I'm really into wheat beers lately. One I found this summer that I really love is Leinenkugal Sunset Wheat. It has hints of blueberry in it.

That's funny, I've been the same way. I had always liked wheat beers, but this summer I found myself drinking more of them (in proportion to other beers).

Leinenkugel is a solid brew.

Are you into Hefeweizen? I had a GREAT organic Hefeweizen by Mueller-Pinkus, a German brewery. It was very crisp and clean, a little different than the hefe's I've tried before, but it was great nonetheless. Plus organic beer supposedly doesn't give you a hangover. Wouldn't know about that, didn't have enough to test that theory.

I love a good Hefeweizen once in a while; there isn't much that I don't like in the beer category (other than Bud or Bud Light, which I'll only drink if it's the only option). I'll have to keep an eye out for the Mueller-Pinkus, although I don't think they sell it anywhere around here.

Long Trail (a Vermont brewery) and Sam Adams both make a good Hefeweizen.

If you ever get to try Wild Blue, that is an excellent blueberry beer.
Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale is an interesting treat. I think it may have to make a Thanksgiving appearance.

This is the beer I've recently taken a liking to as well. I always told my friends it tasted like a blueberry muffin, but they never believed me until I made them try it.

I also really like Shock Top and Blue Moon...

I haven't tried Shock Top yet - I've generally tried to stay away from Anheuser-Busch products. I'm not sure if I'm missing out on something really good, but so far I've stayed firm.

I used to drink a lot of Blue Moon in college, but I've gotten away from that more recently. I've just found that there are a bunch of really good Belgian ales out there, better ones for the same price as Blue Moon. But, if I'm out somewhere, and it's the best stuff on tap, I'd probably still drink it.

For an Anheuser Busch beer, it's actually really, really good.

Also try New Belgium's Mothership Wit. I'm fortunate to live within 50 miles of 5 really awesome breweries:

New Belgium
Odell's
Oskar Blue's
Left Hand Brewery
Crabtree Brewing

I love Fort Collins!

For people who are dieting, and still want their beer, there are Beck's Premium Light (63 calories) and MGD64 (64 calories). I've tried them both, and my opinion is to spend the extra $1 for the Becks. The MGD64 is REALLY watery. The Becks still manages to deliver a solid beer for a small amount of calories.
