re: Craft Beer Krewe: what is the most under the radar beer?

I prefer Ommegand Abbey to Chimay Red........

I still have yet to taste St. Bernardus

Turbodog is actually a good brown and probably the best of abita 12oz lineup

People who like brown ales don't know what they want in beer, or in life. Do they want a pale ale, do they want a sweeter but not as bitter stout? Brown ales are the middle of the road nothings of the beer world.

I love a good brown ale for breakfast at the camp, but I'm an jackass.

That's what imperial stouts are for. Kick start the buzz and the blood sugar.

abita amber is a fine everyday beer
abita restoration is a fine pale
abita seersucker is a fine pils
all of the abita harvest beers are fine examples of their category

everything that abita brews is fine, well above the macro brews in quality & taste, are readily available without cloak & dagger machinations and are priced right

i'd be OK with it if all i could drink from now on was abita. there are better beers everywhere, but abita is fine and i think underappreciated but certainly not under the radar

Imperial stouts are for when I get back from that early morning fish. I like a light flavorful brown to wash down my cinnamon toast crunch.

If I skip the toast crunch I prefer just a citrusy boat drink.

Ain't that the truth.

Abita makes a fine line of gateway beers.
