Lazy Magnolia Brewing Company Southern Charm in a Pint

Lazy Magnolia Brewing Company is a Mississippi-based brewery that's been perfecting the art of Southern craft beer since 2004. Founded by Leslie Henderson and Alan Shapiro, the company has grown to become one of the largest craft breweries in the South.

Their flagship beer, Southern Pecan, is a nutty brown ale that's a must-try for any beer enthusiast. Brewed with pecans, this beer is a unique twist on traditional brown ales.

The brewery's commitment to Southern charm is evident in every aspect of their operation, from their historic building to their friendly staff.

Lazy Magnolia's beers are a great example of how a brewery can create unique flavor profiles without overdoing it on the hops. The Southern Pecan ale, for instance, has a surprisingly low 4.5% ABV and only 19 IBU's.

The brewery's use of pecans in the Southern Pecan ale might reduce the need for hops to add a malty flavor, resulting in a very smooth and malty taste. This is reminiscent of Belgian Ales, which are known for their rich, complex flavors.

The brewery's beers also show a nice balance of flavors, as seen in the Southern Hops'pitality IPA, which is a nice, refreshing and not overly bitter beer.

Lazy Magnolia, a brewery that's been at the forefront of the Southern brewing scene since 2005, has had its fair share of struggles.

They were the first craft brewery in Mississippi, a state that didn't legalize alcohol production until 1966, and had to overcome severe adversity, including a hurricane that took out the co-owners' house.

The brewery has since expanded production and added a cavernous tasting room on site.

One of their standout beers is the Jefferson Stout, which incorporates sweet potato into its creamy milk stout.

The unique nuttiness of the sweet potatoes works well with caramel and chocolate malts, while lactose sugar boosts the sweetness to mellow out the coffee, milk chocolate, and toffee notes.

Timber Beast, a bold, spicy rye double IPA, is another popular beer from Lazy Magnolia.

It's a copper-hued glass of goodness with a perfect balance of hops that give out pine, flowers, citrus, and tropical fruit flavors.

The peppery bite of rye is faint underneath juicy flavors of pine resin, lemon rind, and caramel malt.

Lazy Magnolia's beers are definitely worth trying if you're looking for something new and exciting.

I've tried Lazy Magnolia Brewery's Southern Pecan beer and was surprised by its lightweight division status with a 4.5% ABV and 19 IBU's.

The beer pours like a European Brown Ale, with a rich, deep color almost mahogany in hue and a slight haze.

The use of pecans may reduce the need for hops, which could explain the relatively low IBU's.

You get a very nice malty flavor, very smooth, reminiscent of Belgian Ales.

The beer's feel and taste are indeed smooth, with a malty flavor that's hard to find in beers with higher IBU's.

I found the beer's color to be quite impressive, almost imperceptible haze and all.

The malty flavor is definitely a highlight of this beer, making it a great choice for those who prefer a smoother taste.

I've had the chance to chat with the folks at Lazy Magnolia Brewing Company, and let me tell you, they're passionate about their craft.

Their founder, Les Snead, was inspired by the rich brewing history of Germany and wanted to bring that same tradition to the South.

Lazy Magnolia Brewing Company is located in Kiln, Mississippi, a small town on the Gulf Coast.

Their flagship beer, Pecan Praline Imperial Porter, is a unique blend of flavors that's perfect for sipping on a warm day.

Their beers are brewed with the finest ingredients and a focus on quality control, ensuring every pint is delicious and consistent.

In fact, their Pecan Praline Imperial Porter has won several awards, including a gold medal at the 2011 World Beer Cup.
