I tried the New Glarus Moon Man this weekend. Holy citrus! It almost tasted like a Summer Shandy with grapefruit juice. Interesting, but I don't know if I'd get it again.

It was really the best comparison I could think of. It wasn't the best beer I've ever had.

If anything, you gave me a beer to avoid when I'm in Paint Thinner Nation. :)

Haha, thanks?

Flashy Man also tried Capital Brewery's Supper Club. It was pretty meh, he said. Not a bad beer, but absolutely nothing special.

I've had hippie beer (all natural ingredients, gluten free or something like that; for the record, it was meh, nothing special, but interesting).

And yes, thank you for the insight on the fruity beer. I'm always open for suggestions. :cool:

And what are you doing having a beer? You're in training, missy. :p

It was my freaking birthday!

Actually, I've gone sober until the half marathon. However, I see an epic KBC run sometime in the 24-48 hours following the race.

Ok, just making sure you're still on track.

And with a side of SENANICANS, I hope. ;)

I don't think Supper Club is supposed to be anything special. It's just a so-called "pre-Prohibition lager".

But I know what you mean. If I'm paying $8+ for a six-pack, it should have some flavor.

I'm not going to lie, I think I was legally drunk from 8 pm on tuesday night until sometime early this morning.

One of the days we made white russians in a mug this size:

Yeah, I always get a laugh driving by those places.

I used that image because it was the first one that came up when I googled 100-oz mug (or something like that).

A 100-oz white russian. it was delicious.

Makes me wonder if it was a bad batch. I'd had a porter or some such that ended up tasting a bit like grapefruit, and it wouldn't surprise me if that was a common yeast/bacterial strain that causes the off flavor.

Reminds me of when one of my heavy-drinking friends got a White Russian at the bar, another friend (a n00b to drinking) had a sip, and pretty soon all of my friends were drinking White Russians and getting blasted off of them. We call that night "the White Russian Affair". :o

I do plan on bringing back some New Glarus, and maybe trying to find other good local brews there. As always, my goal will be to never repeat a beer at the bars/restaurants when I am on vacation, and try to stick to purely local brews.

I highly recommend The Grumpy Troll Brew Pub in Mt Horeb (15 minutes west of Madison). Their brews have won a bunch of awards + voted best brewpub in Madison.

Infected beer is usually foamy and tastes like vinegar. Moon Man is a pale ale, which explains the grapefruit flavor.

Drinking a Shock Top for the first time, honestly I'm underwhelmed by the flavor or lack there of.

It's a terrible imitation wheat beer made by a macrobrew. What did you expect?

At least Blue Moon tries. ;)

Actually, I don't mind Blue Moon, but only on tap. It tastes sweeter from the bottle, and that's just too much.
