They had the guy for 2nd Line on WWL last night and he said something that was just a little mind-boggling. He said Louisiana has a total of 23 breweries and there are small towns in Oregon that have over 50 alone. Just shows how far behind the game we are down here.

Is this "Louisiana Craft Beer Week" only in New Orleans? Any events anywhere else?

besides the laws and the general bs that holds southern states back in these regards.
i think this plays a role on where beer is produced

Hop Producing Areas The majority of the world’s commercial hop production occurs between latitudes 35 and 55 degrees, either north or south of the equator. Day length during the growing season, as determined by latitude, has a major effect on yield. 2015 North American Commercial Hop Production Washington - 32,205 acres (70.8%) Oregon - 6,807 acres (15%) Idaho - 4,975 acres (10.9%) Other States - 1,244 acres (2.7%) Canada - 257 acres (0.6%) Total - 45,488 acres

Nah. Oregon has about 250 breweries total. I think Bend has about 25, and it has about 80K people. I can't think of any city with over 50, besides Portland.
Hood River has about 8K people and has about 10 breweries. That's a pretty good ratio.

Yeah, we a good ways behind, but compared to where we were even two years ago and compared to much of the country, I think we are doing pretty damn good.

Agreed, between more breweries entering the state and local breweries stepping up their game, Louisiana has come a long way.
There was a time where there wasn't a good locally produced Pale Ale.

Legit question: Does it matter how many local breweries there are as long as one can get the product?
Aside from drinking onsite I mean.

I can agree with this. My Oregon-Louisiana trades used to consist of me sending a bunch of Oregon beers down south for Good People, Karbach, Cigar City, Westbrook, Surly, Cantillon, St Arnold, and other non-Louisiana beers - with an occasional Parish Grand Reserve thrown in.
I am now happy to report that I get mainly LA beers and am very satisfied with that. I have friends up here who look forward to me recieving a package from Louisiana. Envie, Devil's Harvest and Ghost would do very well up here or in any market in the US, for that matter.

A lot of people take pride in drinking and supporting their local beers. Local breweries general means fresher product, too. More local breweries also means more choices. You might prefer Envie over Devil's Harvest, but you will probably rotate them to change it up. You just saw Gnarley Barley step up their IPA game this past weekend. People want to buy local beers.
I also find that breweries in Oregon do a lot of one offs, which I enjoy. I think they do that for the same reason - to offer their customers something different and to get them excited about their beers again.
Parish sells all of their Ghost fairly quickly after each batch is released. Once sales start slowing down, they will probably start doing some one offs to change things up, and it will renew the excitement, as everyone will want to try the "new" beer, which might be a beer made similarly to Ghost, but with a different hop profile.

Not to hijack, but Jax,
Do you have any preferences from British Columbia?
