^ They didnt ship any.... they had problems at the brewery . You are talking about the Wheat 22oz?

 

That sucks. Never seen the 22oz. My wife loves the regular seasonal Wheat Ale with the red label. Weird thing is, we have had it a lot but not this year. We got several packs then, went to BevMo to restock and there was one VERY dusty 6pack with twist-offs (meaning, very old) but we bought it anyway and it was nasty, skunked to hell. Haven't seen it since at any Peninsula BevMo's but the one in Antioch has a few, among others. Just odd is all.

What was with the 22oz - was it a special brew like the Harvest series?

 

There's always a bunch of the Sierra Wheat at the grocery store I frequent. There was some tonight even! I rarely see the slot empty.

So what beer pairs well with Stouffer's Mac & Cheese?

 

I'm down for a BAIC beerfest!

 

Hmm. Location of beer? PM me if you don't mind, I am down for a drive. Did you notice if they were twist-offs or not? Hoping not.

Beer... How about a rubbish bin?

Seriously though, something light like a lager - Longboard would be an excellent choice but I think you don't like it for some reason. It's light, yeast-less flavor would nicely complement the fairly mild flavors of pasta like mac and cheese, but never had the packaged stuff so I dunno about that. My real suggestion would be a bottle of Augustiner Edelstoff, which is the best lager-style beer I have ever had. Their Helles is similar and a bit drier.

Usually I like a good ale with food, but the yeasty overtones in even something as mild as a Sierra Pale would possibly not be friendly with the subtle flavors of mac and cheese. For example, if I have something like fettucini alfredo, I would not have it with an ale or a dark wine. It would be a lager/helle like Augustiner or a white like Gewurztraminer. American or light hefs could be good too, but something like a Franziskaner would have too much spice to it. IMHO.

 

While moving stuff into a friends house yesterday she said "I have two beers in the fridge, do you guys want them?" I debated it for .5 seconds and then said sure. She handed me a Lagunitas Maximus IPA..

WOW that was thick, but pretty good. On an empty stomach I was headed towards We had to run to In n Out to fill my gut!

I feel like I tried to stop a speeding bus with my face. Is soggy still alive?
