Milwaukee's Largest Fish Fry

On Wednesday after work, Amanda and I had a bunch of friends over and then we headed over to Milwaukee's Largest Fish Fry.

I got home from work about the same time everyone was getting here, so I changed real quick and headed into the back yard. Well our friends had brought some beer - which was great, I really wanted one. They'd brought Guinness and Bud Light Lime. Well I know I like Guinness, but I really wanted something lighter, so I asked for a Bud Light Lime. Amanda was surprised because she knows that I don't really care for light beers, and I'd never had Bud Light Lime before.

Well I may not typically be a light beer drinker, but there have been several occassions where at the end of a long, hot day outside I've gone out with friends and gotten a pitcher of Bud Light, so I figured it would be safe to say that in the mood I was in I would enjoy the Bud Light Lime. I did. It's light and citrusy. Not a lot of body, and the lime adds more flavor than I've usually tasted in a light beer. I won't drink it often, but I think I could incorporate this beer into my summer beers. And being from a major brewery, it's easy to find.

Then we headed over. Milwaukee's Largest Fish Fry is in it's second year and it ran for 2 days - Wednesday and Thursday - at State Fair Park. The proceeds went to benefit Hunger Task Force. It didn't seem very well organized, but I had a great time. While we were there I had a Leinenkugel's Honey Weiss. I haven't had one in a long time, since they didn't strike me as anything memorable. I enjoyed it. It's definately got a nice flavor, but I still don't believe it's a very memorable beer.
