In case you hadn't noticed, the limited run of El CuCuy is back in local liquor stores. I believe I overheard the clerk at Ranch Acres say Big Jamoke arrives later this month as an early Christmas present.

Yep, I went last Friday to get Oktoberfest (the one I still haven't had because he was out) and he had cases upon cases of this. I bought one bomber. Love this stuff.

One bomber?
You piker.
This is one to buy by the case, savor and cry like a baby after the last one is gone.

I loved it more at last year's price.

No kidding, I didn't realize his bombers had gone to $7.99 until they had rung that up and the other case of beer I'd purchased and it came to $141. I was used to around $55 or $60 for a case of Marshall's bombers.
Since we are on a beer thread, I'm no fan of Hefeweisen due to the dirty dishrag tone it seems to impart to me, but I tried Santa Fe's Hefe and it's pretty darn good.

I prefer the genuine German Hefeweisen beers (Paulaner, Erdinger, and a few more I can't remember at the moment) to the American ones I have consumed.

Erdinger is a personal favorite

Do they have less of that dirty dishwater whang?

I like to savor just one...if I drink too much of the specialties, I get burned out.
Believe it or not, I'm not a HUGE beer drinker. But when I do, I'm drinking Marshalls almost 95 percent of the time.

I don't think I know what dirty dishwater whang tastes like.
Hefeweizens are yeasty by design (hence the "Hefe"). Perhaps you don't care for that taste.
Maybe we could choose a different descriptive than "whang"?

I was hoping maybe you would interpret that as me not being a drinker of larger beers (like quarts or 40s..LOL).

Make no mistake, I am large. Ask several on here.

Yet one more reason there's only one or two Choc varieties I've ever enjoyed. I had no idea "Hefe" was yeast or yeasty. See what kind of useful information gets passed along on TNF?

I'll have one of the specialty ones every 3-4 days to once a week until they are gone. I think I resisted the temptation to drink my last CuCuy from last year for a couple of months.
Just saw Hairy Bikers on History Channel brewing beer at the Krebs Brewing Co. Making Choc 1919.
Trying my first Marshall's sundown wheat. Not sure what I think of it yet, maybe this is one bit of my tastes that fits my salary.
