Comments:
Don’t you hate it when you open up one type of beer and it pours like another? In this case I opened up a wheat and poured out a lager. This wheat is not only clear in the American style, but it's a little caramel in color, which made me really suspect about what I'd be drinking. It just seemed really dark for a wheat beer.

My suspicions weren’t off. Although you get a wheaty/malty scent, the beer tastes a little unlike any American wheat I've ever had (and even though you might be shocked to read me say this, it’s overly sweet).

Drinking this beer, I really felt like I should be in a garage trying to adjust my enormous beer belly (courtesy of A-B) so I don’t tip over in my folding chair. That’s kind of guy that drinks this stuff—because he doesn't understand the wheat style enough to know better.

Beer Dorks News

Want to know how healthy the craft beer industry is? As always, look to Portland. Craft pioneer Bridgeport announces sudden closure, adding to a growing list of PDX casualties. Did Anheuser-Busch Chicago offer their shit beer to Cody Parkey before his missed field goal? Because that may explain why he "accidentally" biffed it. Chicago now has the most breweries of any city in the country. Other things Chicago has the most of: murders, mobsters, and Ditkas. Trying to spin it positive, BA releases end of year graphic. Only 5% growth in the craft sector when nearly 1000 new breweries opened? That's a collapse waiting to happen. R.I.P. Tallgrass... another casualty as the regional/national craft beer market continues to get squeezed. Wait... Constellation Brands cut all of the Ballast Point and Funky Buddha sales staff? They merged it with their Corona/Modelo staff?? We're SHOCKED!!! Pizza Beer founder crying about failure of company, blames everyone else. Reminder, the beer tasted like vomit. Try having better ideas or making better products so you're not a failure. It's Bud Light so doesn't really matter, but we expect this beer to be sitting around for awhile. Indiana brewery to open with controversial beer names to "get the conversation going". Translation: taking advantage of serious issues for free publicity. Hundreds of amazing beers in Wisconsin and the Cubs took back the one everyone drinks just because it exists and people have heard of it. How fitting...
