I 100% agree. If I knew the first thing about starting a brewery, I'd move back to LA and find investors ASAP.

There are so many great breweries up where I live - and what's cool is that they never seem to be in competition with one another. They all just focus on making really solid brews, and people become customers of all of them. I've definitely been known to go to 3 or 4 breweries on a nice Saturday afternoon.

Impossible to compare different regions because the laws vary wildly.

Go to the breweries up there and tell them:

1. You can no longer sell beer directly to customers.
2. You can have tours of the brewery and can give 36 oz. of free samples with a purchase of a tour.
3. You can't sell beer to go, but you can upgrade the tour and they can take a limited amount of beer with them.
4. You can only be open certain hours.

That's how it is in Georgia.

This. Most brewers tend to help each other out and respect each other's beers. I can see one brewer getting butthurt if they are getting their asses kicked, but generally they will all find their niche in the market.

I think Baton Rouge could support a number of new breweries. Most breweries start out small and cater mainly locals, like a restaurant.
