friday faves: brews

Abita Purple Haze :: Karbach Weisse Versa Wheat 
Tin Roof Blonde Ale :: Palmetto Brewery Amber Ale 

These are some of my favorite beers, ranging from an all-time fave to a new discovery!

The recipe for Abita’s Purple Haze may sound weird – a lager brewed with raspberries after filtration – but trust me, this is an AWESOME beer.  Its not fruity, just a little tartly sweet.

Karbach Brewing Company, located in Houston, makes a great blonde ale, but it is this Hefeweizen-style beer – Weisse Versa – that I like the best.  It a delicious, crisp wheat beer.

Tin Roof Brewing Company is a relatively new brewer in Baton Rouge and Blonde Pale Ale is a really great, easy-drinking beer.  Bonus points if you use it to make a “Honey Badger.”

We discovered Palmetto Brewery on a recent trip to Charleston, SC – the waiter told Whitney the Amber would go perfectly with his fried chicken and he was sold!

I’d love to know: what is your favorite beer?!
