    In Missouri we have a beer made by Boulevard Brewer. They are based in Kansas City. They have a great unfiltered wheat beer and in March they have an Irish ale that is great also.

    I say, just forget about beer and drink tasty mixed drinks.

    Well I can see that you like beer that isn't bitter or hoppy so I suggest another Belgian witbier, hoegaarden.

    Personally I love Fat Tire, Old Meck (strictly a Charlottean beer, sorry), New Glarus Fat Squirrel or Spotted Cow. There is a place here in Charlotte called Taco Mac http://tacomac.com/brewniversity/ that has a 5 or 6 page beer menu. My husband and I have cards that log all of the different types of beers we drink so we can aquire prizes when we hit certain milestones. I promise we are not alcoholics. :)

    I do not suggest Bacardi 151. I can shoot anything without too much issue. That was a whole new experience in itself. I still shudder at the thought.

    Skinny girl tangerine vodka? Yum!

    My favourites are usually micros, Granville Island brewing (in Vancouver, BC though...), for bigger companies, at least in Canada, I like Rickards or Alexander Keiths. As for US beer, Pyramid Hefeweizen is good. My absolute favourite now is an Extra Special Bitter from a little Pizza, Beer and Wedding Chapel (the owner is an ordained minister!) just outside Bellingham, Washington, called the North Fork.
