They had something special there, and in a relentless drive to the bottom, they ruined it. It's encouraging that they're trying to bring it back. <BR/><BR/>It should be out by the beginning of March, and I would think, you being so close to B-ville, that you should be able to find someone that carries it.

I have toured th brewery in St. Louis, and one has to be impressed with what they see. I was a loyal Bud/Mic drinker in my early 20's before I got into craft beer, so even to this day, I have a lot of respect for AB.Red Roosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870875681742885979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-56257169947121635302007-02-08T13:52:00.000-05:002007-02-08T13:52:00.000-05:00I'd just like to add a thought to Lew's essay, bas...I'd just like to add a thought to Lew's essay, based on: "...the Franziskaner Mai-Bock at Lüchow's..."<BR/><BR/>Man, hurt me.

You can't be a blogger with a cause without a manifesto or two to hand out, you know. My beer blog contest right now might be able to cross reference your rule as one thing I want to know is folk's preference for an unending keg of that refreshment rather than relaxation. Quite happy to thereby add to the call for milds, ordinary bitters and other low alcohol brews.<BR/><BR/>Alan of A Good Beer BlogGenX at 40https://www.blogger.com/profile/09691873959881169457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-53648388734629705752007-02-08T11:52:00.000-05:002007-02-08T11:52:00.000-05:00Andy -- the new Michelob has a new bottle and labe...Andy -- the new Michelob has a new bottle and label, and says "A classic all-malt lager" on the neck ring.<BR/><BR/>Loren -- Stroh on your sleeve, man.<BR/><BR/>Steven -- It's definitely worth a try.

The Hefeweizen and Pale Ale (yet another) were the best of the lot; the Märzen being pretty thin, and the Porter being harsh.<BR/><BR/>I don't think I'll turn away from Franziskaner or Schneider Weiß anytime soon (or Capital or Sprecher), but I'll have to give the new Mich a try just so I can load my opinion -- maybe even the Amber Bock again.Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10585545034172431563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-86885825474138185132007-02-08T10:39:00.000-05:002007-02-08T10:39:00.000-05:00Can the return of all-malt Stroh's be far behind?H...Can the return of all-malt Stroh's be far behind?<BR/><BR/>Hope so.<BR/><BR/>And the Strisselspalt is apparent in the new Mich?
