Dunkel Weisse AB's Dark Wheat Ale * * *

I enjoyed it but I would have to rate it a 3 out 5 stars. I would
drink it again but it would be last on my list of wheat beers.

Local St. Louis Liquor Stores

Amie and I have been to Kaya's http://kayasimport.com/ they are close and they have more wine and a small beer selection in the back a few small shelves and some in the fridge. They have wine tastings every Friday (never attended) but I have friends that have and enjoy it.

We have also been a few times to the Clayton location (they have 4 locations) they have a nice beer selection in the back. http://www.wineandcheeseplace.com/

Mini kegerators?

I am very interested in getting one of these mini kegerators. I like this rather than the full kegerator because I don't forsee Amie and I drinking that much beer in 30 days. I think a keg is only good / fresh in one of those for 30 days from what I have read online. Just looking into what is involved with mini. REALLY interested and curios what beer you can get in the 5 Liter keg since that is what they hold. I have seen Heineken kegs with a Krups version of this even saw a TV commercial for it. I am not a big fan although haven't tried it in a few years my tastes have changed greatly. On a positive note we did see a Warsteiner 5L keg at the Grocery store that was interesting to Amie and I.

To bad these are so expensive $237.45.

Healthy Bio Beer

Eight biology students from Rice University have developed a brew that could extend human life, according to a report on discovery.com as of Nov. 10, 2008. They call their invention ‘Bio-Beer.’

"BioBeer, as it’s called, has three genes spliced into special brewer’s yeast that produce resveratrol, the chemical in red wine that is thought to protect against diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s and other age-related conditions."

Sweet Water 420 Extra Pale Ale * * *

Joe and I were apprectiating the 420 beer. We both agree we enjoy the
hoppiness. It's a good beer but we
Have to rate it 3.5. Amie does not like it is to hoppy it is not her
style of beer. I have enjoyed them enough to have three now. It is
described on the bottle as: "A crisp pale ale accentuated by a
stimulating hop character. Handcrafted with selected Malta and
pacific northwest hops. This kind beer compliments and occasions."

New Belgium Trippel * * * *

Belgian Style Ale I am enjoying right now with Joe. Very tasty 4 out of 5 stars. I keep buying so they must be good. Joe says it's good.
