Holy hell...Leinie's available in Big D!!!

[Bad Guy Zero]

I was in utter shock when I walked into the Beer Cave [the big walk in cooler full of assorted brews] at the Texaco around the corner from mi casa to find a mountain of Leinenkugel. For $4.99 a six pack!!!

I checked the labels to see if one of the macrobrewery's had taken over Leinenkugel and could not find any evidence of such a malfeasance. Anyone know whether or not these are true blue Leinies?

Wow it's $7.99 around here.

On a sadder note, the local FSR affiliate traded out Steve Czaban for Dan Patrick.

The interweb is your friend. KNR2 in Cleveland streams his show on their website. If you have an iPhone or G1 [aka "Google phone"] you might be able to listen to it via the Stream It All RADIO app. There's always satellite radio as well.

They are indeed. They've really ramped up distribution lately.

A few years ago, a buddy originally from Wisconsin would have his parents truck in cases and cases when they came for a visit. That and cheese curds. Oddly, I think the Leinies from Wisconsin tasted better than the ones I can buy here. Probably that whole allure of being unavailable locally at work.

Miller owns Leinenkugel.

Miller owns Leinenkugel.

But the family is still involved. Or, at least they say they are on Szaben's show on Friday mornings.

Talk about a discovery deferred. They've been selling Leinie's in North Texas for going on three years now.

Hmmm ... I thought this thread was about Matt Leinart

Since they stopped brewing the Big Eddy series they are irrelevant.

I saw some at the local grocery store just last night here in the Pacific time zone.

They also had Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat, which previously I'd seen at only one store outside of greater Boston.

Still Leinie-less (and Yuengling-less) on the west coast. Damn.

According to the Leinie site, it's now distributed in every state but Oklahoma, Alaska and Hawaii.

Cherry Wheat is SO much better on draft it's not even worth drinking in a bottle. I mean, if you haven't had it on draft. But it's so much tarter in a bottle.

The nearest Cherry Wheat tap is probably 3,000 miles way from Chez Mac Daddy, so the bottle has to do. Or, perhaps, this is a reason to buy a kegerator.

Cherry Wheat is my other favorite beer. That, Sunset Wheat and Paulaner Hefe-Weizen in the same store = the holy trinity of beer.

Not true. The SO just finished off the last Leinie's in our fridge yesterday. We bought a pack at Albertsons, IIRC.

No Yuengling, though. My brother keeps insisting I try one, but can't get it out here.

FYI to those traveling through Pittsburgh, you can get Cherry Wheat on draft at the Sam Adams bar inside the airport. It's in the Southwest terminal.

I will check at Albertson's tonight!
