I saw it at the HEB over the weekend. Isn't it a wheat?

Speaking of Saint Arnold, they're going to be brewing Divine Reserve 11 year-round starting next year, according to their owner. (http://twitter.com/#!/brockwagner/status/105375174618124289) Great news, because it's possibly my favorite beer of all time.

Ha. I'm not a fan either, but glad you're able to enjoy something you like, das.

I didn't really dig on Weedwacker either.

You know where I live. Monday is brew day if you want to come over and work your ass off for a beer that won't be ready for two months.

It's Lawnmower Ale (a Kolsch) but they've substituted a hefeweizen yeast in place of the kolsch yeast. That malt and hops have not changes.

Indeed, it's so very subjective. I'm open-minded enough to understand that my strong like for Fat Tire may be colored by its association with good times when I had easy access to it.

That said, I'll be over in Bavaria in mid-November and am just smart enought to know that the sludge from the bottom of the Oktoberfest barrels will be better than anything the New Belgium Brewing Co. is likely to produce...

Is Karbach available in stores yet? I've sampled it at Pappas steakhouse and Queen Vic but have yet to see it on the shelf.

Spoke to the brewmaster a couple weeks ago, and they're going to start canning (not bottling) around January.
