re: Help me become a beer snob, pictures of beer options included

nothing extraordinary stands out from your pics…unfortunately, Louisiana does not have good craft beer distribution.

Stone is a great brewery so go with their IPAs

I don't like Guinness either but Stouts can be mighty might tasty…the Southern Tier Chokolate is a really nice stout with lots complex flavors.

if you're new to IPAs, start with a session IPA look Stone Go-To or Founders All Day which can be found at your local grocery store…then graduate to a heavier IPA then eventually try a DIPA like Ghost in the Machine which is pretty much the hit IPA in Louisiana right now.
