UFO Big Squeeze is out. Tried it for the first time and I really liked it

It's a pilsner w/ seemingly fresh grapefruit juice. a legit 50/50 shandy.

so how similar is it to Stiegl Radler? I've tried a bunch of them and they aren't quite my cup of tea.

That stuff is great on a hot day.

I only buy bomber if it's a special beer that I can't get any other way. I'd rather drink 12oz if something than have to finish 22oz of it because I opened it.

What do you do with the other 3 or 5 12oz bottles if you don't like it?

A shandy is a radler.

I mean much more so the grapefruit shandy you're specifically talking about versus what's considered the best grapefruit randler available on the market.

Could be on to something 750ml is a pretty standard liquor bottle size so maybe it is taxed differently

I wouldn't put it past a state to have some crazy rule like this, but generally speaking beer, wine and spirits are taxed on the production end, not the packaging end.

Buy one bottle to try

Good point, I totally ignored the idea of buying single bottles.

Total Wine is having a sale for 15% off all single bottles of beer May 5 - 18.

save them for company or drink them when taste is not the #1 priority

I picked up a 6 pack of Evolution Brewing Seacrets Tropicale. I got it due to the description of brewed "with honey and hibiscus." It's a really good summer beer. Highly recommend for any fellow Marylanders out there.

Had some Stone Go-To IPA tonight. I can't quite pin down which hop has been plaguing IPA's this year with that garlic/onion powder aroma, but this beer has a ton of it. Also it is very thin and watery, even for a session beer.

Yeah when I saw it was the "Go To" IPA I assumed it was directed towards people who want to pretend to enjoy IPA without all the IPA punch

Usually I enjoy a hoppy pale ale more than a session IPA. However Founders All Day IPA was impressive.

Khane · May 10, 2014

Founder's everything is impressive. Except for that cherry beer they tried to brew once upon a time. That shit was atrocious.

opiate82 · May 10, 2014

There is a small(ish) brewery in the Seattle area called Two Beers that makes an excellent ISA. Best part about Two Beers is that if I drink all night but only stick to beers by them, when my wife asks me how much I've had I can tell her "I've only had Two Beers" and not be lying.

I also like 21st Amendment's Bitter American, although they call it an "extra pale" ale.

Never had anything by them but found Dirty Bastard while out today, so picked up a 6er and will try it out here in a bit.

I'm on the opposite coast so not much chance of trying it, but I was wondering if the hibiscus comes across as flowery at all?
