    I know a couple of people who graduated from the Beer University there. Also, the .5 liter mugs (with the handles) are good if you get in any bother with Brits on the Piss.

    I remember liking this too. I think I bought it because it was one of the cheapest hefeweizen singles at $entral Market... which means it's like 9 bucks.

    ayo, this is totally turning into a "What Beer White People Like"[/b] thread..."ohh this one is so good, but it's even better when you have it in europe".

    most of these beers, in no way exemplify the feeling of "summer" by any means. what do you fools do? sit outside in your gardens all summer reading books while disecting the taste of these certain beers? who here still rides for semi-cheap beers? sure you can have a nice hefeweizen with your meal on that date, but summer [to me] is really all about drinking the hell out of some Tecate, Modelo, Country Clurb, ect, and whylin out till 4am hollerin at breezewalds like you don't have work the next day.

    who's with me?

    I havent had one of these in years, but this thread reminded me of Summer of 92...after my final exam I bought a quarter-pound of smoke, and loaded the fridge up with 5 cases of these big boys:

    that was a great summer beer that summer...ahhh College.

    The quarts of Carta Blanca are OK, but what I really love is the Pacifico Ballena:



    You have to go to Mexico for these, I've never seen them exported to the US, probably because they come in a deposit bottle.

    Pacifico sons Tecate and pretty much all other Mexican beers in my opinion.

    Possibly so, but does it come in cans for less than $10 a 12-pack?

    if we're talkin' cheap beer that's a thirst quencher. I'm not ashamed that to rock


    in fact after a hot summer night in the kitchen...I'd rather have one of these.

    Up here in Oregon Tecate is surprisingly expensive, "imported beer" prices. Its like six or seven bucks for a six-pack.

    Plaese to recommend some good white ales/wheats/etc. to enjoy during the dog days of summer.




    I'm going to recommend a Belgian Saison. These usually come in a larger champaign looking bottle with a cork.

    Foret, Moinette, Moinette Brune, Saison Dupont, and Bier de Miel are all pretty tasty. If you are partial to having lemon in wheat beers the same works well with most of these.

    Buggin'!

    Hoegaarden is delicious, and octagonal glasses are not the intellectual property of IKEA.


    In other brews...

    Paulaner makes a good weissbeer.

    St. Bernadus does the Belgian white to perfection, IMO.

    Happy to see a couple of people repping Oberon.

    Yes! This also reminds me - It's about time that the geuze (a lambic variant) and Flemish sour ales got some shine. Though typically expensive, the traditional Belgian exemplars are just wonderful.

    Cost wasn't a factor when I made the recommendation. If people want cheap, then Tecate 12 packs are the way to go. The Belgian Saison ales are brewed/fermented in the Winter for the warmer Summer months, so that is why I recommended them.

    I am actually about to brew a Summer Saison in the next couple days to have ready in a few months when it is really hot in Texas. I use organic lemon zest and paradise seeds during the fermentation. The end result has a nice lemony aroma and flavor.

    Tsingtao!

    Pacifico is good.

    Yevisu is the truth.

    I guess I prefer Asian and Mexican beers.

    the funny thing is that when i peep out the window i can actually see the Weihenstephan brewery!
    the distance from my living room to the brewery is like 1000 meters... it's a small world!

    forget about all this mass produced little dude beer stuff!



    me and my flatmates just started the semi-professional homebrew business last week with this joint





    we are now able to brew 20 l of any type of beer we want every day (summer beers included), depending on the availability of malt & hops.

    you can buy these in LA along with the gordo regias and tecates.

    Seriousness please. Enjoy your over-flavored, under-bodied swill.

    Cosign.....in the winter I like a Chimay once or twice a week....in the summer I like to splurge on a Bitburger Premium....but for the most part, a MHL will do the trick after a ball game or fishing in the hot sun.

    Most of the guys I play softball with drink Budweiser after the game.....last week one guy brought a case of Busch and took a bunch of heat about it.

    Then one of the black dudes on the team came to his rescue and said "It may not be the best......... " B[/b]ut U[/b] S[/b]ave C[/b]ash H[/b]omie"
