7% eh?

Anything that I can get here in NE Ohio that anyone recommend. I've got a whole summer of grilling ahead of me. Nothin quite like sitting outside grilling and having a beer. Seems like a good time to give some new things a go.

I'm an old man for 22 aren't I?

Well, I just went out and got a massage with my wife yesterday. Afterwards, we saw a billboard for a place advertising they sold over 500 different beers. We went there, picked up a mini-keg (which I've been searching all over for) of Bells Oberon (good stuff), and handpicked a few other beers. Carib, Beach Bum, and Peroni. Didn't try them yet.

I'll let you know if any of them are good.

Bells is good stuff, though where ever I come acrossed it, it is quite pricey.

I think I paid 21.99 for the 5 liter keg.

I've had this 5 liter keg fridge for 2 years, and haven't used it because I haven't been able to find the mini kegs for it. Heineken has them now, but they have a dispenser on top, so it won't work. It has to have the dispenser on the bottom. So I found a Coors light one and a couple German imports a year ago, but figured I can go to this distributor around here and get something better.

Well they didn't have any at all except the Heineken, so I buy 2 and find out it doesn't work with it. So I go to this store and they have about a dozen different ones, but I see they are all these German imports that I've never heard of, until I see the Bells in the back. Finally I can break the thing out. I had some Bells Oberon last year when my bro-in-law bought some for a cookout. Pretty good stuff.

Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat is good as well as their Summer Shandy. I drank a beer last night called Carib, which is from somewhere in the carribean, Trinidad I think.

BTW, speaking of summer beers, I saw a variety pack by Labatt's that had a summer bear, a honey wheat, some kind of twist which may have been lime, and one other. Almost bought it, but was low on cash. Wondering if any of them were any good?

I just picked up an amazing beer at Heinens - Banana Bread Beer. Tastes just like it sounds, like drinkable banana bread that you get a buzz from. Good stuff.

Holy cow, that sounds awsome. Banana Bread beer. Interesting.

Is that the Wells Banana Bread Beer? I had one of those at the Winking Lizard once and I have to say I was kind of let down. It might've had something to do with all the random foods I was cramming in my face though. And I did get a cool souvenir glass.

Yup - Wells Banana Bread Beer. Give it a try again!

...just got back from this burger/sports bar joint and they had all these funky beers of the world. I tried this Belgian beer call Duvel. It's 8.5%, has a champagne fizz to it, full flavored and is very refreshing. I went to Binny's beverage and bought a 4-pack for 12.99! That sounds like a lot but it's like drinking 2.5 beers each bottle.

Sweet Jesus I've just popped the top on a blueberry whaet ale from the Kennebunkport Brewing Co. (got it at Trader Joe's) and it is amazing.

Sounds interesting.....there's a place about 25 minutes from here that has beers from the world. Over 500. I need to make another run there this weekend. The sell them individually, and they give you a six pack carry case to put your bottles in. So you can get one of this, one of that. Pretty cool. Last time, I bought some Beach Bum, some Jamaican beer, Peroni, and something else.....can't remember. The Beach Bum was actually pretty good, reminded me of Yeungling a bit.
