Fall Fest was my go-to for a long time many years back.

Not a big fan of IPA in general.


I try just about any IPA I can find. New Belgium Accumulation is another one I like. I like a lot of them but for some reason I keep coming back to Jockamo.

It's an overrated beer, imo.

I love beer and I love Louisiana...but abita just isn't a great brewery. NOLA is better. Great raft is WAY better. Red River is at least on par.

That being said, turbodog and purple haze are two of my favorites.

If you can find it, try great raft's commotion. Better than jockamo IMO.


ETA: if anyone here finds themselves in Wilmington, NC...try front street brewery. I don't think I've ever had a bad beer there. Their Scottish ale is my all time favorite.

The new Wrought Iron IPA is legit and priced right. Drinking one now. Their Bourbon Street stout is good also, though priced too high. Y'all need to get in to 2014.

My favorite is Restoration. Purple Haze is good on occasion (their light beer is even pretty good).

Turbodog is pretty good. It's one of my best friends go to, but I would rather have a restoration.

Wrought Iron IPA is one of the better beers they have put out.
Seersucker is solid
Turbodog is always solid
Restoration is one of my favorite "all day drinking" beers
Christmas Ale is solid
Abita gets alot of shite, and yes they arent the best, but they do make a few good beers. With that being said, they cant even touch Parish in basically every single category.

Andygator ftw. My last year at Auburn Skybar had specials for Andygator, caused me to forget most of my actions from that night.

I agree with most all of this. I'm also a fan of fall fest. That said, Jockamo is horrendous and I can't believe anyone willingly drinks it.
