Bonneville America Forums Forums Off Topic Discussion Forums Lounge Blue Moon

I don't know how to feel about it. After all swill is swill and Coors is the king of swill. Was having a burger at Ruby Tuesday's and ordered a non-happy hour draught: Blue Moon. Served in a nice pilsner style glass, this draught was delicious. The waitress delivered it with a slice of orange placed on the rim of the glass. Thought at first, OMG another swill that needs not a lime, but an orange! This is the first time for me. I might have pinched one or two bottles during the GA Rally last May, but then there is a reason why you serve the finest wine first...So I never really knew the flavor of this brew. Makes me yearn for dinqua's 110 IBU IPA Coors. What a joke. But they do license a great beer. Imagine. A non-swill brew made by the king of swill, served in a swill food flavored restaurant. That Blue Moon of Tennessee kept me shine'n!

Y'all have a nice day! ya'hear?

Just remember the man rule...

Men don't put fruit in their beer.

What do you know about being a man doody head!....

Oh...wait ...wrong thread....!

Blue Moon is an ok wheat beer. There are much better Heffeweissen out there. A couple of our local brewery/pubs make it. yyyyuuuuuuummmmmmm
Dang, I'm going to one for lunch today, and can't partake as I'm working.
Might have to go back tonight for one!

No fair hijacking this thread...I'm going to go search my local packie (beer retailer) for this beer of which you speak...so that I may be enlightened and speak with some knowledge on this in the future!

Blue Moon sucketh.

Ryan, Bluemoon rules!!!! I brought to the noreaster and to Ga and it was very popular with everyone but a certain liquor swilling blue bike rider.... not naming any names or nuthin' .... ride safe.... Gordon

And weren't we all making fun of a certain someone for openly admitting that he enjoyed it...Gordon?

Hey...it's ok baby.

Blue Moon in bottles had been marketed here since it came out. The wheat flavor is fine with me, but personally, I can't stand any citrus flavor added to beer.

I heard this citrus mess started when the old Coronas were served in Mexico. They originally had steel caps that left rust on the bottle. Bartenders would put a lime (or sometimes lemon) on the top of the bottle to wipe the rust off. They no longer have the rusting caps, but for some reason the Americanos thought you were supposed to put the lime IN the beer. It caused such a sales craze for Corona, their ads even promted the idea. Who cares if it ruins the taste of the beer, it made them lots of money!

Yeah, right. I'd rather have any beer without fruit...I think it ruins the flavor of even swill.

Now for a REAL beer from south of the border, ya gots yur....Dos Equis Dark!!!

(and I don't care if it's brewed with "pure" Tijuana River water or NOT.....it's GOOOOOOOOD!)

Can't forget Pacifico!

I like Tecate when I eat mexican food.

PACIFICO???!!!

Why you monkey-p*ss swilling retard you!(yeah Mark, I felt a little LEFT OUT at that last party o' yours)

YOU have NO IDEA what constitutes a fine brew, my friend!!!

Oh...don't get me all revved up again brother Dwight!

Don't worry Dwight, the only thing you really missed was a couple of poopyheads trying to jack up their post counts!

"...you caught me standing alone..."
i thought you were talking about Rodgers and Hart

If you like Blue Moon try Hoegarden

Nothing wrong with Blue Moon and adding a little citrus zing. Corona drinkers have been doing it for years.

Curl up on the couch with your life-partner in Massachussetts for an episode of Will and Grace or perhaps a soccer game.

Next thing you know you'll be buying a Cardinal Red (yet another shade of pink) motorcycle.

As I own a nut-sack, it's Guinness for me.

I need a cigarette, I'll be quiet now.

Tom

With all this talk about good brew... I think I'll saddle up Black Beauty tommorrow and mosey on out to the Griffin Tavern (a great little British Tavern here in the Commonwealth) and enjoy a nice hand pulled Boddingtons or two while warming my arse by the real wood fire in the fireplace. I'll be sure and toast all my Triumph brothers and sisters while there. Whatever you're holding, hoist em high... salute!

try Hoegarden

Oh yeah. Very good stuff. Costco recently had a Belgian beer sampler pack; three different Belgian beers in an eighteen pack. Stella Artois an excellent Lager, Hoegarden really good for a sweet beer and a blonde ale forget the name drank it all so I don't have a bottle .

My own preference is for something really hoppy. I like the bite. India pale ales usually work .

I had a good beer the other day...I think it was called BEER! After 4 BEERS, I got bit pretty good and had to hoppy off to bed!

best beer I have had in a long time was at a brew pub up here (can only get it in the winter) it's called "Blue Monk Ale".

Well, if you like dark ones.. and I mean DARK then this is the beer for you. Also it happens to be 8% which is just a nice added benefit

Blue Moon is a decent example of a Belgian Wit. But, for some of the finest in the world try Ommegang Belgian Beers
which also happens to be brewed and cave conditioned in Upstate New York! This stuff is fantastic! They sell it everywhere here. Next NorEaster I'll be sure to have some on hand for ya to sample.

One of my favorite dark beers is MacTarnahan's Blackwatch Cream Porter

Soren

So here's a tip for those of you who like Blue Moon but not the slice of orange: tell the barman NOT to put an orange in!

This tip also works great if you want a margarita without an umbrella; a brandy Alexander without a cherry; or a dozen buffalo wings without a stick of celery.

Siggy

Unfortunately, Siggy, Blue Moon has citrus flavor already in the beer. If they would take that out, I'd probably like it.

Blue moon in bottle=> Swill
Blue moon on tap, priceless!

Fathinating. I alwayth thought the pith came with the beer.

Had some brew when I was in Virginia few years backthat was Pretty good. But being from western New York, still prefer Genesee 12 Horse Ale.

Just LOVE beer!!!!! I've been fortunate enough to have been a bartender, and even better a bar manager. I use to love ordering new stuff every week to "sample". Love many of the belgiums.
Dam you Dinqua, I almost forgot about Ommegang, now I have to find some, or have my chef friend order me some.
Love some of the trappist beers. Use to serve Chimay and Orval in nice corked bottles at the restaurant I worked in. Goes great with bison.
I know the owner of Blue Point here on LI. If anyone ever wants to set up a tour and drink all the free beer you want let me know. Some good beers and they just won a gold medal this year.
