Leinenkugel’s Red Lager
Beer-a-Day #351 
Our family’s Better Red. Brewed since 1993 with five barley malts, two of which are specially roasted, and Cluster and Mt. Hood hops for a smooth, hearty, robust taste no other Red can match.
Clear amber with an off-white head. Light malty aroma. A bit sweet with a bit of roastiness. Pretty good.

Leinenkugel’s Fireside Nut Brown Ale is a seasonal release from Leinie and here is what they have to say about it… While the star of this holiday season is the roasted malt character, the well-balanced flavor and brilliant amber tones give Leinenkugel’s Fireside Nut Brown a comforting approachability that you don’t experience in traditional English-style

We consider ourselves somewhat of experts when it comes to Octoberfest. We know how to serve up brats, party all day & night, and raise our liters of beer in celebration. We may even go as far as to consider ourselves experts on the Oktoberfest beer style, even though we are both a bit of
Leinenkugel’s Classic Amber

Beer-a-Day #159 Our signature all-malt lager is a celebration of genuine ingredients, time-honored brewing traditions and authentic craft beer flavor. With its brilliant amber color, premium blend of Pale, Caramel and Munich malts, and subtle, yet complex citric hoppiness, you simply can’t go wrong with a Classic. Well Ron liked this, his wife less so.

I finally got around to sampling the new Leinenkugel Classic Amber. Leinenkugel is not a beer I would normally pick up from the shelves at my local candy store. The name sounds so European that you would never guess that it is made in Wisconsin. (German in origin if you want to look it up) The

Beer-a-Day #53 Pours a clear, pale yellow, with a white head that quickly drops. Not much aroma; what I do get reminds me of cheese and toast. Flavor is very light.

Leinenkugel’s 1888 Bock
about 1 year ago - No comments
Beer-a-Day #49 This is a new offering from Leinie, based on an old family recipe. Medium brown, very clear, with a tan head. Not much lacing left on the glass. Fairly malty and, I’m sad to say, with a little sulfur in the aroma. More maltiness in the taste and more hops than I expected.
Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy

We finally got some warmer weather here in Western Maryland. And, with all the rain we’ve been getting, the hill that is my backyard was starting to get overgrown. Sadly, the manual mower that I’ve been using for the last two years just isn’t up to the job, so I broke down and bought an

I really wish I could get Leinenkugel’s out here in Western Canada.
I suppose I’ll have to settle for our ten dozen microbrews. *dramatic sigh*
Seriously though, aside from the 312 in Chicago, Leinenkugels was the best beer I have ever had in the USA. (Which is to say, better than about half a dozen types I tried.)

Leinenkugel’s has been a bit hit-or-miss for me. Are you seeing any beers from Portland or Seattle? I’d think you’d find a couple of winners there.
