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.

I need cousins like that.

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.

Next time you need a house and mother sitter, let me know. I'll mop the floors, wash the bedding, take the garbage to the curb, and rehome the Yorkies. Plus, will take your mother for a picnic at your favorite bar every day.

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.

Nothing better than cold Pacifico with lime while listening to jazz on the beach in PVR.

Just a suggestion for the future.

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'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.

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

I'm drinking a grapefruit linie right now and enjoying it. But I think the lemon is still my first choice.

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.
