avalanche is pretty good, but it will catch you on the sneak, it is like 12%.

shiner blonde, and shiner heffenweizen(sp) are good also...
micros around here you gotta include the abita's especially abita wheat when it is in season, the restoration(sp) ale is good also and procedes go to a good cause..
Country market in Clinton has a build your own six pack section, they carry the black dog, dead guy, flying dog, anchor steams, and many others

lived a few years in New Orleans and after all the abita pub crawls they grow on you.
but all time favorite - Shiner Bock

even thoughit's not a micro, I'm a big fan of Leinenkugel's original ....and Blue Moon too.... Also as for micro brew's the Lazy Magnolia Brewing Co's Southern Pecan is one to check out....

Oh, and I'm a bit surprised you didn't mention Fat Tire Ale from Fort Collins brewing Co.

All the magnolia beers are good, Ive been drinking sam adams lots recently...good stuff- Best beer i've had in the last few months was sam adams octoberfest, its a seasonal so it only lasts a couple weeks

Flying dog makes some good brews, they have a wheat ale caled tire bite that i like, i dont like the turbo dog much, but abita amber is good stuff in my book. All this beer talk i think ill go to the flying saucer tonight!
