Last week when Nate and I were replacing the brakes in the Pilot, I picked up a 6-pack of Michelob Honey Lager. The honey was very apparent and it was sweeter than Leinenkugel's Honeyweiss, which I liked. It wasn't something I could drink a whole 6-pack at once of, but I had a couple each night until they were gone and I enjoyed them. I went to the Michelob website and it looks like they've expanded their seasonal beers quite a bit, so I'm looking forward to trying more of them. I'm sure some will hack on the fact that the beers are "Michelob" brand = mass marketed crap, but when I'm buying beer at a liquor store, I just have a hard time dropping $12 on a 4 or 6-pack of something I might not like at all.
Just a thought, but since it's getting too cold for Porky's, perhaps we should see if we can find a restaurant that has a really good selection of beers available, so those that are too young to drink can simply order food and those that are able to have a couple are able to experiment from week to week with a beer or 2 (it's all about moderation since we're driving home) without committing to a handful of beers that might not be our taste. Any thoughts or ideas of a place or two? Seems to me there was a chain-type restaurant in Eau Claire that served Jack Daniels flavored burgers and stuff that had a really large selection (like 100+) of beers, but I can't think of what the place was called...
