Talk about small independent brewers, imports, etc. Talk about major domestic breweries is unacceptable!

I'm originally from PA and I moved to Cali last August and moved back to PA in April. I've only found one bar in my town that carries Fat Tire and they don't always have it. I feel like a junky and need it. It was all over the place in Cali.

I've had it once but it's made my top 3 beer list.



My other two would be:






Sam summer isn't the best of beers but there is something about it that I like.

Brick Brewery is my home brewery.



For financial reasons, I have to Make 'Er A Laker.

Laker is possibly the worst beer I have ever tasted. It is honestly the worst beer ever known to man. If you go for a buck a beer get Lakeport, at least it isn't as ****** as Laker. God dammit dude, never make er a laker. The jingle is catchy though, make er a laker, just a buck a beer! haha.

Laker is my 2nd favourite value-brand. I hate Lakeport, almost as much as I hate Carling. Worst beer is probably Bavaria though.

yeah, i like the leine's. not my favorite wisconsin micro (see Lakefront Brewery), but very good.
-Sunset Wheat is my favorite Leine's brew and my favorite Wheat beer of all time. they hit it right on the head for that one.
-But, they just put out a new summer beer called Summer Shandy. it is beer with a lot of lemon flavoring. it is waaaaaaaaay better than i thought it'd be when i heard about it. perfectly blended summer beer. tastes like the perfect combo of beer and lemonade.
-Leine's Honeyweiss is kinda their flagship. i think they kinda sold out on it recently and are using less honey. still decent though.
-Leine's Berryweiss is another fruity wheat beer. chicks love it.
-they are now marketing the idea of mixing leine's honey and leine's berry. calling it "Leinenkugel's Honeyberry" they don't sell it specifically. the drinker needs to buy 2 6-packs and mix it on their own. it is very good. i like the sum better than both of the parts.
-Leinies Creamy Dark is exactly what it sounds like. it's worth a try, but if you want a dark beer, you can do better.
-Leines Red-GREAT red beer. my second favorite in the Leine's line.
-then theirs original and light, which I'd never buy.

They have something called the Adventure pack but we aren't totally sure whats in there. We think the Red Lager, Creamy Dark, Sunset Wheat, and Weisse.

Drowe, I used to respect you. However, upon learign that you think lene's sunset wheat is their best beer I may have to rethink that. That crap tastes like my seven year old sister's room/ meets frutie pebbles with all that fruity crap. Anyways, Beer is for amatures/sundays/sporting events. DRINK WHISKEY!

My favorite beer that I have when I can find it is Baltika:



There are 9 varieties. My favorite is the #5, which is a honey wheat, and #6, which is a Porter. #9 is a standard ale, and #4 is a dark ale. Those are the 4 that are generally available stateside.

Don't forget Leinie's Apple Spice. I buy a couple cases of that stuff every fall when they release it. Perfect for sitting around the fire and sipping on a cold night.

Sam Adams is a domestic brewer, but they have an impressive array of beer. I think they are fantastic because all of their stuff is quality, and if you like beer, you can find a Sams for you. I love Sams Summer and Oktoberfest.
