This is just too funny. At least I know what NOT to try... Here is a short quote from Joe Sixpacks blog,
"...You might say MGD Lemonade 64 is nothing more than an alcohol delivery device, but it doesn't do even that very well.
A 150-pound woman could commence drinking one bottle of MGD 64 Lemonade every 15 minutes, and after an hour and a half (a full sixpack!) she still couldn't get herself pulled over for DUI. She would, however, have consumed 384 calories - about the same as a McDonald's Sausage McMuffin...."

Born on the 4th of July!
As a was explaining the brewing process to a friend who happened by, the boil started unexpectedly and in my rush to get the first hops in I grabbed the wrong bag and dumped them in..... soooo...... it will be an all new beer! Put Palisade in for the bittering hops and Sterling for the flavor/aroma hops instead of the other way around. Meant to look up the hops and see what they are but have yet to get around to that. My guess is I will drink it when it's done.
On another note.
The Amber Ale I brewed a few weeks ago finished its primary fermentation and I decided to try something. I had planned on kegging half and bottling half, 10 gallon batch, and have heard allot on the uselessness of secondary. Now I have always made very clear beers and think it's due to the secondary fermentation. But I put half right in the keg and the other half in a carboy to bottle in a couple more weeks. The kegged half I started drinking last week, it did not clear out very well, so I dubbed it Merriman Mud Ale. It tastes great and has had good reviews from samplers who happen by, and has cleared a little but not much. The big test will be a side by side comparison after the bottles are ready.
Cheers!
