Jackson Jambalaya

Seriously, NO comments. Where in the hell are all the alchys that wanted the legislation? I want to hear from you! Oh, it is Friday night. I guess they are all out drinking their new Ale and such. Carry on, I will check back tomorrow.

I have enjoyed the Andygator and Jockomo from Abita and also Timberbeast. Very good beer and 10:33 I will have another for you.

OOOPs to much to drink 10:48/10:49

All of these were pretty great. Had a lil taste testing with a friend on the back porch this fine afternoon. Listed from favorite down.

Rogue Chocolate Stout
Abita 25th aniv. Vanilla DoubleDog
Rogue John John Ale (high gravity - whiskey barrel aged)
Abita Abbey Ale
Rogue John John Ale (low gravity)

All the metrosexuals are camped outside Hal & Mals, asleep in their SUVs. Maybe a few over in Fondren working on yard-art projects.

Abita SOS is great. I am also excited about the 5.6% stella artois that has never been legally sold here.

This will be interesting to see. I presumes it was a small but vocal (and dedicated) group that wanted this, so I'm curious as to how big of a change this will be.

It'd be a bigger deal for more people if the state would join most of the rest of the country and allow small direct shipments of wine. Mississippi and Utah are just about the only holdouts at this point. But since so many of our distinguished legislators think Boone's Farm is "really good stuff," I'm not holding my breath. (I am, however, continuing to pay exorbitant shipping rates to get small-production Cabernets.)

Red Brick Double IPA was a real treat, but I'm really hoping for some DFH 90 Minute.

Looking forward to having Bigfoot available.

I think the lack of comments is in direct proportion to the lack of distribution. All the restaurants I've been to since the law passed said they were still thinking about which ones to get. They didn't seem to have any sense of urgency about it. Also, I think they were really, really high.

We are in the first week. I imagine its going to take some time for the sales reps and PR machines to kick into high gear.

I hope Kingfish doesn't run another of his famous polls just to see which beers should be imported. If so, and the poll turns out as backwards as "Pick A Mayor" or some of the others he'll soon be hamstrung with honey poured over his head by the metro-beer-heads.

Speaking of picking mayors. The mambabway clan was out in full force at trademark and coliseum littering peoples windshield with chokeme bs

Where can one find these new craft beers? Are they at the local pubs, the grocery stores or what?

They are pipe dreams 9:34.

Shadowfax,

You know nothing about what you said about pipe dreams and craft beer. Explain or shut up

9:34, Hops and Habanas is doing a great job with products.

Kroger at Crossgates even has Double IPA from Red Brick and their Hop Lanta.

They are out there.

Am I supposed to prove a negative? 2:25 twiddles his pud and dreams of his boyfriend stocking the dorm fridge with a beer named Hop Lanta? I don't know Miz Ladd but imagine she will begin rewarding the interns with prune-bars and 7.2% for their daily breaks.

Shadow you prove a negative by stating why it is a negative and give an example. You dont have any proof that the "craft" beers in Mississippi are a "pipe" dream, whatever that means. What EXACTLY is a "pipe" dream when it comes to "craft"?

I don't know Miz Ladd but imagine she will begin rewarding the interns with prune-bars and 7.2% for their daily breaks.

An increase in prune-bar consumption in Fondren would be a positive.

Hops and Habanas in Madison is the Jackson Metro's beer specialty store. The get all products first and post it on their Facebook and Twitter as soon as new craft brews arrive. They told me Sierra Nevada Torpedo and Bigfoot should be in later this week!! We are not "alchys" rather people who are now enjoying the freedom to purchase products all other states can already do.

You could go to your local grocery store or beer store and ask to buy Lazy Magnolia's new high gravity beer called Timber Beast, but I'll save you the trip. They sold out in two days in the Jackson area. You'll have to wait until late July or August to buy some off the shelf again. In the meantime, your best bet to try most of the new beers is at bars and restaurants (the ones that actually care about the beer they serve).
