4. Uh, are you infering you'll drink anything wet and alcoholic?
If so, I can relate to that! :)

3. Beer
Bell's Oberon, a refreshing summer beer made with Wheat. Cool, crisp, refreshing. I drink without orange slice.

Also, Leinenkugel's Honey Weiss.

8. Oberon, grass cutting beer!
One of my favorites in the summer, hard to find fresh around here though.

17. Where do you live?
My hometown is only 1 1/2 hours from the brewery, yes I brag. We can get it in kegs if we wish.

23. Damn! fresh kegs from the brewery
I'm in kentucky, we have a couple places in town that rotate it on tap but no place that carries it all the time. I can get it in bottles anytime but it's just not the same.

29. Kentucky!
Home of Ale 8? The greatest Ginger Ale in the entire world?

Oberon's only made from about March to September or so. The summer is the best time to get it.

30. Ale 8 1
Thats it, and the derby also! The party starts this weekend in Louisville (I'm here) and things will get waaaayy out of hand. If you ever get the chance to come to KY do it during derby, the entire town is in serious party mode for 2 week straight.

19. I do like Bluemoon
and all wheat beers, in fact. I've not heard of Summit hefeweizen. I'll have to look for it. Pyramid is a good one as well.

25. I was going to suggest pyramid
then I saw it in your post. Pyramid is made w/saaz hops,my second favorite hop, great for lighter beers like wheats.

31. Good for you!
One word of caution though-- Once you drink your own beer you won't want any other. You can easily make beer that will kick the shit out of most commercial breweries for about 1/3 the cost. I've been brewing for about 5 years now and rarely do I buy a bottle of beer for home consumption.

15. Crescent City Brewhouse Pilsner
Consumed on the balcony overlooking Decatur Street in New Orleans. A very rich and very strong brew. Take two, then mosy up to Bourbon Street, meander to the balcony of the Tropical Isle and toss beads at lithesome young coeds willing to expose their nubile breasts for a trinket or two. Damn good beer.

22. I forgot
to mention non beer drinks.

I am an avid fan of Tequila.

I love sours, Whiskey, Amaretto, any.

Sangria is a good drink on a hot day.

But I typically stick to beer. Generally lighter, such as Pacifico, in the summer. But also those delicious wheaty beers I mentioned previously.
