| The Double Luck Brewery Recipe: |

Wheat beers are not particularly popular at the Double Luck, but to date, this is the
favorite recipe of our brewmeister.
With a distinct taste of citrus, spicy overtones, and a hint of clove, this beer goes well with German sausage,
red cabbage, and pretzels.
The name of this style of beer reminds me of the story of a visitor in the Hawaiian Islands who asked a local, "Is it pronounced 'hah wah ee' or 'hah vah ee'?"
"It's 'hah vah ee'," replied the local.
"Thank you very much," said the visitor.
"You're velcome," replied the local.
And of course, this reminds me of the story about the couple driving through East Texas for the first time. They saw a road sign indicating "Nacogdoches 30 miles", and got into an argument over the pronunciation of that name. Being unable to resolve the argument after a few moments, they settled back to watch as the beautiful country side in east Texas passed by.
After a few more miles, another road sign indicating "Nacogdoches 15 miles" started the argument all over again. Still unable to resolve the argument, they once again settled back to watch the scenery as they continued their drive.
Finally, they saw a sign indicating "Nacogdoches City Limit", and the argument got so heated that they knew they had to resolve it so they could relax and enjoy the rest of their trip.
Since it was nearly lunch time, they stopped at a restaurant. The gentleman explained to the hostess, "We have been seeing signs for miles, and have been arguing about how to pronounce the name of this place. Would you settle the argument for us? Can you please say the name of this place very, very slowly?"
The young lady smiled sweetly and said, "Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrr gerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr keeeeeeeeeeng."
