New Mexico

Santa Fe Brewing Company - Santa Fe, NM
Best Beer:

Chicken Killer Barley Wine

Beertopia in Omaha is great. I really love that place. That's where I got the Chicken Killer earlier this year. It was the first Barely Wine I ever had, and it set the bar pretty high.

It's got a good mix of barley and hops, along with a fruit flavor that mixes well. Plus, the 10% ABV ain't nothing to shy away from.

I want to try more from Sante Fe, it seems like a New Belgium to me, a dependable brewery.

Abita Brewing Company - Abita Springs, LA
Best Beer:

Abita Beer Amber

When Bag of Donuts was back a few years ago, we went to the Hyvee in Council Bluffs and they had Abita Amber on sale. It was cheap, so we bought it. I didn't think it'd be that good, but it turned out to be pretty great.

For an amber, it was very crisp. I drank it fast, in between some other good beers and we got extremely drunk that night.

I wish I knew more about Abita, I have thought of getting Turbodog a few times, but never do. Oh well, small post for Louisiana. Oh well.
