The brews in question range from a premium lager to an odd blend of stout, lightale and brandy known as Black Snake, but it is the Honey Blonde Ale that gets people talking.
According to the brewery, this lightale, which would be marketed in school-color purple and gold cans, would be called Bandit Blonde after a defensive unit on the school's 1958 national-championship squad.
You could go with something heavy and strong like a Belgian ale to to cut through the fats and starches, something light to cleanse the palate between bites to let the food shine, or something darker, malty, and moderate to complement the traditional main dishes.
