I first tried grapefruit beer in EPCOT's World Showcase Germany. It was very good but that beer is not available in Louisiana. Hokus Pokus is working on becoming the distributor for it in LA.

I've had two in the last few weeks, one was an IPA (did not like) and the other was basically a grapefruit Zima (3.5% alc) and it was $11 for a four pack.

I saw a commercial for Leinenkugel's out of Wsconsin. Anyone try this? Any good?

Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin available there?

I don't know if it is the best.

Sounds like you are talking about the Stegl Radler (sp?). Its basically a beer with grapefruit juice added* and is sold in 4 packs. Its a killer summer time beer. I've seen it around Southeast LA (mainly in restaurants) but also in a couple retail shops.

*Beer mavens this is not a textbook definition I am sure, but brevity.

Stiegl Radler is great in the summer but he is talking about this-



It's not available in LA.

I saw Stiegl Radler awhile back at Calandro's. It would be my vote.

I've seen Steigl Radler at Bin-Q Liquor on Perkins.
They have it on draft at the Bulldog.

You can always make your own. Buy yourself a 6 pack of a nice clean bittering IPA. Maybe something like Lagunitas IPA, then buy some grapefruit juice. Play around with the ratios to your desired taste. Basically a beer cocktail. Start small though, like an oz of juice to 12 oz. of beer and gradually adjust to what you like.

I did this with a homebrew one time just because i was curious.

I just picked up a 6-pack of the Leinenkugel's at LeBlanc's. Pretty damn good. Best I've had so far other than the Schofferhoffer.
