How do they stay in business??

The stuff I tried from them wasn't awful, it was just average and nothing special. There are a lot of breweries that put out average stuff that stay in business. Ditto restaurants.

Have you ever been to the grocery beer cooler and watched someone pull out a sixer of Jockamo (I know, now defunct), and you want to say to them, "Dude, try this DDH Envie!", but you probably just keep your mouth shut because then there's more for you? That guy is keeping mediocre breweries in business.

Also, people like supporting local products. There are probably a lot of people who support Tin Roof because it's a Baton Rouge brewery, and even if you think it sucks, it's still a helluva lot better than Budweiser. It's all relative...
