That probably has to do with the carbonation and texture... In the supermarkets here, they only stock a few decent Hefe-weissbier, Erdinger Hefe-weissbier and Weihenstephaner (they claim it's been brewing for over 1000 years...) Incidentally, my flat came with a wine cooler, which is used exclusively for beer cooling, although it never reaches the ideal temperature for beer (3 degrees C or 37.4 degrees Fahrenheit).

Keep your eyes open for anything from the Russian Rivery Brewery (Pliny the Elder & Younger esp), and Stone Brewing Co, Double Arrogant Bastard Ale is my favorite. As promised -

I will try to work up my own list for you. FWIW, the 90 minute IPA is also one of my faves. I did not know you were a beer-lover. I will try to work up my own list for you.

I grew up in Michigan so was drinking mostly Labatt (canadian beer). When I moved to Texas I found Shiner Bock and have been very happy, great beer. This year Shiner has a 101st anniversary beer that is very good too, it is a Czech pilsner. Makes for an interesting variation from the Bock, higher bitterness, lighter color and a bit higher alcohol content. Next time you are in DFW (or I believe they have some distribution in Houston now too) check out Rahr & Sons http://www.rahrbrewing.com/. Although the brewery is only about 5 years old, the Rahr family up in Minnesota has been in the business since before prohibition and are one of the largest suppliers of malt in the country. They have a good selection of IPA, Bock, Dark Lager, etc. They are still repairing damages to the brewery from the winter storm, but hopefully will be back open for the Saturday tour/party soon, $7 for 3 beers and keep the glass, can't beat that.
