However, I couldn&#8217;t help myself when I saw that it was in stock. Last summer I was lucky enough to find this in two stores in the Twin Cities and I was desperate to get more. Here in Mountain View it seems like everyone loves the stuff since the brewery that makes it, 21st-Amendement, sells all over the place. That&#8217;s not a bad thing, and here&#8217;s hoping that maybe they&#8217;ve just gone big and amped up their distribution and I could see the same availability back home.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, back to the beer on hand. Hell or High Watermelon is a wheat beer and comes with all the trappings of a standard wheat: it&#8217;s light, fruity, and refreshing on a summer day. Instead of the usual lemon or orange citrus that most wheats have, this has been brewed with watermelon giving it a unique flavor. There have been several beers that have evoked a similar refreshing, yet flavorful lightness: a rhubarb beer I tried at a beerfest and a rose-hip infused beer. Unfortunately I cannot remember their names or brewers so I&#8217;ll probably never try those again. This watermelon however, I shall be enjoying all week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now this is not the first time I&#8217;ve tried this beer, so I&#8217;m cheating a bit.
