Another shot at a good, light, summertime American beer. Again, for my co-baseball coach and friend Dennis.
This is just the classic American lager; think Budweiser. We'll see.
Name note: Dennis played semi-pro ball (he doesn't like to talk about it*), and one of his teammates may or may not have been a guy named Frank Truck. I'm not entirely sure of the back story, but - again, on fishing/drinking trips with his brothers - "Frank Truck" has turned into a catch-all expression.
If you catch the biggest fish? That's Frank Truck.
If you get your lure caught in a tree and you're attacked by a dogmonkey? That is also Frank Truck.
Superlative forms include "Francis Ford Truckula".
