BOSS Browar Witnica S.A. "Lemon Beer"
Brewed and bottled in Poland. It is a 4.2% abv malt beverage brewed with lemon juice and comes in a 500 mL bottle.
A little sweeter than I would normally prefer.

Now that I think about it, it was probably closer to a shandy. It was a malt beverage according to the label.

Just kind of strange overall. I have a great idea for a cake that would use this beer, or even a lemon chicken kind of thing. Luckily it is very inexpensive ($2.29 for the half liter!).

Long before anyone put shandy in a bottle, bartenders were mixing beer and lemonade and calling it shandy. My first was in a hotel bar in Cardiff 25 years ago. I was the center of attention in a bar full of Welsh construction workers. They kept buying me beers and asking me about American politics. When I was almost too drunk to stand, they switched me to shandy. I watched the bartender draw half a beer from the tap and top it off with a bottle of “lemonade” that looked more like sprite than anything from Minute Maid.

Maybe the term shandy wouldn’t be familiar in Poland.

A summer treat on a cold winter day: White Claw strawberry flavor.
Got a variety pack with strawberry, blackberry, mango, and pineapple. I think I have only had the mango flavor before so looking forward to the others; strawberry isn't great but with a few drops of lime juice it becomes quite nice. 7-Eleven had a spend-$20-get-$10-off deal and this was an additional $2 off, so the 12-pack and a cup of pineapple was only $12.

From Bristol, CT. Purchased over the weekend at Stew Leonard's wine store in Danbury.
Not bad, but not my favorite.

Novy, Sf ca
lagunitas ipa
I asked for a lagunitas and the server asked if I wanted the ipa or the non-alcoholic lol
I have zero way of knowing if it’s alcoholic. I’ve never had a zero percent beer.

I drank near beer for 16 years of my adult life. It’s not generally good.
