BEER FACT: Many years ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the
rim or handle of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they used the whistle to
get some service. “Wet your whistle,” is the phrase inspired by this practice.
Get The Most Out Of Top Of The Hops
An Introduction To Various Beer Styles
Welcome to the Inaugural Top of the Hops Beer Festival - Biloxi presented by Lazy Magnolia Brewing
Company. With over 150 beers available for you to sample, there is no way to try them all, so here
are some tips to make the most of your festival experience:
MAKE A GAME PLAN
Pick a theme to organize your tasting choice.
• Pick one style of beer and compare samples from various breweries. • Taste a number of bitter beers: Pale Ales, German Pilsners, and India Pale Ales.
• Taste a range of sweeter, malty beers: Scottish Ales, German and Czech Dark Beers, Porters and Stouts.
• Taste beers of a certain region such as U.S. Pacific Coast beers, or beers from a certain country like Belgium.
Regardless of your plan, always remember to pace yourself!
HOW TO TASTE BEER
LOOK: Raise the beer in front of you and marvel at its greatness before you drink.
Note the beer’s color, head and consistency. With numerous styles of beer available, it can be easy to get them confused. Here’s a quick look at
some more commonly known styles of beer to bring you into the know:
SMELL: aggressive character, and little to no fruity flavor. Lagers are brewed using bottom-fermenting yeast at lower
temperatures and for longer durations than those typically used to brew ales.
Sniff the beer - note its aroma and bouquet.
TASTE:
Taste is by far the most subjective and important factor when evaluating a beer.
Try a sample and note the beer’s unique flavor.
TIPS AND TRICKS
• Start your day by sampling beers with a lighter flavor before moving on to heavier beers.
• Rinse your glass between samples. Water and rinse buckets will be at each table.
• Take notes and grade the beers so you can remember which beers you like and dislike.
• Drink plenty of water.
• Take some time to eat. There are numerous vendors on-site serving all types of food.
• Know your limits and please drink responsibly.
• Take a taxi if needed.

The trUe CoLorS of the SoUtH
For 25 years, the Abita Brewing Company has hand-crafted full flavored
ales and lagers in the small town of Abita Springs, Louisiana. Abita Beer
has no preservatives, additives or stabilizers and is made with pure Abita
Springs water drawn directly from the Southern Hills Aquifer.
Brilliant amber, bright copper and rich chocolate: these are some of the
colors of the South. Made with the finest ingredients, crafted for the best
people. Made in Louisiana, enjoyed everywhere.
BEER FACT: The type of water in a beer can strongly affect its taste. Superior ales are
produced with ‘hard water’ (containing a higher content of natural salts such as calcium) while ‘soft water’ produces superior lagers. However, with the advent of water
treatment, some Caribbean breweries even use desalinated seawater in their beers.

BEER FACT: The type of water in a beer can strongly affect its taste. Superior ales are
produced with ‘hard water’ (containing a higher content of natural salts such as calcium) while ‘soft water’ produces superior lagers. However, with the advent of water
treatment, some Caribbean breweries even use desalinated seawater in their beers.
BEER FACT: The United States two-dollar bill features three brewers: George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Samuel Adams. In fact, George Washington
installed a brewhouse on his grounds at Mount Vernon.

o
Alpine Glacier (American Pale Lager) The majestic Rocky Mountains have inspired the cool refreshing taste of Alpine Glacier
Lager. As clean and fresh as the rushing water from icy streams and as brisk as a climb up a frozen glacier, this brew contains the finest
ingredients in the Tommyknocker tradition.
o
Jack Whacker Wheat Ale (American Wheat Ale) This American-style wheat ale is a light, unfiltered brew with a citrus aroma
and flavor imparted by a late addition of lemon grass. This unfiltered beer retains all of its protein, flavor, and some of its yeast, resulting
in a traditionally cloudy appearance. It’s the perfect refreshment for a thirsty, trail weary, ale lover.
o
Maple Nut Brown Ale (American Brown Ale) A delicate amount of Maple syrup is added to each barrel of our award winning
Maple Nut Brown Ale to impart roasted sweetness. This addition balances the nut flavor produced by chocolate malts used in the
brewhouse, producing a drinkable dark amber ale with a relatively low alcohol content.
o
Ornery Amber (American Lager) Amber with an Attitude! The brisk flavor, rich ruby color, and extra crisp finish create a sensation that will
ripple the taste buds of the most discerning palate. Ornery Amber is brewed with a blend of the finest European hops and gently roasted malts.
