I had some purple haze a few weekends ago and it reminded me how much I like it. It got interested to try a few of the other berry flavored beers ive seen in stores.

Sam Adams Blackberry Witbier- really good. Heavy berry flavor that subsides after the bottle.

Leinenhugel's Berry Weiss - STRONG BERRY FLAVOR- too strong in my opinion.

Fat Tire is my favorite beer- So I picked up a New Belgium mixed 12 pack-

Fat Tire - never gets old, no hangover, can drink alot of it without getting full, makes me a better man. It's availability is the lone bright spot of living in the lone star state.

Snow Day - a great winter ale. Heavy flavor, heavy spice. Could drink more than one or two of them. As of now it will be my beer of choice for the Christmas Holiday.

Ranger - India Pale Ale - OK. Probably much better when paired with the right food. Not something I'll buy again, unless the only other choice is....say.....Miller Lite.

Trippel - Ale Brewed with Coriander- whew - what to say? at distinct flavor, weird even. Got better with each sip, but delicious when I started eating my pizza for supper. Like, A LOT better. So I am assuming this needs to be paired with the right food, too.

Just got a sixer of Sierra Nevada Celebration. I really started trying a bunch of different beers during christmas about 10 years ago after reading an article about the different holiday brews available. And this is one of the best.

I don't like fruity crap in my beer and I don't like Fat Tire. Other than that....

Where did you find it?

I bought a sixer from Matherne's over a month ago but haven't seen it anywhere since.

You dont Like Purple Haze?

You dont like Fat Tire?

Well then. I guess our palates will just have to agree to disagree.

FWIW purple haze > the other berry beers mentioned here. By a MF'n long shot.

I almost picked up some of the leinenhugel berry weiss but got some troegs mad elf ale instead. I definitely taste the honey and cherries, but at 11% alcohol, I mostly feel buzzed. I think I'll skip the berry weiss based on your post.

The only Abita bbeer I like is Turbo Dog on draft.

The other Abita's are mediocre.


Right now I'm drinking Brooklyn OctoberFest.

Snow Day. Tell me more about it. Never heard of it. I also like to try different types of beer. Been on Sam Adams for a while

Snow Day is darker than Fat Tire and sam adams with more spice and a stronger flavor. Not as dark as a turbo dog, though. It is a true 'winter' brew. I only had 3 so far, but they sell em by the sixer here.

Sorry- I need to update my profile. I live in The Woodlands, Tx now. New Belgium brewing (fat tire, snow day Trippel and the IPA) are not available in Louisiana.

The Sierra Nevada, Sam Adams, and Lefenasdfhadslkfh berry I think are available around the BTR. From my time there I remember Calandro's on Siegen being the best place to find top shelf beers.
