In honor of baseball water season…..

[DAWGS1.sixpack]

And I don’t think we’ve had one of these discussions in a couple of years but what’s your favorite IPA or Pale Ale beers to drink while watching some MSU Baseball or grilling out or both??
My go to seems to be Laganuitus IPA,
Bells Two Hearted Ale, Abita Big Easy IPA, Ballast Point Sculpin IPA, Fairhope Brewing 5150 Pale Ale, Cigar City IPA, Dogfish 60 minute IPA and Good People IPA although this one is a bit heavy on the ABV and bitterness.

 

[msugrad2003]

I’ve been going with Space Dust lately.

 

[InTheIttaBenaHotSun]

Bells, Sculpin (hadn't seen it around in a while), Dogfish 90, Tunnel Vision, Hoof Hearted Brewing's $120 Nachos and Who'd Like To Hold My Clipboard? are outstanding IPAs but it's hit or miss finding them down South - even in Atlanta.

 

[Hugh's Burner Phone]

Bud Light. Downvote away.

 

[PearlRiverCoDawg]

I’ve been on Dr Juice lately.

 

[RotorHead]

I have not seen sculpin outside of the San Diego Metro area...Ballast Point is a dang fine brew though

 

[RotorHead]

I've been on a Timber Beast from Lazy Mag kick lately. Very smooth for a IIPA

 

[KentuckyDawg13]

Some of my fave IPAs: Preternatural Ambiance (Burial Beer Co), Disciplines of Agony (Burial), Orange Cream Pop (Decadent Ales), Trickster (Green Man Brewery), Perceptions of Carnage (Burial), All Abou the Wordplay (Abomination Brewing Company), Trail Mojo (Booneshine Brewing Co), Riding into the Heart of Hell (Burial), Gang of Blades (Burial), Lords of the Roost (Burial).
Obviously, my favorite brewery is Burial in Asheville, NC. This time of the year is all about stouts though...

Had some business travel in Iowa this week, and they had Big Grove’s Easy Eddy at a lot of places. It has a hazy look and flavor not unlike some wheat beers, so it may not be for everyone, but I thought it was excellent

I’ve been trying to get my hands on a 6-pack of Austin’s Broken Skull for years, but there’s no distribution to Arkansas right now

 

[KentuckyDawg13]

It's a bit harsh, have had it here in Kentucky.

 

[fieldcorporal]

I love me some IPA's - my beer frig has Dogfish 60, Bells two-hearted, Fathead's Headhunter double, and Stone in it now. But for beisbol water they're a bit much so I drink Landshark just so I can piss it away.

 

[ZombieKissinger]

I only drink Heady Topper

And No Li Big Juicy but I mostly drink Miller Lite

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Bud Light. Downvote away.

To quote the great B.B. King, "If it ain't Natural, it ain't right."

 

[Misfit]

Come on, guys. Shop local. Start the day with SoPro's Devil's Harvest, a breakfast IPA (only 4.9% abv). Ease through the afternoon with Lil Smack by Chandeleur Island Brewery (6.5%). Shift into high gear for the evening with SoPro's Crowd Control (8%) and Lazy Magnolia's rye-based Timberbeast (9%). All good beers, brewed right here in the 'Sip.

Bud Light. Downvote away.

Miller Lite here. It’s funny how my Bud, Coors, Natty, Busch and Miller friends used to talk smack to each other and now we are unified against the beer snobs.

 

[Hot Rock]

I am Blue Moon fan. Love the stuff, orange slice and all.

 

[RotorHead]

Freemason Ale by Chandeleur would fit right there with Lil Smack around lunchtime

 

[aTotal360]

It's Miller Time, you nerds.

Two Hearted. . .

Love Southern Prohibition Devil's Harvest in the light category as well as Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (classic and now very underrated).
A couple of Good People Snake Handlers when you want to fall asleep in the 5th inning.

Edited to add Ghost in the Machine and Envie (especially the DDH version) from Parish.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

You guys should have an alumni weekend and everyone drink the Beast to remind us all of our college days

This all the way.

 

[LandArchDawg]

I really like Wisacre's Ananda and Cigar City's Jai Alai. A local Jacksonville brewery Intuition has a good one, too, I-10 IPA.

Not a single one of these tastes great AND less filling!

Same here.

I drink two beers: 1) Miller Lite; and 2) free beer.

Just got back from the grocery with a case of Miller Lite cans, so I'm fully prepared for Super Bowl Sunday.

 

[tacodawg]

Busch Light. IPA drinkers are liars. Nobody actually likes that ****.

 

[PooPopsBaldHead]

I can tell you what I will be drinking on Friday nights when Landon is on the bump...

I'm a life long beer drinker and I'm not really a fan of the Light beers either but I just can't drink an IPA. They just taste awful to me. I'm currently alternating Suzy B' s from Southern Prohibition and Freemasons from Chadeluer as I cook chicken on the grill tonight. Dos Equis is my regular go to beer and yellow can Coors is my back up. About twice a year I get a hankering for a 32oz Miller High Life.

Wouldn't be the Beast, it would be Shafer Light or Old Style for me. If I'd gotten my allowance that week it might include a six pack of Strohs.

 

[InTheIttaBenaHotSun]

Ballast opened a brewery in VA back in '17 but shut it down in '19. I'm guessing they're still doing business out west.

May want to try a Sam Adams Boston Lager as a pretty dang good bridge between a Lite beer and a Pale Ale or IPA.
S Adams use to have a Noble Pils as well back in like 2010-2013 but haven’t seen it in years but it may have been their best ever beer.
Also Sweetwater Brewery has a good IPA but now I think it’s a little too citrusy/lemon flavor for my taste

I like Boston Lagers, it’s a little heavy to drink all day though. I’m really a fan of their Cold Snap seasonal.

I live far away : (

Lil Smack and Timber Beast are excellent beers. The SoPro IPAs are average at best though.

Like that the Snake Handler is 9-10% but don't care for the grapefruit. Sierra's Torpedo Extra IPA is very good. As is Ghost in the Machine. Have not had Envie.

Y'all being fans of Blue Moon with an orange slice might like Harpoon's UFO Georgia Peach. It's a seasonal that runs June -Sept. Had been only an IPA guy for 20 yrs until I tried this one two years ago....Just an awesome summer beer. Bought 8 cases end of summer '20. It kept well and got me through till last July.
