I gotta find some down here in IL, too.
Had some last week, and it was great!

Capitol has never really impressed me. Decent, but not a must-buy.

The strength of the brewery is really in their seasonal brews.
Have you tried the Maibock? It's a damn good beer.

I haven't. I may just hold it against them that my first Capitol was an old Hefe Weisen.

Toddler, don't waste your time with their maibock, it's their Blonde Doppelbock that's worth a pinch in the spring. In the fall, go with their Autumnal Fire (you might be able to find a 6er or 2 around. Good Luck.

Coupla things.


1. Capitol's wheat beer is to my taste buds their weakest offering. Even if it's been fresh, it wouldn't have been impressive. All banana, no character.
2. Mojo knows best. The Blonde Doppel and Autmnal Fire are very solid beers, better than their price category.
3. Cap's strength is not in a Bell's-like ability to wow you with something amazing and top-shelf (see: Lake Louie, Central Waters), but with being a very solid for the money and easy to find. See also: Spotted Cow.
4. To that end, a 12 pack of Cap Amber in cans is one of the things I miss most now. Cans crush down in the recycling so it doesn't overflow, they weigh and cost less, take up less fridge room, and if you pour into a nice pint glass, you don't taste can. FUCK I miss those 12'ers.


You don't miss those solid, everyday pace beers like most of Capitol's offerings until you move to somewhere that Germans didn't settle.

But seriously, Cap'N is right as rain on his points about Cap Brews. Speaking of, I just bought a sixer of 1 year aged Blonde Dopplebock. Got one in the fridge right now to try sometime this week.

I kind of feel like I just watched an ad paid for by the aluminum industry.

I'm a believer. And when you carry your groceries in a backpack, you start getting serious about how much liquid you neeeeeed to buy. Also, fuck me but my recycling fills up fast with bottles. It's amazing. I had to decide whether to have one more beer the other night or not, considering the container was full.


(Also I did an engineering paper on cans in grad school and I guess a lot of it stuck.)
