totally score
For Matt’s birthday this year, I accidentally stumbled upon Leinenkugel’s Explorer Variety pack (containing Sunset Wheat, Honey Weiss, Berry Weiss and Summer Shandy) at our local grocery store. While it’s not that unusual to find Leinenkugel’s where we live (especially now that Miller Brewing Company is their distributor), we haven’t been able to find the Berry Weiss since we moved from Wisconsin. We’ve made several trips to the grocery store since then, hoping to get lucky and find more in stock, but apparently, I had snagged the last one, and they weren’t expecting to get more.
So, I found the local distributor for Leinenkugel’s and they suggested I call the closest Total Wine, where lo and behold, they not only had the Explorer pack, but they had CASES of the Berry Weiss in stock as well. Aside from a few sips here and there from Matt’s bottle, I am staying away from the beer, but am really looking forward to enjoying one or two or twelve post-pregnancy. And, to think that they might actually have the Apple Spice and the Big Butt in the fall and winter makes my heart skip a beat.

Hey, I noticed at Harris Teeter here on the Hill that they have the Sunset Wheat and Berry Weiss too, so maybe they’ve got it at the one nearest you too!
