Our Beer
Southern Pecan
Southern Pecan Nut Brown Ale is the first beer in the world, to our knowledge, made with whole roasted pecans. The pecans are used just like grain and provide a nutty characteristic and a delightful depth to the flavor profile. This beer is very lightly hopped to allow the malty, caramel, and nutty flavors shine through. The color is dark mahogany. Southern Pecan won a Bronze Medal in the 2006 World Beer Cup in the Specialty Beer category.
The Story
Mark is the crazy, creative force behind Lazy Magnolia. He comes up with ideas that often seem to have no chance of succeeding. One of those ideas was to make a beer with pecans. Many attempts at nut-beers have resulted in failure due to the high oil content. Mark was determined, so Leslie designed the recipe to work around the problem of nut oil. Even so, she had very little faith in the creation until they poured the first perfect pint. Southern Pecan has been a big hit ever since.

Southern Gold
Southern Gold is Lazy Magnolia's Golden Honey Ale. Brewed with locally produced honey, this light-bodied brew was designed specifically for the City of Hattiesburg, MS., the home of the University of Southern Mississippi. This refreshing beer is noted by its smooth character and gentle, sweet honey finish.
The Story
Southern Gold was the creation of Lazy Magnolia Brewster Leslie Henderson. In keeping with Lazy Magnolia's effort to craft beer suited for the Southern Palate, Southern Gold utilizes locally grown honey from nearby Ellisville, MS., which is provided by Mark Henderson's own bee-keeping Uncle Milton.
Leslie felt the lighter profile of the Southern Gold was well suited for the warm climate of Southern Mississippi, and the recipe has been a big success since its release in July of 2007.

The Story
Reb Ale was Lazy Magnolia's first recipe designed to accommodate one, specific location. It was brewed in recognition of the overwhelming support of the Oxford, Mississippi market, home to the University of Mississippi. Oxford is a special place, deeply rooted in history and a vibrant center for the arts and Southern culture. This special recipe was a way to thank the initial and continued support of Lazy Magnolia Brewing Company by the good folks in Oxford, as well as the throngs of Ole Miss Alumni who make annual trips to their alma mater.

Jefferson Stout
Jefferson Stout, Lazy Magnolia's original Sweet Potato Cream Stout, is Lazy Magnolia's version of the ideal Southern-Style Stout. Jefferson Stout is brewed with sweet potatoes and lactose (milk sugar). The sweet potatoes provide the background to an impressive taste with added notes of roasted chocolate, coffee and caramel flavors.
The Story
The story of the Jefferson Stout recipe highlights Lazy Magnolia's focus on the company motto ("We don't tell people what to like, we give them great choices."), as well as the practice of listening to our customers. Specifically, the idea for this recipe came from a good friend of Lazy Magnolia, Chef Steve D'Angelo. As the former Owner /Chef at Bay City Grill in Bay St. Louis and early supporter of Lazy Magnolia, Chef Steve is credited with this creative recipe. We don't tell people what to like, we just give them great choices!
