Today we went to the 4th Annual Jolly Skull Beer Fest, and we had a great time. We tried lots of different beers, and I may have found two new favorites.

I found this So-Cal Orange witbier from the Coronado Brewing Company, which I kept going back for. It had a subtle touch of citrus and spice.

And then I was excited to see Abita Brewery representing Louisiana. They had a new beer called the Andygator. It was really, really good, and our friend, Andy, got himself a new nickname. Here’s the description:

Abita Andygator®, a creature of the swamp, is a unique, high-gravity brew made with pale malt, German lager yeast, and German Perle hops. Unlike other high-gravity brews, Andygator® is fermented to a dry finish with a slightly sweet flavor and subtle fruit aroma. Reaching an alcohol strength of 8% by volume, it is a Helles Doppelbock.

A great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Now, I’ll have to see if I get my hands on these two.
