New Belgium has a nice little summer pack out - Fat Tire Amber Ale, 8-Hop Voodoo Ranger IPA, Citradelic Exotic Lime IPA and Juicy Watermelon Watermelon-Lime Ale.

The last two are ok and, believe it or not, the watermelon one isn't all that bad for a "fruity" beer. I like New Belgiums standard Citradelic IPA which is based on orange citrus but the lime one is good too. Finally, the first two are very good - their standard amber ale (available all year round) is quite good and the 8-Hop Voodoo Ranger IPA is an excellent IPA if you like the sharp, bitter taste of hops in your beer. I've grown more accustomed to IPAs as of late but there are definitely "good" IPAs and really, really, terrible IPAs in my opinion. The Voodoo Ranger is a good one.

You're welcome to sit there and drink your Shiner Bock, aka Bud Light Dark-roast edition.

When I first visited Arizona, all the hotels had large pitchers of water for guests to grab a cup of water from. The two main additives to the ice water pitchers were either cucumber/mint or watermelon/lime (sometimes you'd see a pitcher with lemon or oranges sliced up in it). At first I was like, "Ewe, watermelon & lime (or cucumber/mint)!" But, when I tried it, I was amazed at how refreshing it tasted.

The beer in the picture has barely a hint of watermelon taste to it. It tastes much more like a very light ale. So it's not nearly as fruity as you imagine it to be.

But, if you like, I'll soak my feet in some Shiner Bock, rebottle it and send it your way....

Cucumber water is nice. Especially with vodka and St Germaine in it! BTW, I don't like shiner bock, it is my wife's beer and I'm gonna tell her what you said! :gone:

Maybe it would be better than the Fungi-Nail you see advertised on the Television?

On the topic of watermelon here's mine:



Pretty much any of the Ballast Point beers are amazing and they pack a strong punch. The watermelon Dorado is 10% and surprisingly refreshing.

My favorite beer to date is Ballast Point's Victory at Sea but it isn't a summer beer. It's a coffee Stout and is pretty much incredible if you're into the very dark beers.

Agreed, Danny's not right.

Also agree that Shock Top has some good beers. Their Summer Shandy is good. Don't really like their pretzel beer though....

With the Shock Top, be sure to swirl the last inch or two in the bottle to get all the settled fine particles. That's where all the healthy vitamins go in a wheat beer.

It's nice to finally be recognized... I feel like this whole time it's just been one-sided

Make sure your Lipitor prescription is current. After eating Danny's meatloaf, you might need to consider Lipitor with XL option
