I’ve yet to find a domestic wheat beer worth it’s salt. The only one that comes even close (and it’s still pretty far off) is Sam Adams Summer Ale.

You obviously haven't found Pyramid Hefeweizen from Seattle--by far the best domestic I've found. I'm sure you would like it better than Sam Adams, given the other beers in your list.

Hoegaarden is closely duplicated by Celis White. I am told Mr. Celis used to be the Hoegaarden brewmaster before he emigrated to the US.

Ahh, sweet vindication....

As I said then, it’s not that 2BC is great wine, it isn’t. But, it’s decent for $2/bottle (as good as most $8-10 bottles) and good for the consumer as it forces others to reduce prices.

To be honest, I haven’t bought any for several years, just got tired of it.

Two buck Chuck was served at the CPAC Ronald Reagan Dinner a few years back. When I made a comment to others at the table about the choice of wine, I was told it was THREE buck Chuck because the taxes were higher on liquor in Virginia than my home state of California. (That was a surprise!)
When I saw the wine, I knew I was in the presence of real conservatives. Spend the money on the talent, not the drinks.
