Sean picked up a bunch of new beers from Kappys, including one which is the subject of our buyer beware.  The Wild Blue, brewed by &#8220;Blue Dawg Brewing&#8221;, is actually a product of Anheuser-Busch.  This also happens to be the only beer brewed under this label and, after having reviewed it, this is a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>We weren&#8217;t quite sure what they were shooting for here.  It&#8217;s a fruit beer, brewed in a lager style, yet the alcohol content is 8%.  The &#8220;beer&#8221; ends up coming off more as a syrupy mess that neither looks nor tastes like a beer.  You can read the review <a href=\"http:\/\/www.2beerguys.com\/reviews\/00573.php\">here<\/a>. So buyer beware on two fronts.  One, the beer sucks.  Two, it&#8217;s not brewed by Blue Dawg Brewing, it&#8217;s brewed by Anheuser-Busch.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the reviews went well.  We had the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.2beerguys.com\/reviews\/00574.php\">Anchor Bock Beer<\/a>, we re-reviewed the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.2beerguys.com\/boulderbeer\/beers\/boulderneversummerale.html\">Boulder Beer Never Summer Ale<\/a>, and we finished with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.2beerguys.com\/reviews\/00575.php\">Flying Dog Kerberos<\/a>, kindly provided by Steph K at Flying Dog Ales.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers!<\/p>\n<p>Ian<br \/>\nDrink craft beer.
