I'm with you, Kevin.  Although I don't drink beer very much anymore, when I did, I couldn't find any pairings that really enhanced either the beer or the cigar.

wasn't going to post cuz the subject was summer beers/cigars...but I find maltier beers like certain stouts and porters pair very well with many maduros. I just don't think most folks consider those to be "summer" beers.

But I don't drink beer nearly as often as I did when younger.

It definitely has a lot to do with the type of cigars you smoke.  For me, the best combination I found was a stout with a maduro.  However, I just don't smoke too many maduros anymore.

I'm pairing a Joya de Nicaragua Celebracion with Sam Smith's Nut Brown Ale and grately enjoying it. Both are nutty and the Celebracion has some nice creaminess to it as well. Neither one is too heavy for summer time consumption. Try it out and see for yourself.

I have found most Belgium beers, even the summertime variety, lean towards the heavier side when compared to American beers.  But I would recommend a Perdomo Champagne and if that is too light go to the Champagne Noir.
My favorite summertime release has been the Abita Seersucker Summer Pale
