Favorite Brews



It has been a bit since I blogged about any beers I have enjoyed so now is the time to play catch up. One of my favorite beers is Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy. This is a weiss beer combined with a lemonade flavoring, which is a great combination for a summer beverage. I am sure many of you have tried this brew as Leinenkugel is quite an easy-to-find brand. I generally purchase this beer at a local grocery store or liquor store.

Another microbrew I purchased at Uncorkt, was Abita Purple Haze, which is a raspberry wheat brew. This is definitely a female style beer thanks to the strong raspberry flavor. I would suggest drinking this beer with a light dessert or fresh dinner salad.

My next blog update will be some of my less than favorite microbrews. I would love to hear comments from my readers referencing some of your recommended brews.

Microbrew



One of my favorite wine stores in Racine is Uncorkt located on Sixth St. in downtown. This past year the owner decided to add microbrews to their wine collection. I happened to be down there this past weekend and tried one of the microbrews - Holzfass-Bier. This is a thicker brew with a caramel undertone. I would not say it is a terribly heavy beer; however, I was feeling quite full after one bottle. Definitely a beer women would enjoy as well as any man. This beer is imported by Swiss Cellars in Madison, Wisconsin.
