Summer is full of many simple pleasures, but none are more sublime than drinking beer outside. Those of you from warmer climates probably think I'm crazy, but here in Wisconsin, outdoor drinking season is short and sweet.
While cold winter days and long winter nights are perfect for a hot toddy or a pint of Guinness, summer's tailor made for a light & tasty brew.
It's only June 1st, but I'm excited to announce that I've already found the perfect summer beer: Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy. Last summer, Leinies introduced Sunset Wheat. It was good. The Summer Shandy, described as:
lemonade flavored beer, a European favorite during the warmer months. Brewed using the finest wheat, malted barley and just a hint of real Wisconsin honey.
is a grand slam home run. Sadly, it's only available through August. Happily, that still gives us three solid months of delicious drinking. Mmmm.

| your dang Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy - well that and the kamikazi and Jager shots - is the reason I was sicker than I've been since college last night.
Yep, the Summer Shandy is here in DC. Behold, its glorious spender! |

| the summer shandy is a little to lemoney for me, but if having just one it's not bad. i've already gone through a few 12-packs out on the deck - it's a decided crowd favorite.
countertop, i'm there with ya - last night's happy hour turned into happy 10 hours or so. i hardly drink at all anymore, which makes it all the more painful this morning. seriously. ow, my head. |
