I can't answer that but I do remember a road trip back in the 70's to St Louis where we drank a different tasting Bud than what we got locally from Merimack, NH. So I suppose it's possible.

Got back yesterday after 17 days away. I had 2 cousins from Seattle living in my house while I was away so that someone was around to keep an eye on Grandma BamaVol. They left me a fridge full of Sweetwater 420, Dogfish Head 60 Minute and Sierra Nevada Torpedo. I also grabbed a sixer of Daughters Brewing Bimini Twist IPA out of St Pete and Leinenkugel Summer Shandy was on sale 12/$8.49 so bought six lemon and six grapefruit. Also one leftover bottle of La Trappe Quadrupel that I hauled back from BCN.

Careful what you ask for.
They left a dirty floor, unmade bed, garbage in the street and a ripped umbrella on the deck (didn't know enough to close it when the wind started to blow and neighbors retrieved it from the canal). I specifically asked them to drown the 2 yapping Yorkies on the deck next door and I come back to find them still alive. Worst of all, they spoiled my mother who will be looking for us to take her on a picnic at the beach every day for the rest of her life.

You're on. Mother is quite fond of most of the bars I frequent. We go to Fishale for Sunday lunch and she always says "Your father would have loved this place". And the Yorkies must be relocated a minimum of 500 miles away. You're welcome to them.

I don't want the Yorkies, but could probably find someone who would.

Cristal in Santiago this weekend, which I only think I would find palatable there, out of tradition.
Someone bought some Leinenkugel Summer Shandy at home in my absence. Great for the hot weather recently. I always think of it as the Arnold Palmer of beer.

That said, I tried Leinenkugel's grapefruit variety recently and was totally disappointed in that, too.

That's a pretty good description. I have not found a better shandy yet. I really wanted to like the Narragansett variety, but it didn't do anything for me. Disappointing.

Like you, I've tried others and nothing seems to come close to Leinenkugel. The last time I strayed was with a Curious Traveler. I thought it was far too sweet.

There is a case of it sitting on a table at work for our happy hour later today. It's going to be 80 today. Perfect day for one.
