My friend from work, Dave, knows that I love good beer. He and I have traveled on business together quite a bit especially to the Peoples Republic of Kanas (“PRK”). I have fun with the PRK quite a bit but hey they don’t have the bizarre and strange liquor laws that Oklahoma has. For instance, I can get Fat Tire beer in the PRK but I cannot buy it in Oklahoma at all.
Dave showed up at work today with another find he scored in Kansas, Leinenkugel’s Creamy Dark Lager. Made in Wisconsin. He said that you cannot get it here in Oklahoma. I believe it, it doesn’t have the goofy Oklahoma symbol on it. Check out their web site.
Now, generally I’m not much of a lager guy. I don’t know why, I just haven’t cared for them. The taste always seems a little “thin” to me as opposed to full bodied.
This Leinenkugel’s lager is different. It has lots of body and a nice creamy, slightly flavor to it. I love it. I drank both bottles. Beer is not properly evaluated on just one bottle. It takes two. Manlaw, check it out.
Dave, thanks for the beers.!
I rate them 3.5 stars out of 4. Which is great.
You’re so funny: PRK!!!
I don’t really like beer, but if you’re going for the unusual, check out Wasatch Brewery’s (based in Park City, UT) Polygamy Porter(ad slogan: you can’t have just one). The name caused quite a stir in 80% Mormon Utah when if first came out but the beer was popular with the jack-Mormons and other rebels. (we’re not LDS.)
caveat: I’ve never tasted this beer, and all UT beer is limited to 3% alcohol – talk about strange liquor laws, UT is really bizarre.
@Jen Jilks – That’s my running joke. I call it PRK because they of their regulatory stance. I think it is an awesome state though.
@Janie – I have had the Polygamy Porter a few times at the airport as I’ve had layovers during my travels. It is pretty good!
I like the PRK. My Friend Randy is from Newton, KS. I will tell him it is our name for Kansas.
I will remember that if I am ever in Kansas. I have not seen that label around here.
Being from Wisconsin, I’m quite familiar with the Leinie brand – good stuff! Another local brew I really like is New Glarus Spotted Cow (a fitting name for a Wisconsin beer!). Enjoy!!
@David – I’m not dissin Kanas. I’m a Kansas fan. PRK is my pet name.
@Sandy Carlson – I bet you can buy the beer in Connecticut.
@Lance – Thanks for stopping by. I will drink any beer named New Glarus Spotted Cow.
