Comments:
In Wisconsin there are 72 people who care enough about the ladies to offer them a tasty fruit beer. I’m talking about the folks from Chippewa Falls who have created Leinie’s Berry Weiss, a smooth offering made with honey and blackberry juice (they claim this is a blend of blackberries, elderberries and loganberries, but the actual label says, “juice”). It’s now available year-round, should you need to drink away any winter blues with the taste of summer.

This dark pour provides a fresh taste, but it’s almost too sweet owing to the fact that it is made with juice and not real fruit. If you drink one, you’ll have enjoyed a refreshing beverage. If you drink more than one, the sweetness becomes cloying and you’ll start to burp. A lot. And that is decidedly unladylike.

Drinkin’ And Thinkin’

Beer Dorks News

Hundreds of amazing beers in Wisconsin and the Cubs took back the one everyone drinks just because it exists and people have heard of it. How fitting... New Green Flash owners tab former AB exec to lead "turnaround". Gosh, wonder what his plan is... Pop quiz... Which of these entities is more washed up and irrelevant: ABInBev-owned Elysian or 80's pop-rock band Def Leppard? Need proof that the World Beer Cup is a joke? Hamm's won a medal this year. Yes, THAT Hamm's... Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, Budweiser has slandered the good name of George Washington. Laura Bell unexpectedly stepping down as CEO of Bell's, prompting the rumor mill to kick into high gear. Deschutes long-delayed Virginia brewery is apparently being downsized. Anyone else sense where this is going? More on Green Flash: Apparently not just a "sale", but a complete collapse of their business. Let's hope this is a one-off. Green Flash, already having dropped most of the country from its distribution footprint, is auctioning off its East Coast hub in Virginia. Brewpubs in ballparks are trending. In this case, Revolution provides the only reason to go to the garbage dump that is the White Sox stadium.
