No bar when you come in....only outbound. You'll have to get Bully to pick you up....with a Balashi....or two.....or six.....!

I'm saving my last couple for the Buffett show in DC in a month or so. I'm probably not going to get a chance to pick up more until November.

Love them all, but it was kinda nice to get back to my Bell's Hopslam, Great Lakes brewery, or Bud American Ale. I really like craft brews.

Swagmaster,

I love HopSlam Doyou live in MI? I have never tried the Balashi or Bright. Looking forward to it though. Went to the beer store today and got some Sierra Nevada Torpedo. Very Nice

At Ling and Sons, dh just paid $47.49 for a case and a half of Brights.

According to their website http://www.lingandsons.com/l, Balashi is $27.06 a case.

I enjoy the mini (8oz or so) cans of Balashi while relaxing by the pool at our place in Aruba. When out at the bar, I love Amstel Brite bottles!

Heinken is always great - but I can get it at home so I don't drink too much of it in Aruba. When we went to Amsterdam a couple years back - I couldn't get enough of the fresh Heinies!

Now I'm craving a beer - mmmm Guinness!

Andrea...What kind of trees have you been nibbling on?
Got any good recipes? Something that would compliment a good mug of Guiness? :^)
