That flavor is from wheat beers brewed a bit warmer, so you can get it in dunkelweissen beers too, though a lot of them will have some clove or spice taste as well.
Agree I have one of these whenever I'm at a place that serves it, nice change of pace and tasty.
Gave this a try and it tastes exactly like what the label says; banana bread. None of that imitation banana flavor either. Was nice for a little change of pace
Thanks man but I only collect them from places I've been to. I think ill be getting stationed in Milwaukee next year so ill be sure to hit you up for advice on a MSP weekend trip.
Ditto. I like their Sunset Wheat but the Summer Shandy is just bitter in a bad way. They've actually made another one that's even worse. Well, worse if you're wanting something that actually tastes like a beer. Their Lemon Berry Shandy tastes like some sort of off-brand cherry cola. It's doesn't taste bad per se, but when your taste buds are all ready for a beer, it's a letdown.
The tag thing is awesome. MN's laws are dumb, so once a brewery gets too big it can't sell growlers anymore. Let me know when you move and when you plan on coming to MSP, I can get some spots on the Surly tour.Thanks man but I only collect them from places I've been to.

I think there are 60+ breweries in San Diego alone and I have yet to venture to all of them. I just did a east coast brewery trip with my gf from S Carolina to Maine and stopped at a quite a few places. I thought it was going to be great but 2 weeks of drinking every day really drains you. The bigger growlers with the metal handles are on another shelf. (cant stand the high prices on those, so its just the ones that are worth it it, Hess, Ironfist, Victory, Ommegang)
Many of the new breweries in SD just use plain brown glass and hang their tag on it. as the one below from Will Ferrells charity pub crawl a few weeks back.
Don't know if it was mentioned, but if you love KBS (as I do) you should also try to get your hands on Goose Island's Bourbon County Stout when it releases (which was just recently, and may be hard to find now)
This is my favorite beer bar none. Little on the expensive side, but well worth it.

I've been searching everywhere for this and can't find any at all in my area. Called the local specialty beer store who orders customer requests to find out if they could get some.

What kind of local stuff do you normally have in WA? I was in Seattle[Bellevue] for work and only found Elysian as the local brewery. I ended up mainly drinking other "NW" regional stuff at the Tap House or whatever the place is. Obviously Red Hook (managed to make it TO the brewery the next night), but those are the only two that come to mind.Russian River Brewing Company Withdraws from Washington Market
No more Pliney for meAlthough trying to find it had become more and more difficult and expensive due to price gouging on it, I'm still going to miss it. Glad that we have many amazing local options that are more than capable of filling the void, but it's sad that our archaic liquor laws are driving great breweries out of WA.
The only places near me that carry it are Whole Foods and World Market. World Market actually has a pretty damn good beer selection.
I need to check the closest World Market here, but I know the only Whole Foods in the area are all in Kansas and don't carry alcohol (because Kansas is a piece of shit state).
Mirin' the Fitger's Brewhouse beer you've got there. Which one is it? That's my local brewery, everything there is so good!First attached is the Stouts I have waiting for me (for Jan/Feb, missing from the pic is this year's Darkness).
2011 Bourbon Barrel Ed Fit Imperial Stout. I drank all the Decadence from 2011. The 2012 Ed Fitz is good, though I somehow forgot to buy one for me (and brought home 8 for friends). Decadence should come out late this month, so I'm really looking forward to it. And yeah, between Fitger's and Town Hall, I have no idea how those brothers are so fucking good at brewing.
