Grolsh White? Is it a wit? I'm not fond of regular Grolsh.

Grolsch has a Weizen, but not a Wit:

Doesn't appear to be available in the U.S.

Pardon me, it is Grolsch Weizen... my mistake. To my knowledge you can only get it in Ontario, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Taking to a Grolsch distributor a while back I mentioned to him being the U.K. on holiday, and just missing it's release in 330 ml bottles there, and asked if there were any plans of it coming to Canada and or the USA, and he mentioned that they were tinkering with the idea of sending it across in the Swing-top bottles... so I was pleasently surprised when I found it. Very good unfiltered wit-bier.

Cheers all!

Bombshelter Lager
Temporary Vacation Ale

I'm on a vacation of sorts myself this weekend. I've been laying off the beer as part of a diet. I decided to take a vacation from it (the diet). Broke out the 1L krugs after mowing the yard today and I'm enjoying my helles. I'm sure the maibock will be next and I should really check on the progress of the dunkel and dopplebock.

I'm on semi vacation as well. I've got to be home most of the week because we have workmen coming. New cabinets and granite counter tops for the wife's kitchen. I hope to split the time at home with her though. I can work partly from home so it won't be that bad.
