Beer Glossary Get Schooled!
Yeast - Brewer's yeast has been cultivated and domesticated over many thousands of years. Yeast is responsible for about 30% of the flavor profile of a beer.

Southern Pecan Nut Brown Ale is the first beer in the world, to our knowledge, made with whole roasted pecans. The pecans are used just like grain and provide a nutty characteristic and a delightful depth to the flavor profile. This beer is very lightly hopped to allow the malty, caramel, and nutty flavors shine through. The color is dark mahogany. Southern Pecan won a Bronze Medal in the 2006 World Beer Cup in the Specialty Beer category.

Southern Gold is Lazy Magnolia's Golden Honey Ale. Brewed with locally produced honey, this light-bodied brew was designed specifically for the City of Hattiesburg, MS., the home of the University of Southern Mississippi. This refreshing beer is noted by its smooth character and gentle, sweet honey finish. In keeping with Lazy Magnolia's effort to craft beer suited for the Southern Palate, Southern Gold utilizes locally grown honey from nearby Ellisville, MS.

Reb Ale is Lazy Magnolia's American Style Pale Ale, a crisp and clean beer with the perfect balance of hops and malt. Its body and clean finish are ideally suited for all seasons, and the brew is dry-hopped for a great aroma and impressive finish. Reb Ale is often referred to as our "Deep South Pale Ale." This special recipe was a way to thank the initial and continued support of Lazy Magnolia Brewing Company by the good folks in Oxford, MS.

Jefferson Stout, Lazy Magnolia's original Sweet Potato Cream Stout, is Lazy Magnolia's version of the ideal Southern-Style Stout. Jefferson Stout is brewed with sweet potatoes and lactose (milk sugar). The sweet potatoes provide the background to an impressive taste with added notes of roasted chocolate, coffee and caramel flavors. Chef Steve D'Angelo, former Owner/Chef at Bay City Grill in Bay St. Louis, an early supporter and good friend of Lazy Magnolia is credited with this creative recipe.

Indian Summer is a light profile American-style wheat ale spiced with Orange Peel and Coriander. Our recipe uses a mix of wheat and pale barley. This beer is very lightly hopped to allow the spices to shine through. Clean fermenting yeast produce a very dry, crisp base to further accentuate the spices. The aroma has a distinct citrus note without being overly fruity. Indian Summer was first introduced as a seasonal offering. Due to its popularity we decided to make this recipe year-round.

Our first in Lazy Magnolia's Brewer's Choice Series. Porter in general gets its name from the people who enjoyed it the most. Known as a working man's beer, it is hearty with a smooth and enjoyable flavor. The beer is a deep and dark with mahogany tendencies. The beer is not as bitter as one might assume of a beer this dark. Mouth-feel and body are rich and fitting of the cold weather. A delectable yeast add spicy notes that complement the coffee and chocolate flavors that linger on the palate. You will find this one on tap in a few key select places, but predominantly in growlers here for the winter season.
