Destroy the Leinenkugel Brewery Now!

[Hungary Jack]

Knock it down with a giant sledgehammer. Then burn the remains. Then stampede it with ten thousand buffalo. Then drop the A-bomb on it. Then encase whatever's left in cement.

Put the Leinenkugel brothers in jail and charge them with crimes against humanity. Sentence them each to ten life sentences. Destroy their social security cards.

Take all the beer from the store shelves. Dump it into a giant oil tanker. Sail the ship to the deepest ocean, and sink it.

I went down to my parents' house in The Lou. I reached into the bar fridge and pulled out what I thought was a New Belgium 2 Below. I emptied the brown bottle's contents into a glass. Then I smelled berries.

The Leinenkugel brewery thinks it's a good idea to make raspberry-flavored beer. They called it Raspberry Stoudt or whatever.

Wisconites should be ashamed. This an affront to the state's German beer-brewing heritage. It's an affont to beer drinkers everywhere. It is a violation of the Constitution.

It is a travesty. It is a crime against humanity. It........sounds delicious.

Tinkling in a bottle is not a crime.

If I want to drink a sweet or fruity alcoholic drink, I want an obscene amount of vodka in it first, not hops.

I do not approve of this rant. This is twice now that you've been grouchy about Leinie's but you're drinking their girliest beers. Try the Red, the original, the Creamy Dark, or the Oktoberfest.

This would be akin to drinking that stupid Bud Lime product, then drinking Nat. Light, and asking that A-B be burnt down.

I beg to differ. Leine may produce some quality beers, but no self-respecting brewery could produce such a travesty as a berry-flavored beer and call itself a brewery. Would Porsche produce a minivan or an econobox?

It's all about credibility as a brewery, and Leinenkugel has none for putting their name on this beverage.

Nearly all breweries make some sort of fruit beer. Schlafly has a couple. A-B has plenty. Bell's has a couple. Sam Adam's has Cherry Wheat. New Belgium makes a limited distribution raspberry brown ale at xmas time.

And while Porsche has not made a minivan (yet), they did start producing an SUV, which is just as bad. Porsche went down a few notches in my book with that. But then they produced the Carrera GT and it was all forgiven.

Word. I knew Popeye would have my back on this.

I beg to differ. As evidenced by

I have tried Sam Adams Cherry Wheat and consumed plenty of citrus-like Belgian whites. They don't come close to violating the laws of brewing integrity in the way that Leinenkugel has with this Berry Stout. If you were to sample this particular beer, you would share my sense of outrage.
