Summer Beer choices Landshark vs Summer Shandy

To kick off this Summer I hit up the local boozery store with a mixed case of summer beer six packs. One of the re-occurring beers is going to be Jimmy Buffet's Island Landshark. great detail on the bottle. Does not feel as heavy as Corona Extra and tasted great with a lime. $6 price-point. The other beer, I fell in love with this Father's day was a lemon summer Shandy from Wisconsin with the zingy flavor already in it! So when i invite you to a bar-b-q you will know what to bring. It's basically a light wheat beer with the twist in it.

Other good choices are Modelos in the can, Dixie from New Orleans (one step above a PBR) and reasonable sixer price point. If you want to get a little fancier Brooklyn Summer Ale is pretty good but find it a little bitter. My old standby when it is really hot is Miller Lite. Yes, this beer snob also knows how to economize when it is sweltering and you just want a guzzler with all the taste of a Budweiser and less calories. A ML pounder is the beer of choice during cocktail hour on the train ride home from Manhattan. Nothing fancy and no hang-over the next day.
