Hello, dbostedo. Ah, lagniappe - it's a Louisiana/east Texas thing. I often forget that it is a regionalism, like kolaches in Texas...
I'll take you up on your offer! I usually take a warm-up on Honeysuckle, but I'm comfortable on all the blues and a few blacks these days. Afterwards, we'll find out from other pugskiers what this beer thing is all about. I've heard it makes a decent chaser for a good whisky.
"Blues and some blacks" sounds like it describes my skiing... should be a good time.
