I don’t like beer and I don’t drink it. In fact my drink has been a Long Island Iced Tea or a tequilla. When that isn’t available, a cola. Up until last year. Now it is just water. Wether it has ice, lemon or plain. And drink at home lots of the 0 calorie iced tea mixes and pour the packets into bottles of water for flavor. This has started me also ordering a drink that is a blend of iced tea and lemonade called an Arnold Palmer.

So the other day while out at dinner, at the retaurant everyone was drinking drinks and wine, I had water. We went to a bar afterward and it was suggested I try a lemon beer. Everyone had one, so I gave it a sip and actually enjoy it. http://www.leinie.com/summer_shandy.html Summer Shandy

Asking at work to someone that brews beer at home, and another who is a beer and wine gourmet, I asked them about it. After some trying to remember the name we came up with it. So yesterday, we stopped after work at a local bar, they did not have the lemon, but had another flavored beer. http://www.leinie.com/berry_weiss.html Berry Weiss

Next time surrounded by drinkers, I’ll try and order one, and if it is not there, I can go back to my Arnold Palmer or water.
