I won't name names, but considering one of the Nola guys and I shared a SW Dank Tank Red Hot Mama one night and he tried to tell me it was a sour, I'm not so sure some of the decision makers know any better.
You do know NOLA has about 23 employees right now. Not all those guys are brewers.
I find it funny that a few people hate their DIPA and now they should go hire some new brewers. I can tell you the person that is responsible for Mecha recipe has been brewing for a long long arse time. Maybe he's too old school for the newer hop head generation. But they do have some younger cats in there with good ideas and good things coming.

I don't hate Mecha, but it is subpar. They could do so much better. I don't know what the reason is, but I just wish NOLA would make an IPA I want to drink.

Yeah, I wasn't gonna touch that. Without knowing who it was, there's no point. And I don't want to.
And I don't think the Mecha is a DIPA you can hang your hat on, I've said that before. But one underwhelming recipe does not characterize an entire brewery. I have a lot of respect for some of their recipes. ICS is solid and it's a GREAT base stout to take on character from their various tweaks to the beer. I like the Brown. Hell of a lot of flavor for the size of that beer. Rebirth is solid. Prefer Envie, but solid. Love 7th Street.

This. Their funky stuff is going to be a lot of fun once they get it settled in. I'm excited about where they're going.
I'd still like to see a better DIPA.

Which is why I said some of those guys know what they're doing. You were next to me last week when I praised Arabella and I drink my fair share of mecha. The guy I shared a beer with was a brewer.
