Is there one? To my knowledge, Tin Roof is the only one in BR. I'm no beer aficionado, but I don't think Tin Roof crafts a very good beer. Do they make any money? Is there room in the BR market for another to actually make some good beer? Calling all FBD'ers.

There are two, Tin Roof and Southern Craft.

Tin Roof does... Southern Craft is very very new, so probably not yet.

There is plenty of room.

There may be. I think Tin Roof's Turnrow is alright. I'd like to see them put Smilin' Ivan in cans because that stuff is amazing.

However, I think there's money to be made with a brewery/restaurant/music venue if it can be located in mid-city along government, near the Perkins Road Overpass, or in downtown close to the 3rd Street bars.

I was just talking with a friend the other day about how someone in Baton Rouge could make a ton of money by opening a Cidery.

I'm personally not a big cider fan - generally too sweet for my taste. But someone could corner that market in BR, and being in a place that is warm for most of the year, cider would probably be very popular. Especially with the ladies.

I keep hoping someone in BR makes a goat level beer so that we can brewery shitlord it without traveling.
