An ode to bier...

"He was a wise man who invented beer."
-Plato

"An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools."
-For Whom the Bell Tolls, Ernest Hemmingway

The spelling in the title is intentional. I had the good fortune of purchasing a case of Leinenkugel's at the local Sam's. Now Leinie's are not generally available so far south, here in the "Land of Shiner," so to be able to find it and at a decent price was an incredible stroke of good fortune.

I've heard a lot of good things about Leinie's and the opinions were very well founded. This particular case was a sampler of four different kinds, the Sunset Wheat, Creamy Dark, Red, and Honey Weiss. All were very good.

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."
-Benjamin Franklin

I'll drink to that...
