Blue Moon ... Isn't that a chic beer?
The kids all buy the lite beers because their objective is to guzzle a large quantity. They don't care how crappy it tastes. When they stock my downstairs fridge and then leave it there too long, I start to pour it down the drain to free up space. Those pinot grigio bottles that Sue likes the most take up room!
Just kidding, I like it, too, but mainly because Sue thinks it's OK. She doesn't like any beer that tastes like fruit or berries or apples or all that stuff that they spice it up with now. She'll drink Leine's sunset wheat or honey weiss. Coors (not lite)... there is a sentimental favorite of mine. Leinenkugel is my fav cause it reminds me of summer vacations in northern Wisconsin. I didn't drink beer then, obviously, but that's what they served all the adults when we sat down for meals. Cheap back in the 60's, but almost $10 per 6-pack now, I think. I don't buy enough beer to notice the price. I eat a $10 lunch far more often then I buy a $10 6-pack.

+1 for Blue Moon... blue label=Belgian White. but if you like a strong bitter beer, this one aint for you because its a bit sweet and smooth without the after taste.
and purchased in bottles only for the best taste. when its poured into a glass its impossible to "pace" yourself... its just too good!
as for the knot on the cleat, it looks relatively simple compared to some of the very complex knots ive seen, tied by some fairly simple people
actually Kermit avocado on butter toast is quite good ...tried it in australia about 10 years ago along with bbq ed roo sausage ummmm tasty
Did you try Vegemite? I had some in New Zealand and just plain couldn't eat it. I swear it tastes like a combination of axle grease, road tar and nasty stuff.
OK. Blue Moon is very tasty. I can only drink one beer or so before heartburn sets in. So, it has to be a good one. Blue Moon is on the list. If it's hot and humid, and I'm thirsty, I like a hoppy ale like (Surprise) Greenport Harbor Ale. Alas, most of you can't taste it because it's not distributed outside our area. But IPA's are usually great. And Scott, I totally agree with your Sue about artificial flavors in beer. It's beer - not Snapple! Give her a +1.
Same here on the one beer. I ruined the taste buds early in life and the second one never tastes as good as the first. But sometimes I go wild an order a beer sampler, six or seven different 2 oz. tastes can go down pretty smooth.

Ah, soooo many craft breweries, so little time to try them all. Saint Arnold's, Karbach, Middleton, Pedernales, Shiner, New Braunfels Brewing Company, Faust Hotel and Brewery, Real Ale, Twisted X and a host of other breweries. I've become a beer snob. I only drink Texas beer. Shiner makes a bock beer and a BLACK bock. Their White Wing rates right up there with Hoegaarden.
I like the lighter beers at Saint Arnold's. Can't quite get into the Elissa IPA. Karbach's Sympathy for the Lager is pretty good, also. Their Wise-Versa is a definite go-to beer. I just moved up into the Texas Hill Country and haven't started my brewery tour yet. But the wine tour is already in its 5th year because the wife doesn't like beer.
It doesn't hurt that there are 9 wineries within 30 miles of our new home.
I do loves me some Shiner White Wing, too. Didn't even know there was a white wing dove until visiting Bee Cave in Austin where the grandchildren are. White WIng is particularly good with a taco from Torchy's in Austin. Lots to love about Texas except that it's a two day drive from SC.
Right on! have a 6-pack in the fridge right now!Oh well, I guess I'll have to go back to drinking an AUTHENTIC sailing beer...Landshark.
Thats definately a landlubbers knot! Once that sucker is set it definately would take a hatchet to release it!
Blue Moon is my wifes favorite as well and she won't drink much beer otherwise. My favorite is beer. Being an ol' sailor/soldier what else can I say? Kinda like that other "stuff", its all good just some better than others! Chief
