What is/are your favorite beer(s) outside of the buds, millers, coors of the world.

I'm a beer lover and love to try new beers and wear out the list at flying saucer's around the country. Always looking for new things to try.

Plus maybe this will provide a lively conversation in the lull of the summer

There will be 50 replies of some obscure *** brewery in New Hampshire or some ****, and every beer listed will probably be something that 98% of the rest of us can't buy where they are anyway.

That being said, my favorite summer beer this year is Boulevard Brewing Co. Wheat Beer. Damned good on a hot day.

Also, for something most of us should be able to get, the Lazy Magnolia's Southern Pecan truly is an exceptional beer. I've yet to meet someone that didn't like this one. Well, at least anyone that actually enjoys beer drinking over beer funneling.

All beers apply. Including seasonals that aren't summer. ex: Oktoberfest/winter.

Just want some input.

That being said. Most of the Lazy Magnolia beers are great

Lately, I've been drinking a lot of Dogfish Head 90-Minute and Stone Arrogant Bastard and Oaked Arrogant Bastard. If you like craft beer in Mississippi, you really need to join Raise Your Pints, which is attempting to get the beer laws changed.

It's a brown ale called Moose Drool. Fantastic beer. They also have other good ones like Trout Slayer and Powder Hound. You basically have to be out west to get it. As far as beers that ate easierri get ahold of and are good for the summer, Ive been loving the Sweetwater 420

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Sierra Nevada Big Foot

Abita Red Ale
Abita Turbo Dog

Woodchuck Draft Cider - (Amber)

Samuel Adams Summer Ale
Samuel Adams Octoberfest

Lazy Magnolia Indian Summer

The only beer not typically available around Mississippi that I have tried and enjoyed is by Cooper's...an Austrailan brewer. I like their Stout.

With all this being said, I will pop the top on a cold miller light (can) the second I get home.

Copper Flask is phenomenal, brewed by Naked Lion Brewing Co.... you can find it at any grocery or beer store in Memphis and the surrounding area.. i've seen it on rare occasions in towns in Mississippi and Alabama.. Ghost River Brews are pretty damn good, too.. my favorite would be the golden ale and the glacial pale ale.. ... sam adams seasonals are always a good choice, too.. my favorites being white ale and summer ale.

Really big on Sweetwater 420 right now
also love black dog's summer ale even though its not in my general area but is in MS
One of my favorites is an Italian beer - Birra Moretti
Recently discovered Kona brewing company. Has some pretty good brews. Got em at the beach, havent seen them here yet.
I love an Amstel light with a jalepeno sliced in it (learned from Bobby Flay on Boy Meets Grill)
Can't go wrong with about any Sam Adams
and I love all Oktoberfests.

Lastly, I always like Harp in Pubs and can't go wrong with a good Black and Tan while there as well.

i get confused with sunset v. sunshine. either way, it's good. the bulldog only has one, and it may be the new belgium. i had the other in fredericksburg, tx. both were excellent in my opinion.

I think it was my favorite of the LM beers so far - Drank a few Indian Summers mostly in addition to the southern pecan and reb ale.

Abita Gold? I think is another one that I just tried and liked.

Love that Sam Adams Octoberfest too.

and that's good stuff. of course, drinking on the beach in jamaica may make every drink taste better.

That is to say, I had HALF of a DFH 120 this weekend. I'm as big of a hophead as I know, but that one was damn near undrinkable. I was at a buddy's Flying Saucer party and it was the last beer I had, which probably didn't help. But, at 21% alcohol, it's probably not something I'll ever go out of my way to try again. I've had their 60- and 90-minute varities, too... they were much easier on the palate to me.

DFH is a great brewery, though. I have their hombrew recipe book and have some blood orange hefeweizen on tap at my house right now... it's an amazing beer.

Southern Gold is only available on draft. Reb Ale, which just went to bottle, and Southern Pecan are the only two LM beers available in the bottle.

You can get Indian Summer in a bottle as well. Although, I'm not into it as much as their other beers

One of my friends got drunk and bought his own keg one night in college for a little over $200 but that was a good night

There is a blurb about it on their website. Apparently its fairly new. I tend to like stouts, so I was curious.

I like the bottled okay, the the SP on tap is special good.

I do know a few people that love it in the bottle. I haven't tried the other bottles yet.

What Mississippi needs is more micro breweries. Nothing like having those sampls laid out in front of you.

Here are some that I have had lately and liked. I'm in Houston so some may have never heard of these

Sierra Nevada Summer Ale
Firemans 444 ( OP4 have you had this one?)
Shiner Commerator and Black Lager( The commerator is actually the original Shiner recipe and 10x better than the Boch)
Shiner Helles (Seasonal)
Anything from Pyramid (they made a Crystal Wheat this year that may be the best beer I have ever had)
Honey Moon by Blue Moon is great
Sam Adams everything except the cream ale. It's like drinking desert
St. Arnolds here in Houston does a great job with all of there beers. Their Oktoberfest my be my favorite beer ever.

More to come when I think of them.

I will almost always pick something on tap over a beer that like better that is only available in a bottle.

But I saw the Sweetwater and went with what I knew was good. I'm currently home in Alabama and can't wait for the good beers to start showing up.
