AOSHQ Liquor Summit

James Joyner writes about summertime drinking.

Sure, you could always emulate President Obama and have a Bud Light. But if you want a beer that’s both light going down and yet actually tastes good, nothing beats wheat. I’m particularly partial to Ayinger, Magic Hat’s Circus Boy, and Leinenkugel’s Sunset Wheat. But there are plenty of good ones out there. Shock Top, distributed by the makers of Michelob, is widely available. Widmer’s and Sam Adams hefeweizen. Or, in a pinch, you can go with Blue Moon, a favorite of Obama’s drinking buddy, Sergeant James Crowley.

I prefer the Paulaner Hefe myself, but tastes differ.

Now, we're talking summertime social drinking here, people, so forget about the Val-U-Rite you keep to help you sleep at night. Go read the whole thing, then come back here and tell me what you think.

Mojitos? Are they too trendy right now? (Although Lauraw brought mint from her own garden to the last Moron Meetup!)
Rieslings? Too sweet?
Martinis? Too BondJamesBond? (Although noted martini snob Judge Bork calls them "a distinctly American invention.")
