It has been a while since I did a \u201cnow drinking\u201d segment, so I guess it is time \u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThis ain\u2019t about this y\u2019all, it ain\u2019t about that
\nThis ain\u2019t about the booty movin\u2019 pumpin\u2019 the max
\nThis ain\u2019t about this, that, what, where, or how
\nThis about the freaks doing everything they wanna do now!\u201d<\/p>\n

How about Wild Blue Blueberry Lager<\/em><\/strong> This one is serious different (hell, it taste sweet like blueberries) I think it is either one of those love or hate beers. Seems more like one of those Belgium fruity beers that I got to partake in during some of my UK trips, and while it is a lager, it is nothing like what I would normally drink. In fact my wife commented that she did not think I would like it, and I am not sure if I do. It is \u2026 just \u2026 well \u2026 different.<\/p>\n

The label says that it won some sort of North American Brewers Association Gold Medal. Not sure what category. Maybe for the fruitiest lager? My wife did say it made her tipsy, so I think I need to keep some around. At only $6.99 a six pack, it was not a total loss. I mean if it only takes $6.99 to get laid, there is nothing wrong with that, right?<\/p>\n

Next up is Hop Hound Amber Wheat<\/em><\/strong> (by Michelob Brewing). This stuff is pretty darn good. I am not sure what I was expecting. I like hoppy beer, and wheat beer, so these two go hand-in-hand. Another $6.99 purchase and one that I will definitely go back to again. I would go so far as to say that this one will end up in a semi-regular rotation, but it is not one that I will reach for in front of other favorites \u2013 various Sam Adams, Harp, Sweet Water 420, etc.<\/p>\n

Saving the best for last, we get a truly remarkable beer from Sail Brewing<\/a> in Hood River, Oregon. Full Sail IPA<\/em><\/strong>. I am not sure what to say about this one other than it is delicious and gives me a nice alternative to 420. It is $8.99 for a six pack, so it is a little pricy, but I think it easily delivers value for the price. Hops, full-body flavor (whatever that means; sounded like the thing to say), and a highly drinkable beer. I love IPAs, and I am truly impressed with this one.<\/p>\n

Now back to Prince. You knew it was Prince, right?<\/p>\n
