I usually pick one mass market lager each summer to supplement my usual IPAs. Two years ago it was Modelo. Last year it was Coors. This year, in honor of our 250th, it’s Sam Adams. I used to buy that a lot before craft stuff became legal in MS.
OT - For those that still enjoy a cold beer, what’s good these days?

I just don’t like hazy stuff. I went on a trip to upstate NY a few years ago. Everything up there IPA and most other styles, was like various shades of muddy water. Not for me. Best beer I have ever had was Blind Pig IPA on tap from Russian River out in California. I’d love to sample one of the Plinys, but have never been so lucky.
You’re generally right, but I used to love Rolling Rock’s with that painted label.
Used to make backpacking stoves from Heineken cans, but the trouble was finding empty cans.
Well, brew better beer and I will keep it in state. I do like Lil’ Smack from Chandeleur in Gulfport.….just had one as a matter of fact. I used to love Timber Beast from from Lazy Magnolia. They changed it. I still buy it occasionally, but it’s slipped. I also used to like a lot of what Southern Prohibition in Hattiesburg did. They have kind of got crazy though, at least for my taste. I do miss Copperhead from Yalabousha. Whatever happened to them?
I used to love Lazy Magnolia Southern Pecan. Then it started slipping & I got a couple six packs that were just skunky. Then I stopped seeing them in Kroger. I assumed they went out of business. Not sure what happened but they clearly weren’t what they once were.
Don't forget the Yuengling green bottle tastes like a skunk.
Same. Yellow bellies, I've heard plenty. Yellow jackets is a new one for me to hear banquet called.
My rotation has changed very little in 20 years - Amstel Light, Miller Lite, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
Hofbrau Dunkel is my favorite, have to pick it up when youre out of state though.
Easy to do when there’s only chandeleur that’s legit. SP is ok, LM sucks & lucky town isn’t so lucky anymore.
Second on the Bell's Two-hearted. Yuengling heavy after that.
Dragons milk and founders breakfast stout is what I’ve been keeping stocked in my fridge lately
The VooDoo is a little too hoppy for me, but the abv packs quite the punch. This time of year, I like Dogfish Head’s 60 minute IPA or the old Sweetwater 420 standby.
Cold weather is more about stouts and porters.
IPAs are trash.
If I wanted alcoholic bitter syrup, i'd heat it up and pour it over pancakes

Went out to golden /red rocks last year and really enjoyed the banquet bottles. didn't occur to me that the brewery was right there until i looked out of my hotel window.
I’ve been a beer drinker most of my life but I just can’t like an IPA. My daily is either a Dos Equis lager, a Victoria, or a Shiner Bock. Semi local stuff I like a Chandeleur Freemason or a Suzy B from somewhere in Alabama but can remember where. About once a week I go to an Irish Pub for a couple of Smithwicks.
I'm in Jax, and it was a sad day when they announced they were closing! My go to from them was Easy on the Eyes, and then I-10, but really all of their beers were solid.
Jai Alai is good but a little heavy on the ABV for too many of them. They have a nice Brewery in Tampa that I went to a couple of years ago.
Surprised they closed or are about to. Their I10 was good and they had a good little brewery close to the Jumbo Shrimp stadium.
Sam Adams used to have a great beer called Noble Pils.
Not sure why they discontinued that one but it was really good I thought.
Im off IPAs for a while, sticking mainly with pilsners. Stella is my staple at bars, with Creature Comforts' BIBO in my fridge. I also like Prince of Pilsen at home, and recently had MAMA's Little Yellow Pils, which was excellent.
On a related note, I tried this yesterday on a whim:
Not bad, but not great, either. It doesnt taste much like Guiness to me, and the chocolate chunks are totally unnecessary.
