Iron city light? really? I guess being from Pittsburgh we don't appreciate it that much.
Gotta be a nice room temperature Guinness mmm mmm mmm

For taste...Trader Joe's Vintage Ale. For just drinking a few on a hot summer day...It's gotta be Iron City Light.

Beer temperature 29; air temperature; 84. It's all good!

Oh, I've seen and bought it, as I always pick up one of those Abita sample packs whenever my son is coming to visit me. But its shelf life is very short when he is around, and the strawberry has always disappeared before I got a taste of it. Next time, I'll make sure to try the strawberry before he arrives, and leave him the Turbo Dog.

You're right, Coach Ferriss was a great guy, huge celebrity and enormous commander of respect.

Are you telling me you've never seen the AbitaStrawberry? Absolutely delicious with those Ponchatoulas strawberries....mmmm. It's way better than the Satsuma beer. Perfect for crawfish or shrimp boils on those warm afternoons.

ST, Boo Ferriss always has been a total class act. I keep meaning to pick up his book, but just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Abita often puts out sampler packs of its brews. I've tried pretty much all of them, but will be on the lookout for the strawberry one you mentioned next spring.

Fun, I also went to Delta State where Boo Ferris coached for many years...

Abita makes an OUTSTANDING spring beer called Strawberry Lager, if you can get ahold of some next year, GET IT. It doesn't last long and tastes the best absolutely cold. You will only find it between March and May, maybe into June but if you find it this time of year, it won't be good.

Haven't tried any of the Yazoo beers, but will look out for them. The local brewery around NOLA is Abita, which offers a pretty broad assortment.

You being a Sox fan, I'm sure you are aware of all the Mississippi connections with that team. Boo Ferris, George "Boomer" Scott, Oil Can Boyd, Bill "Spaceman" Lee, to name a few of the more colorful ones.

Awesome, love the SOX!!!

That Southern Pecan is a fast grower around here. It's good, but I've not found much in their other offerings, though. Have you tried Yazoo beers? Their Dos Perros is good but a bit heavy.

Similar Tastes, try a Southern Pecan Ale sometime. It is brewed in Wiggins, I think. I have found it in Memphis, and feel sure you can find it in the Jackson area.

Btw, I also am a Sox fan; been to dozens of games at Fenway Cathedral (and one very delightful WS Game 4 in St. Louis back in '04 -- Yes, I was there when it finally happened).
