LeMoneers Beer of Choice? (Page 4 of 4)

^ Good stuff... I still prefer the 99 Helles... but they only made it for a year and their new Helles isn't as good. Good but not great.

Hop Slam by Belles Brewery.  I believe it is a limited seasonal thing, you can very very rarely find it.

From a tap is the only way I've ever had it.  It's delicious.  There are a couple houston bars that have it.  Sounds like a good thursday night before Yee Haw

Gots to love Rainier?

for sports drinking: whatever's is the absolute cheapest in terms of per ounce costs. it's often canned keystone ice/light/whatever or the beast milwaukee’s best or coors banquet around my parts. ~33 cents a can (2.75 cents an ounce!). think of all body work you can repair with all that aluminum..

You should be able to find Sunshine Wheat.  I think that's one of the better domestic wheats.  I'm pretty sure you're blessed with New Belgium in KS (Fat Tire is also a good one to expand with).  You might look for O'Dell beers, Flying Dog does well with a Belgian style yeast, and Great Divide if you're feeling adventurous for some hops.  Some of the stronger beers like to age, but wheat beers are typically good fresh so regional choices will be nice.  The large can varieties in my garage for the same reason

Other good choices off the top of my head of the European Variety- Koenig-Ludwig Weiss, Paulaner, Erdinger, HackerPschorr, Hoegaarden.  Best way to have one of the Belgian Wit style is with a good German sausage and eggs for breakfast.  I have a beer and food pairing book where this guy raved about it from his travels.  I thought he was crazy until I tried it.  Money.

KIlt Lifter from Moylans.....it's so good it's food.

I'll drink most anything, but these are my favorites off the top of my head: Bell's Two-Hearted Ale, Goose Island Matilda, New Glarus Spotted Cow (only distributed in WI, if I'm not mistaken; worth the trip), anything from Lagunitas, Carlsberg, most any German lager, Labatt Blue, Great Lakes' Edmund Fitzgerald porter and Burning River IPA, North Coast's Old Rasputin Stout, and whatever my friends/relatives are homebrewing.

If I'm on a budget, I'll drink PBR, Old Style, Old Milwaukee, or Schlitz; they all taste more or less the same.

Franziskaner. Or Bell's Oberon if you can get it.

Some how we ended up with mass quantities of Trouble Brewing's Ale super cheap (7 bucks a case).  I don't know where it came from but it's tasty enough for garage/pit beer.  Plus the bottles are kinda appropriate.

Whatever is on special.

Alternately, Guinness, Newcastle, some of the Bell's stuff.  If I am in a situation where they are serving a house brew or something weird I will give it a shot.  (I'll try any porter or stout, and the other day I was in a Polish restaurant in Hamtramck and I ordered the one beer the waitress named with an incomprehensible name).
