Speaking of Buffet, I hear he has his own beer. Its a lager called Land Shark. Has anyone tried it yet? If so, how did it taste.

I haven't tried it, but I heard it's supposed to be along the lines of a Corona type beer. It's marketed like a beast around here!

Yeah, I've had it. It's A-B's version of Corona. It's a typical American style Lager but, for $32 a case, I wouldn't spend money on it.

I figured as well. I would assume a wedge of lime would be the appropriate garnish. I was never a huge Corona fan, but when thats all you have left in the beer fridge and it`s a hot summer day, they can go down quite easily. It just takes about 8 of them to get you anywhere near a buzz.

He also will have his own Casino named after him (sort of). The old Trump dump (the Marina) has been sold and will be soon known as "Margaritaville"

The only fruit that should be in beer is when it is made by the brewer. Lemons, limes, oranges just ruin a good beer, in my opinion.

Well, in the scorching mid-afternoon sun this past weekend, I enjoyed a Raspberry Wheat Beer from Kawartha Lakes Brewery.

I tried Bells' Summer ale this week. Very good, highly recommend it for a hot summer day.

exactly my point yesterday. You didnt put the raspberry in when you opened it. Weyerbacher makes an excellent Raspberry Imperial Stout.

The wife likes fresh lime in her beer.

Not me though. Great Lakes Brewery in Ontario makes an Orange Peel Ale I've heard great things about.

Have you heard of this one from the Toronto area?



This stuff is soooo fruity!. Can it still be classified as beer?

Funny, there's a Great Lakes Brewery based in Cleveland too. They make an excellent "Burning RIver" IPA, as well as excellent Lager (Eliot Ness) and Porter (Edmund Fitzgerald). None of that fruity crap though...

... no offense but I like 4 ingredients in my beer personally.

Never tried it, but I do like the Natural Blonde Lager made by the same brewery (Amsterdam).

Cool. If we start getting offended over beer the world truly is doomed.

Is Creemore still good? I understand they were bought out a while ago... Nice refreshing lager though.

Creemore is great on tap.

Great little brewery too. Unfortunately, it was bought out by Molson's, so the independent craft beer maker thing loses a lot of its effect.

Used to stop by there occasionally, and I'd pick up a few cases on my way up to Penatanguishine on Georgian Bay. Dang fine summer beer.

I heard there was a huge merger between Molson, and a couple of other big name breweries?

molson and coors merged a couple years ago and I do not recall the details but molson/coors and some other company merged recently.

http://money.cnn.com

Belgian-based InBev NV (INB.BT) announced Thursday it plans to buy Anheuser- Busch for $47 billion, creating the first global beer company. The merger would combine InBev's sales in Western Europe, Latin America and Canada with Anheuser's dominant position in the U.S. market.

Anheuser's amusement parks, including popular SeaWorld and Busch Gardens parks, could be sold if InBev's bid is successful. In a conference call Thursday, InBev said it may sell some of Anheuser's non-core assets.

The theme parks aren't seen as a natural fit for Anheuser. But they're profitable and possibly attractive to private-equity players or other large entertainment companies, experts say.

Next week I will have the pleasure of visiting the great state of Wisconsin! After a 9 hour drive from Western NY, i will be visiting the Miller brewery In Milwaukee (after a brewers game). As a favor to "good" beer lovers. I plan on Urinating in one of the brew kettles in an attempt to actually give that crap some flavor. I have heard a rumor that Miller brewery offers a sample of Lienenkugels brew at the end of the tour. If anyone can either prove or disprove this rumor , I would greatly appreciate it. Otherwise, I may have to drive many extra hours to Chippewa Falls to visit the Leinies lodge. Good times Eh?

I've had the old rasputin, good beer for when the weather turns cold. Right now I'm working on a sixer of this good stuff:
