really?

I tried this beer and I thought it was horrible. I could not even finish one. The only other beer that this has happened with is Abita Pecan. Both beers =

I asked a friend of mine from Wisconsin about Leinies while I was there last year. He said none of the locals drink that garbage, only tourists and southerners.

that is pretty strange. I know a lot of people from Wisconsin and they all love Leinenkugels. frankly, i don't think i've met a single person from Wisconsin that didn't list Leinies as one of their favorite beers. up here in the wisconsin border states you can find it on tap at most bars.

anyway, I think they make pretty good beer. they have a solid oktoberfest and honey weiss is also a very good beer.

When I lived in Madison WI there were plenty of folks drinking Leine's - the Honey Weiss is pretty good. But they make a lot of small brewery beers up there, New Glarus makes some outstanding stuff. Unfortunately you can only get it within the state of Wisconsin for some reason - no outside distribution :(

I've had the Spotted Cow before... it's above average, but nothing special.

It's rated a 'B' on beeradvocate, which is about right. That rates a little higher than most Leinenkugel brews, but I don't think there's a huge difference.

Well, except that we can get Leinenkugel down here and now Spotted Cow.

I enjoy Leinie's as well, particularly the Honey Weiss. Every time I visit Chicago I hit the Honey Weiss draft hard.

Sunset Wheat has a striking taste resemblance to Fruity Pebbles. Thats all I can think about when I drink one.

I agree with this.
