Drinking a Shiner Smokehaus with pizza tonight... good stuff

 

I almost picked that up the other day. Was wondering how it was.

That stuff is weird.

 

Schlafly Summer Lager

they call it a "Helles-style" beer. never heard of that. tastes like a hoppy Bud Light. anyway, a good barbeque beer for the summer.

 

I've been drinking Sam Adams Summer Ale but I think I'm the only person who likes it as I keep hearing that it sucks and it's off the shelf at whole foods.

 

What does "off the shelf at whole foods mean? Are these people saying you can't buy quality beer at whole foods?

I think it's okay. I use to love Sam Adams, but there's a flavor in all of them that just doesn't taste right to me anymore.

 

I've lost my taste for beer!

I don't know how it happened but for a little whole now I go for a beer out of habbit vs. craving. Is this normal? Should I seek help?

 

I meant they are no longer on the shelf. They were either sold out or stopped selling it. I didn't see a place for the. So I think they stopped selling it.

 

Ah I gotcha now,lol. I doubt they stopped selling, prob just sold out.

 

Picked up tried and true Hoegarden. Great for the steamy Texas summer.

 

Now that is a great thirst quencher on a hot day !

 

Leopard Beer. New Zealand lager. No longer imported so I gave up beer altogether.

 

Possible THE perfect beer (for me) or close to it. Paulaner hefe weiss

Love it.

Victory is one of my new favorite brewers.

 

Was drinking some of that the other day.. It's one of my favorites

 

Victory Hop Devil to prepare myself for the river this weekend! Large consumption of alcohol.

 

Discovered this during a recent trip to St Louis; very tasty.

I love that stuff. Look for the Terrapin - Left Hand collaboration or midnight project named Depth Charge - awesome.

 

Goose Island 312 urban wheat ale

naming a beer after an area code = FAIL in my opinion.

but the beer itself is pretty good.

Anybody tried a Moinette Brune Belgian Ale? Picked up a bottle to sample on the 4th (which I will give a heads up on), but I thought I'd pick a few brains to see if anyone else had taken it out for a test drive.

 

Never heard of it. Let us know.

Been drinking nothing but Miller Lite unfortunately. Went to the river 2 weeks ago and over bought. Still have 15 or so left to drink.

 

I'm into the polish beer again this time ZUBR
I stray but always come back
Mmm (smacking lips).
