Dunkelweizen

What great night I had last night.  I went to my fellow craft beer enthusiast, Chis Connell's house and ate some great ribs and enjoyed some great beer.  I love getting together with Chris cause we can sit and discuss the finer points of craft beer and enjoy some good old fashion family time as well.  Before dinner we imbibed in a few amber wheat beers Chris had picked up at Trader Joe's while he was in Albuquerque.  It was a decent sipping beer that went well with the cool weather we had last night.  I would recommend trying other Dunkels before making this your go to dark wheat, but it was a nice beer that went well with the weather and company.
