Where my summer beer lovers?

[bcarp30]

Oh man I am so glad I'm not pregnant this summer! That looks so good!!

[jeaniebueller]

That actually sounds good.

[darnkatz]

Mmmm watermelon. I need to find this and the grapefruit.

[noodleskooze]

Is it really sweet? I like the grapefruit one because it's more tangy than sweet.

[greycat]

MH will love that!

I'm going to have to buy all the summer beer I love to drink after August.

At least I time my pregnancies around pumpkin ale season?

[glitzy07]

Must find! I live in Leinenkugel's neighbor state, so I have to assume we'll have it here.

Stock up ahead of time for sure! I delivered my daughter at the end of August and dispatched my husband to stock up on summer beers for me a few days before my c section.  Everything was already pumpkin everything at that point and my beloved summer beers were gone.  I definitely cried about it.

This is what bummed me the most about a September baby! I loooooathe pumpkin beers.

I totally plan to buy out the summer beer stock this year.

Heresy! Pumpkin beers are the best followed closely by banana bread beer.

I'm just crossing my fingers that skinny dip is here this summer. New Belgium is relatively new in Ohio and it wasn't here last summer but all their other small batches are making it now. So here's hoping lol.

I've had banana bread beer once and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was!

I like the leinenkugel shandys, but I had this Steigl rander and liked it much better! It something like 60/40 beer/grapefruit juice and it's only 2%abv so great for summer day drinking.

(Pretty sure leinenkugel grapefruit shandy is all beer w honey & grapefruit flavor. It's like 4.5%abv.

[chedifuen]

That looks tasty! I'm going to a hard cider festival next weekend. I'm pumped for summer drinking

[Brie]

swizz Boulevard makes a ginger lemon radler for summer now. It's to die for.

It's great! We actually went to the brewery and it was soooo good!

[badtzmaru22]

It snowed today, and I'm enjoying bock season. I'll keep this in mind for a few months from now. I love Hell or High Watermelon.

[arch01]

I'm not a fan of most of the Leinie's shandy beers, but I might try this one.

We just got their Big Butt here-I keep hoping we'll get the red or honey Weiss, but no such luck yet.

[bunch]

Thanks for the reminder that I need to order beer.  This job isnt nearly as fun pg.

I've almost gotten the honey Weiss but I just don't love honey.

It's not an overwhelming honey taste like some of the shandies are with fruit-but definitely one where you'd want to try one instead of buying a 6 pack.

I had a feeling that's what was going to be in this thread. I saw it last night and was practically drooling. Come on July!

DH and I got lit drinking stiegl on a train between Munich and Salzburg when we were engaged. So it'll always have a sweet spot

I love all the German radlers. It's like beer Gatorade. We make them at home 1/4 Sprite, 1/4 lemonade, half beer, but it's not the same.

[pooh8402]

I'll have to try that! I love Leinie shandys! (Shandies?)

[chickens987]

Have you looked up places to buy this in Chicago? We could do a fruity beer/shandy pool day!

[chickadee77]

Oh, lord, I love Leinie's. Haven't seen this one yet, but how could it got wrong? Mmmm

[wavepool]

Going to have to find this! Grapefruit version is one of my favorite alcoholic drinks ever.
I love lake drinking days. I cannot believe I used to be able to drink summer brews all day, though.... Vodka plus beer would not be good these days!

What does the big butt one taste like? I read the description, but it's not helping me:)
