Re Blue Moon, I drink it with a lemon, not an orange.

#9 is the weakest of the Magic Hats, in my opinion. The limited time varieties are much better than their usual beers. Their holiday beer this season is awesome.

People serve bourbon and cokes come with lime around here all the time; that's why I usually just order bourbon on the rocks. No one dares to put a lime in that.

Edited because I apparently can't type in complete sentences...

You would think. I usually order knob creek and ice, and the other night the guy goes, "would you like a lime?" I don't understand what the deal is. Even if you get a well bourbon and coke at a bar in bham or atlanta, they don't ask if you want one. Florida is even worse, a bartender in Orlando didn't understand when we didn't want Canadian Mist after they ran out of Makers...apparently "its pretty much the same thing"...

Since they always put them in up here, I've just gotten used to asking them not to put the lime in when I order it.

It's funny, I don't mind fruit in my beer (like in a Harpoon UFO or a blueberry beer, etc.), but I don't want it in my bourbon or bourbon and coke.
