I want to bathe myself in Duchesse!

Love the article, why didn't you write all my term papers in college for me?

I have found that many people who don't normally drink beer (my mom, cooler-sipping friends) actually enjoy a good hefeweizen. Just about any good one with a wedge of lemon is delightful, even to the most dubious of palates. Of course most beer-dislike is caused by bad associations, I think. And bad mass-produced beer. Hand even the most ardent "beer-hater" a nice hef on a hot summer day, and he's bound to enoy it.

Sadly, I don't think that Brouwer's offers sampler trays at all....they may give you a single sample here and there if you ask nicely though. And Jameson, if you happen to be the wine/beer guru at Broadway Market, I believe you once special ordered a case of Deschutes Abyss for me....god bless you.

Beer haters might also love Elliott Bay Brewery's draft concoction of Luna Weizen (light wheat) and said Framboise. Undeniably tasty, even for those of us who go for the bitter, strong stuff.

Ephemere from Unibroue in Quebec. Apple-flavored but not heavy and cloying like Lindemans. To toot my own horn, check out the beer selection at the Broadway Market QFC.

I don't like beer, but I do drink that Framboise - it totally tastes like juice! It's also available at the Stumbling Monk.

Everyone likes Stella. And Maritime's Old Seattle Lager. For German-beer beginners, I believe the Prost/Bierstube/Feuerabend trifecta all offer flights for tasting. I've gotta stop by Brouwer's and see if they do, too.

Manny's???? While I like it, there's no way in hell a non-beer drinker will enjoy it. Honestly, as much as it pains me, a person who truly doesn't like the taste of beer is going to be happiest with a Coors Light. Of course they could simply order a glass of water and achieve the same taste. As far as a real suggestion, Stella Artois is the pick.
