Leinenkugel original for everything else: working in the garage, cutting grass, fishing, etc...

 

Since I live in Mississippi right now and can't get any of this local, once I run out of my mass stock of original I usually supplement with coors light until I can make another summer vacation run back up to WI.

Stop in Indiana... you can get it at any big grocery store.  Play golf a few days, drink the Leinies, re-stock, and drive home.

Have you had the Leinies - Summer Shandy?

Not yet but I'll make sure I try it next week when I get to Hayward, you're the third person to ask if I've had it so I'm assuming its definitely worth a try.  The worst part is that you can find their Berry and Honey Weiss (My least favorite Leinie's) in a few grocery stores here  but they won't stock anything else. 

edit* changed honey wheat to honey weiss 

Guiness.

Defiant - Local Brew

Dog Fish Head

Dog Fish Head make the Apricot Pale Ale iirc.

It was fantastic.

re: the Leinie's Summer Shandy.  It packs a bit of a lemon whallop.  Not overt or over the top, but it is part of the label and the packaging for a reason.  That said, it's rather mainstream and very drinkable to me.  If' you're a Coors Lite guy, and a Miller Low Life draft is a big reach, forget it.

But then you would not be this deep into this thread then would you?

George Killian's Irish Red. Can drink two with a steak or 12 during a Panthers' game...

Good all around beer, IMO. Not the best lager out there, but one of my favorite's.

Blue Moon Summer Honey Wheat

Ommegang Abbey Ale is what I've been pulling recently.  Have always liked Blue Moon and I'll get a Black and Blue once in a while at the bar.

nope I sure wouldn't. I will be stretched out on a dock in northern wisconsin this coming friday, hopefully consuming my first summer shandy.  If it's not to my tastes then i'll cross it off the list and then break out a leinie red.

DFH Aprihops was awesome stuff, I like it better then 90 minute honestly.  They should just brew that one year round!
