I must say that I have never heard of either beverage.
What are they like? How do they taste?
Blue Moon is a White Belgian style wheat ale brewed with valencia oranges.. Quite refreshing to me. They started out as a craft beer but became very popular and Coors bought them. Thankfully they didn't change the recipe.
Michelobe Ultra is a low carb beer so as you could probably imagine, it's a very lite flavored lager. But when you are counting carbs, every carb counts.
Thank you for your explanation, very informative.
Well, carbs don't bother me, indeed, they can offer much by way of flavour, so I doubt that Michelobe Ultra would attract me much, but I will admit that Blue Moon does sound pretty interesting.
Enjoy them.
If you are in the US, many bars have Blue Moon either on tap or individual servings if you want to try one without having to buy a 6 pack or more.
No, I'm not in the US, I'm Across The Pond, which is probably why I had never heard of these beverages.
But, thank you, for your information, it is very welcome.
A new beer from the Belgian legends at St Bernardus: St Bernardus Extra 4, a light (by Belgian standards) summer lager.
I’m back in France so it’s time for good wine! This is a Montrachet, one of my favorite Bourgogne. Look st the color!
Ah, an excellent white Burgundy, my very favourite wine.
And a 1er Cru Chassagne-Montrachet? Lovely.
Do enjoy.
And I like the shot of the cat. Lovely image.
Enjoying a few Stellas while watching sports...Women's football and U.S. Open golf...a good way to spend the afternoon.
An elegant white wine, a Chardonnay from Italy, Sergio Barale, Langhe Chardonnay Bussia 2013.

This evening's beer is from LHG (Left Handed Giant) and is an India Pale Ale called Cheeseburger Cavalry.
That sounds interesting. Where did you buy it at?
A local (but well stocked) off licence and deli.
They are an excellent British brewery; actually, my second beer tonight is Ramberget - a sort of India Pale Ale - from the same brewery.
If you know of a good off licence, ask them to consider stocking some of Buxton's beers - they really are very good.
