Wanted to get into beer, recommend anything

As the title says, I've started branching out on beer. Gone from just drinking Abita and Miller and started trying out stuff like Parish Envie and Ghost, St Arnold, etc. I want to try more new beers and get a taste of everything, so please recommend me anything you like that's available at places like Leblanc's, etc. Baton Rouge area.

I'd just stick with Ultra and he done with it.

I use to just go to a place like Calandros and did the create your own 6 pack. Cost 8.99 and I tried 6 new beers, helped me establish what I liked and didn't at the time.

Look at the fbd threads and see what people are drinking on there.

Go somewhere you can get flights of small pours and try different styles

Get a IPA, a Stout, a Porter, a Bock, a Wheat Beer, and an Ale.
Once you find out what style you like you can try multiples in the same style by buying the make your own 6 pack. In a few trips you will know what you like.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale should be on your list. Anything made by Bell's. If you're in Louisiana, Great Raft makes a fine beer; Commotion is my favorite.

All they drink are Whalez. Don't give the guy an inferiority complex until you get to know him.

Get a keg of keystone, begin drinking, and pretty soon you will forget all about this thread. You're welcome.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is a really good place to start. It's also my beer of choice for cooking.

I agree with this advice. Can also go to a good beer store with a lot of taps and talk to the bartender. Tell them what you're doing and they can hook you up if they have time and know what they're doing. Someone who knows beer can make suggestions based on how you like your coffee, favorite flavor of ice cream, etc. and they like to talk about it.

Grab some Clown Shoes, Mikkeler, Stone, and a good Parish brew. That'll be a good start.

Hell, if you want something easy, BJ's does this and their selection is pretty diverse. You can get an idea of what different style beers are like.

Find some beer fest events and go to them
The one that happens in march/April at LSU is pretty good but crowded
You'll be able to taste all kinds of shite tho

Like others have said, you really need to decide what style of beer you like before people can make worthwhile recommendations. Because there are dozens/hundreds of good beers within each style.
Once you have a style, people can make recommendations, but you could also download/check ratebeer, which has rankings of beers by style. Start at the top and go down until you find one in your local store or bar.

Actually enjoying the beer is secondary. Find a small craft brew that people seem to be talking about, locate a retailer and buy up as much as you can. Post pics but never tell anyone where to find it. After a week, complain about how the flavor profile sucks since the beer isn't fresh and they are now shelf turds.
When a new batch comes out, repeat the process, except be hyper critical about how this batch isn't as good as the last one and that its just not the same now that the brewery is trying to make more product to meet demand.

Solid attempt at a derail.

Well, that poster isn't exactly lying about some things.
