I just enjoyed a radler this weekend at my brother's BBQ. It was a Grapefruit one made by Stiegl in Austria. Quite refreshing and delicious.Shane T.

I have to admit, I have a saying, hoppy beer does not make me happy. It helps me remember to ask about the hoppiness of a beer when I am at a micro-brewery. I am a huge fan of wheat beer, which by the way I hear you can use for cooking, ha ha. At the other end of the spectrum I loooooove the really really dark beers, that taste like coffee or caramel sometimes. Now you have me thirsty for a beer. Right now in my refrigerator there is Samual Adams Shandy. One of my favorite beers in Germany were ones that were called I swear limonada bier but I can't find anything about it now? Seems like they call them radlers now.<br />Do the hops give a bitterness to the fries??<br />Patti T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00203629964623921179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942946300793285698.post-44564577481465530762012-09-27T06:59:30.590-07:002012-09-27T06:59:30.590-07:00how fun is that! they look soo good.
