re: Is Lazy Magnolia the best brewery in the MS/LA area?

While I think Timber Beast > Mechahopzilla, I find it hard to think of another regular release of Lazy Magnolia's that's better than NOLA. I do like the Southern Gentleman, but it's so rarely available that it's hard to group it in the discussion. I haven't tried Southern Belle or Backwoods Belgian yet, so no comment there. Jefferson Stout isn't a favorite of mine. I like Southern Pecan, but I put it on par with NOLA Brown.

I still think there is room for improvement at NOLA, but they are by default my selection for best brewery in the area right now.
