This summer has been filled with spontaneous road trips, backyard parties with friends, and day trips to the coast. The warm summer temperatures have been perfect for grilling and spending time outside. This past week, we took coolers full of marinated  Kabobs and Bud Light Lime beer to the beach for a fun day with friends.

Bud Light Lime was the perfect beer for our spur-of-the-moment trip to the beach. The new sleek cans are a great alternative to glass bottles. Bare feet and broken bottles in the sand are never a good mix. This light beer has a refreshing natural lime flavor that is great for hot summer days. We spent our day at the beach swimming, playing beach volleyball, and grilling. It was great to catch up with friends, laugh about college memories, and enjoy great food and beer.

These  Kabobs are marinated overnight in Bud Light Lime and spices. Originally, our plan was to have a few friends over to grill for a low-key summer day. When we decided to completely change plans and go to the beach, we tossed the bag of marinated chicken into a cooler full of ice. Our spontaneous day trip wasn’t going to stop us from enjoying this delicious lime beer grilled chicken. The chicken is also flavored with red chili sauce, which adds a nice kick. If you are making this chicken at home, you can convert the marinade into a glaze. Boiling the marinade will make it safe to eat. In order for the chicken to cook properly at the beach, I cut the chicken into cubes and placed them on skewers. The skewered chicken cooks quickly and can be enjoyed without a knife and fork. We all had a chicken kabob in one hand and an ice-cold beer in the other. It was perfect for a party on the beach.

On the way home from the coast, we were already planning our next summer adventure before our big trip to New Zealand. With friends spread out all over the United States, we decided to squeeze in one last road trip before we left. The most fun and memorable trips are often the impromptu ones with little preplanning.

This summer, Bud Light Lime is bringing you the flavorful, refreshing twist of lime that will keep you ready for spontaneous fun all summer long. And now, the perfect beer for whatever happens invites you to click here to prove that you’re #upforwhatever.
