Greatest Compliment EVER!!

[BrewThruYou]

And Leiny Sunset Wheat is one of the worst beers. We can get it down here in the corner of the country, and I cannot explain why. Not a fan.

It's better than their other crap - Berry Weisse (wine cooler/cough syrup), Summer Shandy (lemonade beer), Honey Weisse, etc.

Sunset Wheat is still bad though. It's very very sweet...it's very popular with females.

The summer shandy is actually based on a solution a German pub owner/brewer came up with ages ago. He was running low on the light summer beer they drink over there in hot weather. But he did have plenty of this lemon soda sold in Germany.
So,as the story goes,he mixed them and it was a hit. I think the sunset wheat is pretty good for warm weather in the shade,waitin on the bbq pit. But the berry wheat is a lil heavy. I'm going to experiment with a honey blueberry wheat myself. But maybe base it on a hefeweitzen. The paulaner hefe is great.

Nothing to do with the beer here. But have they come up with a replacement name for the Souix yet? I have played several times in that fantastic arena, and it is a shame to have it all changed for political corectness.
I haven't been down in the area for a while now, but last time I was around there, it was going to a public opinion poll, so have they decided yet.

One prop to Leiney that is also for Sam Adams is they are a gateway beer. It is the first non BMC (even though it is a BMC owned beer) that many people try, myself included. As you move up the beer food chain and develop your palate, you realize how "thin" they are flavorwise. But they give people a start in finding out about more flavorful beers.

I still enjoy Leiney's red, creamy dark, and 1888 bock. Their nut brown is nasty, as well as the summer offerings. IMO.

This made me laugh because it brought back memories of pounding down Leinies returnables when I was in college in Minnesota.

If someone could help me with a recipe for Cotton Candy Vodka, I would get a compliment like this as well.

Played in the Barons tourney in GF a number of times, always on the weekend that Souix played the Gophers for the rights to the frozen four. Great times sitting back at Whitey's watching the two states going back and forth after every goal. Wish we had something like that up here. We have the juniors, but no TV coverage, the University stuff is an also ran.

Sunset Wheat is the worst! It tastes like Fruity Pebbles. I don't know of any females who like it, but we have one friend (guy) who has that as his go-to beer. Obviously, he doesn't like beer.

I love college hockey but didn't get to even one game this year. I liked when my daughter was planning on going to Lake Superior State, because they always had good hockey games when we went to them.

The two closest hockey teams, NMU and MTU, are better than no hockey at all but not nearly as exciting as LSSU.

State Legislature is looking to stop the removal of the name. it has passed the state house and will go to the state senate in a few days and then needs to be signed by the Gov.

The State Bill says that no party (Higher Board, NCAA, Sioux Nation, Etc.) can force the school to change the name. If they do, the state can pass a class-action lawsuit against the party.


And i have tickets to the Frozen Four in St. Paul this year. I am excited. don't care if the Sioux make it or not, i am also an Irish fan

LSSU is a shadow of what they once were! I went to a couple of Ferris State games this year. I love college hockey, especially in person. But I liked watching some of the other CCHA games this year on TV. They need to air more of them!

And yeah, except for Creamy Dark, I'm not a Leiney fan either. I've tried enough of them to know I don't want to try the rest... The last one I had tasted like thin fruit vomit...

My thought exactly, although I included a WOW before it! LMAO

(I really love this site)

For the most part, I agree with Yooper. Leinie's just isn't very good. The classic amber, creamy dark, and honey weiss are OK at best. I will drink them if there is nothing else available. But everything else they make is just plain horrible. There are a LOT of Wisconsin breweries that make WAY better beer than Leinie's (including my home brewery )

REALLY???? Miami is good, i will give them that but the talent in your division vs. talent in the WCHA. really???

 

[Homercidal]

What were we talking about???

 

[Sdragon980]

Leinenkugel's i really do enjoy, i do miss their summer wheat. it's not the easiest thing to find on the west coast since i moved though but personally, i've never had a bad one (but then again, i've only had like 2 haha)

Last spring I made a clone of the Summer Wheat that turned out pretty close. I think I have it on my brew schedule again before winter is over.

 

[Hockeyhunter99]

i had a Simple Wheat recipe that i put a packet of Countrytime lemonade for 16oz. water bottles. 1 packet for every 2 gallons beer. primed and bottled as normal. turned out like a Summer Shandy. wasn't bad

P.S. Thanks to the Mod that changed the title. i know i spell bad

Can I still be a fan if the talent in my division isn't as good as your division?
