — specifically, Stella Artois, because you can't have a stellar barbecue without a crisp pilsner.
