Heads-Up CenLa, there's craft beer heading your way...

So, with my wife, our daughter, our dog, Huckleberry, 10 years commercial brewing experience, over 1,000 solo brews, 110 commercially sold recipes, 10 top 5 brewfest entries, 5 top 3, and 1 brewfest victory, I was prepared to put Cenla on the craft beer map.

So, as Mark Twain once said, “the secret to getting ahead is getting started,” and that’s exactly what I intend to do. The Huckleberry Brewing Company is a craft brewery located in the heart of Louisiana. Founded by an 8th generation Alexandrian, the HBC is as local as it gets.
I hope y’all will come, hang out a lil’, and try some of our brews, as we aim at pouring an adventure into every pint. We are the Rapides Original :

Huckleberry Brewing Co.
Y'all (The citizens of Central Louisiana) better not mess this up!

I hope I eat crow but I'm sure it'll be just like everything else in Central Louisiana.

I'll get a Huckleberry and go eat some Canes.

That was my first thought too, but he's been in Portland for 10 years and he has the beard.

Craft beer in Alexandria = Anything that's not Bud light or Budweiser

Gotta pay the bills somehow.
Unless this dude is loaded and not worried about turning a profit at first.

well he looks the part
and the fact that he has been in Portland the past 10 years learning how to brew and winning competitions gives me hope that this won't be the next Flying Heart

Mentions dog. So either hipster or redneck. I'm guessing hipster.

Well that’s his best shot to get a mass produced cash cow going. Regular BMC drinkers in that area who would like to support local aren’t going to grab cases of DIPAs and barrel aged sours off the shelves.
If he’s brewed in Portland, and keeps his beard, I’m sure he’ll try to brew stuff for the mavens too.

Towns in the Free-State are not CENLA.

This is the only case I hope hipster. They know how to brew beer. Redecks know how to consume it

As a former NWLA east texan, I never thought I'd see the day when Alexandria got a brewery. I'll be rooting for Jacob and his entrepreneurial spirit !!
If the business is run right, even if the beer is just average I think it will do really well. Alexandria needs something fun to do.

I figured someone would eventually try but always assumed it would be extremely shitty
this guy with his background at least gives me some hope

I hope he doesnt put any put any of his own money into this venture, the preachers will shout this down and there arent enough free thinkers in that area to support it.
