The last couple days of sun and ight breezes have great for getting yard and spring work done around the house with time left yesterday for a fire and a beer . The beer whole we waited for the fire to burn down enough to cook our dinner brats. Neither of us drink much but I actually had 2 beers. While shopping earlier in the day I found a Shiners Strawberry Blonde beer. 6 pack. I came home with me and I have to say its a pretty decent beer to enjoy one of. I couldn't drink it all day but for a simple evening beer its darned good. But Shiner beer is not new to me.
A few winters ago Ma and I got tired of snow so we drove down to San Antonio for a week and spent our time walking the River Walk and checking out the Alamo. We loved the history of the area. One the River Walk we stopped at Dick's Last Resort for dinner one evening and they suggested Shiner Boch as a sort of local beer and the stuff was great. They sell it locally here along with several other of their trendy beers but its the Boch that I call a favorite beer and when I saw the Strawberry Blonde, I had to try it.
With our cabin property lying about 30 miles north of Duluth, Minnesota, just outside of Two Harbors we enjoy Castle Danger brewing's Castle danger Ale. The brewery is headquartered in Tow Harbors and we visit the tap room several times a year on hot summer days. Last year they offered for the first time a Strawberry Wheat beer. It wasn't a bad beer but just slightly too "hoppy" for my tastes. Flavor wise the two strawberries are very close in flavor with the strawberry there but not overwhelming. We, as a rule, will have the Danger Ale on hand thru the summer months, but it can be seasonal so the winter months it can be a tough find.
WE have family and friends in west central Wisconsin too that we see several times each summer and we stop a couple times during that time frame at the Leinies Brewery. They have interesting beers there too , lots of summer fruit beers to try. Ma enjoys the grapefruit one but I personally find the Dark and Creamy a superb cold beer so I usually have a six of those handy too here at home.
Craft Beweries have filled the beer market with so many different styles and flavors of beer any more that it can be tough to call just one a favorite. I like good bourbon too but enjoy about a shot of one of the five labels I have in the shop about once a month....just to sip while I work on my tackle endeavors. It was last year that someone mentioned favorite whiskeys and bourbons and that thread got interesting. So to play off that, what are some of your favorite cold foamy drinks?
