re: Any word on Cajun Brewing out of Lafayette?

Bayou Teche isn't my favorite, I'm not a fan of Belgian flavors, but to call their beer a gimmick is pretty ignorant.

Exactly.

I find their stuff is hit and miss, but the ones they do hit on, ie Loup Garu and the honey wheat beer in bourbon barrels, are really good.

As for the Ragin Cajun beer being gimmicky, maybe so, but it's something the guys did in teaming up with the UL-Lafayette marketing department to give some of their students a bit of experience on a real product. And it's actually been a hit on sales, just like Canebrake. The beer is something that both your typical BMC drinker and craft beer drinkers (probably not beer snobs) can all enjoy on a warm, sunny day.
