re: What are some good Southern craft beers

for crushability on a hot summer day, Abita Strawberry and Canebreak are excellent. For dark beers, I'm a fan of the Korova Milk Stout and the Chocolate Peanut Butter Porters from Gnarley Barley. I cannot stand IPA's, but even I enjoy drinking Parish Ghost in the Machine. Parish Grand Reserve is excellent as well.

I consider Parish to be easily the best brewery in Louisiana.
