Wasn't it Ben Franklin that said

Beer is proof that God loves us

Apologies if I butchered the quote

I actually prefer Abita Amber & Turbo Dog to the Restoration Ale - (so named -part of the pruchase price goes to restoration of New Orleans.) Also, there is a website where beers are reviewed by the brewery cat - - Abita beer is listed first (only because they list alphabetically) - but has a go...

a bottle of Black Alligator. Perhaps you have had some as well, in your N'awlins days?

Need to try Turbo Dog or Restoration Ale from Abita Springs, LA
