I'm currently drinking Tusker Lager. Not bad, but I'd love to have a Franziskaner Hefeweizen or a Andechser Hefe right about now. I love liquid bread. :D

Drank a bunch of Highland Gaelic Ale last night with FirstShirt. Highly recommended if you can find it. It is a year-round beer from Asheville, NC

Bear in mind that this beverage will cause you to associate with low companions, who may lead you astray.

That said, it's a really good beer! Thanks for pointing me to it!!!

You guys do know the Stone Brewery near Carlsbad, CA was evacuated due to the fires.

Tried the Sam Adams Summer Ale this weekend, while standing over the outdoor kitchen. Nice, light beer that has a citrus finish. (No, not a "light" beer like the swill marketed as Light Beer). I thoroughly enjoyed it.

That would explain why the Stone IPA vanished from Costco..

Estrella lager. Not the finest beer around, but at the equivalent of $1 for a six pack it's highly cost effective.

Makes a nice shandy when mixed with gaseoso, which is a soft drink that is difficult to explain. It's like a weakly flavoured lemonade. Not too nice on it's own but a good mixer.
