What Beer Are You Drinking In 2025

[smokinjoe]

Well, tomorrow is Conco de Mayo, and the beginning of hotter weather and Mexican beer drinking.  I like the gulpability of an ice cold Corona after yard work, or other hot chores.  I’ll also go with Estrella Jalisco, Pacifico, Modelo, and Dos Equis, but the first two are my stalwarts.

An appropriate reward for laying 20 rolls of sod on a hill while listening to the hometown 9 avoid a sweep by the Cubs this afternoon.  Hoppy, but not a grapefruit bomb.  This is right up my alley when porters and stouts are too heavy for the mood.

I love Leini. I really enjoyed the grapefruit shandy when they made it. Fear not, it’s the first week of May. The Cubs will find their form.

Yesterday at Total Wine while shopping for my mint julep supplies and my first Asahi Dry of the year I noticed some Belgian singles for sale. I haven’t had Duvel in years so I snagged one. Man this is great.

I once toured their brewery in Chippewa Falls back in the early 2000s when I was working in St. Paul which is about an hour and half drive away. It was great.  I became a Leinie fan after that for a few years but I've drifted away from them over time.  They seemed to have changed a lot and gone a bit "corporate" compared to how they were when I was there (no surprise, ...as with everything else these days).  I'm not even sure that it's still made in Chippewa Falls anymore but I hope so?  Their standard original was my favorite back then.

So many Leine varieties that I have enjoyed. My favorite craft beer, before Miller bought them anyhow.
