It's Sunday Night...But...

On a normal Sunday evening, I like to enjoy a little pizza and a cool brew.  After, I spend some time blogging about the new brand I sampled.  But tonight, Houston, we have a problem!

A glance into my fridge shows 4 choices: Gravel Road, Buffalo Butt, Sodbuster and a Summer Shandy.  The problem?  Only 3 of these would I drink!  And...I have reviewed those 3!

The 3?  Sodbuster, Buffalo Butt and Gravel Road.  Of course that leaves the Leinekugel Summer Shandy.

Let's be blunt--don't mess with my beer by making it taste like some fruity concoction better served with a little umbrella than in a mug!  But, I will take a sip so that I can justify my dislike (and distaste) for this "less than a real beer."

Most reviewers call it a "fruity vegetable beer" that smells and tastes more like lemonade (and I might add, a bad lemonade).  While I can recall my grandpa mixing beer with tomato juice (Snappy Tom), he did not do it often, and he even said, "if you don't think of this as beer, it tastes better."

That being said...if you want lemonade, drink lemonade...but if you want to have a beer, drink a beer!

So tonight, I will sit back with my pizza (sausage and mushroom), and wash it down with...a Sodbuster...courtesy of Glenn and Julie!  They are enjoying the Shiner sampler I sent home with Julie a few weeks back...along with the deer she "grilled" with her truck!
