Is it like when they made the stronger version of purple haze? This is a stronger version of Strawberry?

Nevermind:
quote:

Strawator is a take on our most popular Harvest Series beer, Strawberry Harvest Lager. It is a strong golden lager made with malted barley and wheat. Despite being strong, it is still light in color. It is hopped with German Perle hops to give the beer a delicate hop flavor. After filtration, generous amounts of fresh Louisiana strawberry juice is added, giving the beer a pleasant sweet taste and aroma, as well as a nice golden color and slight cloudiness.

So it's basically a Strawberry Andygator?

Sounds good.

Any news on New Orleans Area releases?

those are the times it will go on tap and there will be a promo for that hour launching the beer. It will remain on tap after.

Why didn't they just name it "Strawgator." I kept thinking it was "Straw Uh tor"

To be fair, their Select series has all been surprisingly good. I pounded down several Mayhawks last Saturday.... But I'm not excited for strawator

I cant figure out why they havent capitalized on their Select brews more. Most of them are actually very good beers and I'd happily pay $9-$10 for a 6 pack.

Aren't their selects usually higher ABV which require them to sell in the bigger bottles?
