Found the 'gansett Del's Lemon Shandy today in Durham. By the time I popped one open it eas cool. Very good but below the Porch Rocker, to me.

I have learned that shandys are best very cold. Something is lost as they get less cold.
 
I don't know how anyone can enjoy the leigenkrugels shandy - tastes like bad beer mixed with lemony cough syrup. It just plain awful.

The naggy del's is ok, but it's my wife's favorite this summer, along with the road jam. Two roads continues to knock out of park.

A summer beer that doesn't belong in the juice aisle. So so good.

i picked some Roadhouse up last night based on this recommendation. Very good, let's see how it does when the heat comes. Also: Dale's Pale Ale is excellent on a hot day.

Went to a Vibes concert two summers ago and fell in love with the L'kugel shandy. Then discovered Curious Traveler and liked it better. And then...discoverd the Porch Rocker and love love love that . I see the Traveler has a grapefruit concoction, the Illusive Traveler. Will have to try it.

So Dove's summer brews are: Porch Rocker while supplies last, Modelo Especial, Landsharks and the occasional experimental 6-pack.

I tried Landshark at the beach today. Success.

Right around the time I turned 21 I tried to order a Landshark at Wooster St Pizza in Manchester because they had this really cool Landshark surfboard. They told me they didn't actually have it. Never tried to order it again.

True story.
 
Here's an interesting one.

5 Rabbit 5 Lizard Witbier

Brewery founder Andrés Araya's Latin background steered him to Cervecería Costa Rica in Central America. There he worked in beer production and logistics. No mere suds-soaked keg jockey, Araya has an master's degree in business administration from Cornell, as well as engineering degrees from Purdue. His combination of academic smarts and Latin American heritage began to meld into an artistic vision of beer making both innovative and enjoyable.

Randy Mosher is a senior instructor at Chicago's prestigious Siebel Institute — America's oldest brewing school — and has authored four books on brewing.
5 Rabbit's brew master, John Hall, also is a Siebel grad, and had a very long stint at another Chicago institution: Goose Island. His time there brought in multiple medals and accolades.
The three have conspired to weave Aztec mythology and influence into their product. The name 5 Rabbit refers to one of the five Aztec Ahuiteteo deities of excess and over-indulgence. 5 Rabbit was the leader of the 400 Rabbits, whose parents were the gods of agave and fermentation.

Witbier is a Belgian classic that is defined by the use of dried Curaçao orange peel, coriander and specific strains of yeast along with a small dose of lactic acid. What 5 Rabbit did to make a version of its own was to replace the Curaçao orange — indigenous to an island off of Venezuela — with zesty lime. Keep the coriander, of course, and then add in some passion fruit puree for an exotic touch.
Cloudy straw-yellow with a towering head, this creamy and well-carbonated thirst quencher delivers precisely what its ingredients imply. That natural lime is boosted by the lemon from the wheat and the tropical citrus from the hops. The lactic acid/yeast combo give a little dose of funk up front before fleshy passion fruit, mango, grapefruit and even more lime yields to a mildly peppery finish that's clean and memorable.
¡Bienvenida, y viva Cinco Conejo! (Welcome, and long live 5 Rabbit!)

Anyone ever try the Long Trail Summer Ale? A personal summer favorite.

I tried it and found it to be too hoppy for my tastes. If I'm drinking a summer beer I want it to be on the lighter side and I found the Long Trail Summer to be very hoppy and bit heavy
 
Tried the Chimay Belgian Ale this weekend. Lived up to its reputation and then some.
 
I don't know if it's readily available in Connecticut (I buy all my stuff in Massachusetts because LOL Connecticut liquor prices and selection), but if you can find the new summer beer from The Pretty Things Beer & Ale Project called "American Darling", do try it.

Super refreshing. I tried some last weekend at a tasting wherein the entire Pretty Things company (Dann & Martha) were at a local liquor shop. Wonderful people and delightful beers.
 
I've been seeing varieties of Shiner from Spoetzel brewery, they may have new distribution in CT. Their Ruby Redbird is a summer variety made with grapefruit. It is refreshing, though people who don't care for grapefruit probably won't like it in their beer as it isn't sweetened. It's a summer beer for beer people.

It goes well with seafood and lite summer bbq grub. Strong grapefruit and ginger flavors. You can use it as part of a marinade for pork or beef too.

This is what is on tap for tonight.

I just can't wait until we reach elite status where other boards constantly monitor us and post 'even' random stuff about us.

Relax Francis, it's a harmless post. And OT. And it's the offseason. And a bunch of other things...

Umm... he lives in Durham. I'm guessing NC not CT... which is probably where he saw the beer... so I doubt he's constantly monitoring say Kentucky brew pubs or food manufacturers for some Wildcat based product to post about...

Which leads me to me next question I know we've had UConn salsa... but what about beer?

This will date both me and the Boneyard.

Way back in the old timey days of the late 90's, the postmaster of our lil village showed up at my house and started to harangue me for trying to have beer delivered in the mail, for causing them so much grief when said beer bottles shattered, for making the post office smell like a bar floor, etc.

I had no clue what was going on other than I was being yelled at by a heavyset woman in a mailman's uniform and I'm trying to protest my innocence without saying anything that would cause her to call the post office police as she was promising to do. (If someone from the post office goes postal and you mention the word postal while they're going postal, they go more postal.) And then she got her in her government issue Subaru with the wheel on the wrong side and sped away.

A couple of days later, I got a plastic bag in the mail - inside the bag was another small bag with a beer-soaked piece of cardboard with Zy's return address and a written admonishment from the post office for attempting to receive beer via the mail.

Zy had sent me a sampling of hard-to-find beers and apparently some fumbly-fingered postal worker had dropped it in the sorting room.

I believe it was the first interstate misdemeanor committed on the Boneyard.
 
No controversy as far as I am concerned. As a matter of fact I think its quite comical that all of a sudden all billboards are now being taken down. Plus I find it hard to believe that the admins at Uconn previously had no idea that these were going up.
