I DO LOVE BEER - UNCOMPLICATED, SIMPLE, LIGHT CRISP PILSNER STYLE. I HAVE TO BE IN A VERY SPECIAL MOOD FOR AN OVERLY HOPPY BEER EXPERIENCE OR PORTER (NORMALLY WITH FOOD-WELL PAIRED). THE SUMMER PROVES TO BE A TIME FOR BASICALLY JUST SLAMMING THEM ONE AFTER ANOTHER AROUND THE WEBER OR FISHING POND. WELL, THE BEER (AND CHIPS, FRIES AND PORK FAT) HAS CAUGHT UP TO MY PHYSIQUE AND I HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE-LIGHTER (BELIEVE IT OR NOT) OR LESS. ENTER LABATT 52. SURE, IT IS ONE NOTCH UP FROM SELTZER BUT IT HAS ALL OF THE QUALITIES I LIKE IN A SUMMER BEER AND AT 52 CALORIES A BOTTLE IT IS A WELCOME ADDITION TO MY COOLER.
