Abita Andygator is Illegal in Mississippi
October 29th, 2009 by braddock
This awesome brew from Abita brewing in our neighboring state of Louisiana is illegal in Mississippi due to it’s 8% alcohol by volume. An Andygator, a shrimp po-boy from the Veranda, and the Saints winning on TV makes for a damn fine Sunday afternoon.
I had to buy this in Tennessee and smuggle it back across the state line. The antiquated restrictions on beer in Mississippi are truly ridiculous. You can find out more on the beers you’re missing and what you can do to change that at RaiseYourPints.

I hear ya man. Normally when I go to Memphis I have been coming back with me, because of the poor selections here in MS. I recently went to Kansas City and brought back some home brew that I made with a buddy in July. Fat Tire clone (which I buy Fat Tire in Memphis). Saw your site in the Reflector today. Where do you purchase your home brew equipment/ingredients? Am going to start brewing my own beer soon.

I’m a big Fat Tire fan too…really anything from New Belgium Brewery. They’ve got a great new beer for Octoberfest called “Hoptober”. It’s hoppy and awesome. I got my initial kit from williamsbrewing.com but buy most of my hardware and ingredients from austinhombrew.com now. They’ve got a huge selection and deliver fast to Starkville. Let me know what you brew up.
