Malt, Hops & Mood: Choosing a Beer Based on Your Day

Malt, Hops & Mood: Choosing a Beer Based on Your Day

Lost Spring Brewing Co | Ocean Springs, Mississippi

Some days call for something crisp and carefree. Others beg for bold and brooding. At Lost Spring Brewing Co, we believe beer should match your mood as much as your palate. Because let’s face it—your taste buds are part of your vibe.

Here’s your unofficial, unapologetically subjective guide to choosing the right brew for whatever kind of day you’re having.

🌞 Feeling Light & Breezy? Grab a Kölsch or Blonde Ale.

You woke up on the right side of the bed. The sun’s out, the playlist is good, and everything feels just a little easier today. You’re in your “life is chill” era.

Your Match: A clean, crisp Kölsch or a smooth Blonde Ale. Think easy sipping, low bitterness, just enough flavor to keep it interesting. Pairs well with patios, people-watching, and spontaneous road trips.

🔥 Feeling Bold & Fired Up? It’s IPA Time.

Got something to prove? Conquering to-do lists, starting a project, or just radiating main character energy? You’re in a go-big-or-go-home mindset.

Your Match: One of our hop-forward IPAs. Whether you lean citrusy and juicy or piney and bitter, an IPA is assertive, confident, and unapologetically loud. Just like you today.

🌊 Feeling Reflective or Moody? Pour a Porter or Stout.

It's been a day. Maybe you're lost in thought, riding out a creative wave, or just savoring some alone time. This is your introspective soundtrack.

Your Match: A rich porter or stout. Dark chocolate, roasted coffee, maybe a hint of smoke—complex flavors that linger and evolve. Perfect for journaling, stargazing, or getting lost in conversation.

🌿 Feeling Grounded & Grateful? Try a Saison or Herbal Ale.

Today you’re tuned in. Present. A little earthy, a little spiritual. Whether you're coming off a yoga class or just enjoying the breeze through the trees, you're in sync with the rhythm of the day.

Your Match: A saison with subtle spice, or one of our herb-infused small-batch ales. They’re creative, wild, and rooted—just like your state of mind.

🎉 Feeling Social & Spontaneous? Say Yes to the Sour.

You're out with friends, maybe a little flirty, definitely in party mode. The group chat is popping off and your plans are...fluid.

Your Match: A tart, fruity sour or gose. Bright, buzzy, and made for moments that don’t need a plan. It’s a drink that turns heads and keeps the night going.

🧠 Feeling Curious or Adventurous? Go Experimental.

You’re not here for the usual. You want a beer that’s been barrel-aged with figs or dry-hopped with something you can’t pronounce. You’re a flavor explorer.

Your Match: Ask us what’s on the pilot system. It might be a collaboration with a local chef, a beer aged in rum barrels, or something totally new. One thing’s for sure: you won’t be bored.
