Had the Left Hand Sawtooth Ale in Destin and enjoyed it...had kind of an amber taste to it...

Also had a pint of Sweetwater 420, but that's tradition...

Ive heard a lot of good things about Sweetwater and also Terrapin. I just think its a freakin shame that we dont have many good beers sold here in Mississippi.

would highly recommend this stuff if youve never tried it, definitely one of my favorites - theres a reason they only sell it in a 4 pack

I've recently been enjoying a lot of the beers by Victory Brewing. Victory Golden Monkey is very good.

Im in the Hattiesburg, MS area, and Ive never seen Sweetwater at any of the grocery stores that carry a variety of random beers, not have I seen it at places that lots of beers on draft such as Mug Shots and The Keg and Barrell.

Tds and Beer we need to have a good conversatio nabout beers next time I see you.

If he's in BR he's not likely to find this one.

Matter of taste.

And I thought he may be in BR and had to go to something more accessible.

You might be able to help me. I bought a Saison up in Boston years ago that had a yellow label and I cannot remember the name - The writing on the label was small and artsy - any ideas? TIA.

im a big fan of the northern cali beers having lived there. Mendocino brewery makes good beer, i really like the red tail ale. eel river is another one you can get in LA, they have a line of organic beers that are good. im a huge fan of the sierra nevada anniversary ale that just came out. their wet hops reserve harvest beer is good as well. i miss some beers from the pacific northwest like black butte porter by deschutes brewery. also i miss the east coast breweries i used to get beers from like magic hat and long trail out of vermont. i was really happy when brooklyn lager made its way down here.

Their Milk Stout is really good. Nice winter beer now that I actually live in a cold weather area

I ain't that good. Was it a Belgian or amurican?

Saw this at the store today. I'm going back to get it soon.

Hopefully their Oatmeal Stout will return. Best Abita offering.


God I hope so. That was by far my favorite beer of all time.

It was in late winter, if I remember correctly, last time. But there is no calendar for their select brews, just a list of their past options.

Full Sail Amber and IPA (there pale ale is not that great)

Lagunitas IPA and Censored

Left Hand Sawtooth Ale (very balanced between hops n malts)

Unibroue Maudite and La Fin du Monde

Stone Pale Ale (best pale ale IMO) their IPA is ok

Westmalle Dubbel

Ommengang Abbey Ale

Brooklyn Brown ale and Local no. 1

solid list. I would add any stone beer to that list. Never had a bad one. Vertical epic was just ok.
