It's on the list of the world's greatest beers I've ever come across.
I would like to try it, but I can't find it up here.
Long ago, during my beer drinking days, usually following a meet, game or hard workout in 95+ degree Valley weather, my taste in beer ranged from what I considered good stuff, to the cheapest crap.
Miller's High Life was at the top of my list.
Through a cheap market beer, dark Harlequin, I developed a fondness for black Bavarian.
My neighbors who shop at a German Deli, infrequently bring me back something good in the potent 7-8.5% alcohol range.
Eva gave me a bottle of wheat beer, cautioning me not to drink and drive.
She was right.
Bill gave me a bottle labelled Schvartz something or other, telling me not to walk.
He was right also.
The fact that I used to like the dark beer served at Shakey's, is all anybody need know about the state of my beer sophistication.
Is Shakey's still in business?
