My Favorite Things: Stiegl Radler

I have found a new love in my life and thankfully my husband isn't too jealous. In fact we enjoy both partaking in my new found love together...OK get your mind out of the gutter.  I'm talking about beer. 



Recently, while out with some friends this past weekend at a place I had never been to called Haus up North of Plaza, I experienced this new amazing beer that I think ever woman can enjoy, even those who say they don't like beer.  It's called Stiegal Radler and it is, get this, a grapefruit flavored beer.  It's seriously refreshing and that could be due to the fact that is only has like 2.5% alcohol.  I was able to take massive gulps of this stuff and I am not a beer chugger by trade.  

So yeah it's not a super manly beer that the hardcore drinkers might like, but it is a new favorite of mine and I feel it is a good starting place for any person who is unsure about getting into beers.  It still has that nice beer aftertaste, and thankfully the grapefruit flavor doesn't make it bitter like an IPA (not my favorite kind).  And the best part is anytime I want it I don't have to pay $7 a pint like I had to at Haus.  I found a 4 pack of 16 ounce cans at Gomers Fine Wine and Spirits here in Kansas City for only $9.  $2.25 a pint sounds way better to me.
