Score!

I just wanted to point out the fantastic score I came upon at the grocery store the other night:

1) A sixer of the long awaited Leinie's Winter Seasonal: Fireside Nut Brown (Aftertaste of maple syrup! Tastes like Christmas! Wheee!) Seriously, its not bad, not fantastic. I would rate it slightly behind Summer Shandy, and Oktoberfest, but slightly ahead of Berry Weiss on the seasonal list.

2)Franken Berry: (Ed. Note: pink stool? And I dispute that it is easily found)

3)Boo Berry

4) Count Fuckin' Chocula

For the record, I've never heard of Yummy Mummy (1987-1993, sort of surprising I don't recall this one) or Fruit Brute (I guess it was retired in 1983, so that would probably explain it)

Wikipedia is spectacular.

Sorry for the non-sports post.

Done.

Yeah, well you like Bud Light which tastes like water that was squeezed from a washcloth after it cleaned my asshole.

Summer Shandy is borderline spectacular.

Fireside Nut Brown is not as good as fat squirrel or moose drool. Its a little too sweet for bountiful consumption, but pretty good.
