CaptMike, Kalik would be nice, but they don't sell them here! I dragged a couple of 6's home one year, and they just aren't the same.

Newcastles are real nice as long as they are fresh, right off of the truck. Like St Pauli Girls, if they sit at the store for more than a couple of weeks they start to turn. There is a liquor store that closes for the winter in Wellfleet on 6 close to PJ's clam shack, when it opens in March they restock with fresh beer and I'll drop in there and do the newkies for a couple of weeks.

Bass Ale is nice for a change of pace. Stella Artois are too.
Kalik was bought by anheisuer-busch about a year ago and they're doing some limited release along the east coast now. It's the same beer made in the same brewery but it probably loses something in the transport. One liquor store I go to orders it for me. I wish they imported the cans that would be awesome for the boat/beach. Honestly even if they're not as good here as in the bahamas it still feels good to see that label haha. Regardless to each his own.
