Lazy Magnolia is finally coming out with a beer for Bulldogs. About 10 years ago I wrote them an email commenting how disappointed I was to find out that State grads had a brewery that had a beer specific to Ole Miss and one specific to Southern but not one for State. I received a pretty quick reply explaining their reasoning and they seemed like good people so I have enjoyed their beers over the years. However, I never tried their Reb Ale and when they changed the name to Deep South Pale Ale I still didn't drink it because I knew it's origins.
All that being said I am excited to try Ale State. It should be available about October 10 and it's supposed to be sessionable so it will be great for tailgating.
