This is where I stopped reading.

No it isn't. Because the scoring portion comes before the list of breweries.

What is your issue with having all of the breweries on a list to score all of the breweries?

And what is your issue with the scoring system?

Their IPA/Pale Ales leave a lot to be desired, but I like the blonde ale, barelywine (Swampsquatch - strong and boozy), and the stout is pretty good. I think 2 is a little harsh, probably closer to 6-8 personally. Atmosphere would be higher if they ever got real bathrooms.

Didn’t have time to break out each score. Scored only ones I’ve visited in last couple years.

Better sours than NOLA? I've been out of the beer circles for a while, but NOLA always had my favorite sours in the state.
