Beer for tonight's game (non-bb)

[Taras Bulba]

Tried Shiner Hefeweizen and decided I liked it.  Sam Adams Hefeweizen was pretty good, too but they're a bunch of Red Sox trash so to hell with 'em.

Paulaner Hefeweizen. With a lemon.

I would love to try some Samuel Adams Utopias but the costis a bit much.

Try the Shiner Dunkelweizen.  Much nicer!  But the best weizen (ohne Hefe, of course) is from a tall glass with a lemon sitting outside somewhere in Munich.

I have a friend who does a bi-annual trip to Oktoberfest in Germany.  He recommended: Erdinger hefeweizen and Franziskaner dunkel.  Also, he liked the Schneider Weiss hefeweizen.  I'll try the Shiner dunkel next.  BTW: the Shiner hefe label also recommends the lemon wedge.

Not sure if it's a hefewiezen, but if you like lemon with your beer from a tall glass you must try Hoegaarden Original White Ale.

Been there done that.  :-)  And you're right.  I think it is a wheat beer, but without the yeast (and therefore clear rather than somewhat cloudy).  I still like the Bavarian versions better, though.

I'd be concerned that, ordering a Franziskaner dunkel, I'd end up with some leather-clad, muscle-bound freak jamming a gas-powered, four-prong dildo up my arse.

Just where exactly do you order your beers?

So that isn't the right safe-word? Hey, this isn't where I parked my car.

Swill.  Even in Belgium it's swill.  Take a can of Old Milwaukee, pour some Kool Aid in it, sit it in the sun in August (in Houston) for about a week, and you've brewed your own.

I'm just sayin.  fruit ain't for  beers.

In Belgium fruit (and other various organic materials) find their way unwanted into beer (or more precisely, lambic), but Hoegaarden White Ale is not a victim.  Of course, it's not Guiness, either, but it is certainly not swill.
