    A wedding? Having been married 17 years, I'd go with Birth of Tragedy or Mother of All Storms.

    Great choice. Can you get a keg.
    If not, how about Southern Tier Live.
    It has been a big hit every time I have served it this summer

    I'm gonna have to disagree with the sentiment that Sunshine Pils is better than Prima, but they're both great, and definitely better than Pennant. Summer Love is pretty damn tasty, even my mom likes it, and she hates beer. Plus it's not too much flavor to scare off macro people.

    But the real question is, what do you have stashed away that you are you cracking for yourself on the big day?

    My nod goes toward hefeweizen when it comes to trying to crowd please. Either one of the main Germans or some Kellerweis. But of the two in the poll, I definitely go Prima Pils.

    StB all day long.

    No, but seriously, a second vote for Sunshine Pils if that's an option. If not...eh, Pennant. I'm not a huge fan of Prima for whatever reason.

    Stick with the pils and don't throw out anything at your reception that will clash with the food you are serving. Both selections you listed would be fine before, during and after dinner. Also neither of those is very high abv so your guests can indulge themselves after dancing and to make many toasts. Neither one will confuse the palates of any of your guests and become an unwanted topic of conversation. "Why did you pick this beer? You know uncle henry likes real beer."

    I would go with the Brooklyn. While most of us probably wouldn't say this, many of your uninitiated guests may find Prima Pils to be bitter. On the other hand, if you get to keep the leftovers I would go with Victory. Good choice on the Allagash btw.
