What Beer Are We Drinking This Summer?

[Griff]

Better start the beating now. Budweiser bought them and is shuttering the Latrobe plant and moving to Jersey. Bud bought them because of the brand value. If you separate the beer from its roots you have no brand value... even an mba should get that.

the brewer of La Fin Du Monde, and Éphémère (the apple beer)

Thanks for that link, flint. After you mentioned that apple bier the first time, I got curious and looked for it at the same place I got that kriekbier (cherry). They didn't have the La Fin Du Monde, so I settled for the Lindeman's. I was dissapointed. It was way too sweet and it had kind of an artificial, Jolly Rancher smell. Sadly, this was one night after I had my first Lindeman's Kriek Lambic. It too had a pungent aroma of candy, and a too tooty-fruity taste. I like more bite, more sour. I know a store that sells the La Fin Du Monde and I'll check out that apple product tonight.

And stay away from those green-bottle high gravs! Just like Heineken or any other green-bottle beer, they skunk out after being in the light for a week or so.
