Ehh Cigar City is the only one of those that really stands out for me. Sure the other ones make good well above average beer, but their mainstays aren't what I would call world changing.

If his IIPA production batch ends up like the bottle we drank for the Super Bowl, then there is no doubt in my mind that it will be better than anything that Terrapin, Good People, or Terrapin make.

I know that is a bold statement but of all the brewers in LA Andrew is the most capable of putting quality beer out. His Grand Reserve made it to the final round of GABF this year for its style, so while it didn't medal it did make some waves. Now that he has the space to produce high end beers I think we will start talking more about what a great brewery Parish will be/is.

I guess I'm in the minority that doesn't really see their hype.

I really like some of the stuff Terrapin has done, though.

And Good People's Snake Handler DIPA is very nice. I think it's a good measuring stick for the Parish DIPA.

If Parish is in the discussion with those breweries though, it's a win.

no offense, but you seemed to be too emotionally invested to speak on this topic

i would probably put boo in the same category

you both want a Louisiana brewery to be successful soooooooooo bad. and you know what, i hope they are successful.

you both have seen a lot more than i have, but i will reserve judgment until i try more offerings. canebreak and grand reserve are good for their style, but nothing i would consider groundbreaking.

i look forward to trying those more adventerous offerings.
