Southern Pecan is the flagship brew for Lazy Magnolia, and really helped put them on the map. The brewery says this World Beer Cup bronze medal winner is the first beer made with whole roasted pecans. Other brewers have used pecans, but this is the first beer to use them in the grain bill, meaning the pecans get partially fermented in the brewing process and contribute to the core flavors of the beer rather than being an afterthought to add...

Named after a legendary female Bohemian warrior, this Bohemian pilsner presents a bright golden hue in our glass, capped by a head of vibrant white foam. As we lean in, classic noble hop aromas jump out right away, offering touches of lemon zest, herbal spice, some floral flourishes, and a bit of earthiness and grassiness, laying atop a clean malt profile evoking fresh bread. On the palate, look for this pils to come across very well-hopped...

- Country: United States
This brand new beer from Lazy Magnolia pours a bright golden straw color with moderate haze and a radiant head of white foam. Wheat beers – whether American, Belgian, or even German – are often served with a citrus garnish. Lazy Magnolia has taken it a step further here, incorporating natural orange flavor into Endless Summer, similar to how the Belgians brew their Witbiers with orange peel. Look for big, luscious citrus notes to jump out right...

Jackalope’s year-round pale ale offering, Thunder Ann, presents a rich orange-amber hue on the pour, capped by plenty of persistent fluffy foam. This pale ale was crafted with a focus on citrus hop character, and the brewers succeeded. We picked up a good dose of tangerine and orange flesh, backed by some soft mango-like tropical notes, a bit of stone fruit, and a floral touch of citrus blossoms. Look for that citric hop character to be very...

True Green represents Lazy Magnolia’s second entry in their “Brew Note” special release series, reflecting the talents of head brewer Will Brown and his appreciation of music and art. This pours a super hazy golden orange color capped by a robust and lasting cap of foam that laces our glasses nicely. Look for a bold, engaging, and complex aroma offering prominent citrus, tropical, and stone fruit notes, backed by pine-like herbal notes and a...

- Country: United States
Pouring a bright copper hue with a fluffy cap of light tan foam, this Imperial/Double IPA delivers a pleasant array of citruses in the aroma, including grapefruit and tangerine, backed up by pine and herbal spice notes. There’s a noticeable undercurrent of caramelization here, too, and that caramelized malt character comes through quite robustly on the palate as well, creating a rich foundation for the massive dose of hops. Look for notes of...

Pouring a bright and somewhat hazed golden color topped by a fluffy head of off-white foam, Fennario issues forth an engaging aroma as it rests in the glass. Expect quite a luscious quality here, with bold fruitiness evoking both juicy and zesty citrus elements tending toward orange, grapefruit, and tangerine, along with softer floral tones and a bit of a piney-herbal character. Moderate caramelization and a bit of toast lurk beneath, and...
- Bottle Size: 330-ml

- Bottle Size: 330-ml
- Style: Schwarzbier
- ABV: 4.8%
- Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
- Suggested Glassware: Flute, Pilsner Glass
- Country: Germany
If you think dark beers are all big and heavy, Köstritzer will challenge those notions. Not only is its level of alcohol relatively low at 4.8%, it is not a thick, chewy beer; in fact, a beer’s color actually has nothing to do with its body. Nor does this brew present a particularly bitter, overly-charred character. On the pour it certainly is dark, with some garnet flashes when held to the light, and a rich, creamy looking light brown head. But...
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
- Style: Imperial Porter aged in Bourbon Barrels w/ Madagascan Vanilla Beans and Ghanaian Cacao Nibs
- ABV: 9.05%
- Serving Temperature: 48–55° F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Small Nonic, Snifter, or Goblet
- Country: United States
The South Street Soft-Serv barrel-aged imperial porter pours a deep opaque black, has a thick tan head, and drops lots of sticky lacing. Generous aromatics of the bourbon barrels are lifted in the air as we swirled our glasses and brought them to our noses. Right away we were treated to classic twist-cone soft serve we would get as kids at any number of drive-thru burger joints across the country (my personal favorite in Southern California...
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
- Style: Imperial Stout with Coffee
- ABV: 12%
- Serving Temperature: 50–55° F
- Suggested Glassware: Globe Snifter, Tulip, or Small Nonic
- Country: United States
The AleSmith Speedway Stout, their flagship imperial stout made with locally roasted coffee, is at long last featured in the Rare Beer Club. AleSmith Speedway Stout pours opaque black, with a black rim around the edges. Dark tan foam with tiny bubbles caps this black elixir, showing very good retention and lacing. The first aromas that waft from the glass are of deeply roasted malts and dark roast coffee. Rich, earthy, and inviting, the aromas...
