Tin Roof hires a CEO

Tin Roof Q and A
I like the Voodoo and have to say I haven't had the Juke Joint but I'm pulling for these guys. I think they do have a shot at getting bigger and better.
Anyone think of what they need to do? I've had some bad beers they put out over the years so hopefully that eases up.

A nice outdoor space would go a long way. Tin Roof having a NOLA kind of pull in getting people to the brewery would be huge for them in BR.

They need better beers and to have a food truck at their place all the time.

Voodoo is a pretty solid pale ale, haven't had any of the other revamped beers but it helps that the beer at Tin Roof is super cheap. Went at happy hour on a Friday and was paying $2-4 a beer.

The Voodoo is a good beer and it is pretty cheap and it's the first one I've cared for. I've been told here that Juke Joint was a good one as well.
Both are newer and from a new brewmaster and staff as I heard and was confirmed on here that they canned the old team because they refused to make the beers the owners wanted.

Jacob is a college buddy of mine and is a really nice guy. Good for him.
I haven't had any of Tin Roof's beer but I'm rooting for them, obviously.

Is it better to have an inconsistent brewery or no brewery at all? I think Tin Roof will only get better and it takes a lot of humility to admit you need a new CEO. Baton Rouge will support them so will I.

They changed brewmasters last year as well
I've enjoyed their Parade Ground coffee porter and TurnRow
I'm not a big IPA fan so many of their brews do nothing to pull me in towards buying.

Actually he's the first CEO - I believe the owners were running it so yes to admit that and hire someone is a good first step.
And as far as inconsistent I can't say.I didn't drink the beers because I didn't like any until Voodoo came out, which I believe was the first beer made by the new brewing team and I like it so I would think that is a step in the right direction.

Good for them. I had a voodoo the other night. And while it wasn't bad, it was just bland. Didn't want me craving another.

The Voodoo Pale ale is solid.
I was also impressed the last time I had a Bayou Bengal Lager.
Juke Joint is a decent IPA but a little odd on the finish (Muscadine/Raisin notes)
FOMO DIPA is decent, a step in the right direction but a little to sweet for my preferences in a DIPA.
The new version Gameday IPA is light years better than the original version (which tasted like a hoppy bud light). It's an average Session IPA, not bad by any means but I'd prefer Founders All Day IPA 9 times out of 10.
I was pleasantly surprised with the Watermelon Wheat that they released this summer, it wasn't near as sweet as I had expected.
IMO, my least favorite beers on tap at the brewery right now are the Bocage Saison and the malty mess that is the Chicken Wire Bock.

Need to blow it up and start all over.
Also, LSU needs to make Parish Brewery the official beer of LSU. LA's flagship brewery for LA's flagship school.

Jacob knows beer so they hired a good guy for sure.

Great hire. Like everyone else said Vodoo is a good beer. I like parade ground as well. But I'm not grabbing a six pack of anything else they make.
Posted on 9/21/17 at 2:17 pm to KamaCausey_LSU
I even like the Blonde.

Met him before. Coached his son in T-ball.

Here come the downvotes and snarky comments from people who haven't had a Tin Roof beer in 3 years.
Voodoo is a very good APA. Not quite on Envie's level, but still really solid.
Juke Joint 2.0 is a nice IPA. Very Mosaic forward, minus the onion that hop exudes a lot of times.
Gose With The Flow was a really well done gose this year. Crushable lawnmower/pool beer.
Gameday was improved this year, but I'd always pick Voodoo over that one given that they are very close in ABV.
FOMO wasn't really what I wanted in a NE-style DIPA. But it was far from undrinkable.
As far as the other flagships like Blonde, Turnrow, Bayou Bengal, they're not really things I drink in general, but they are perfectly fine beers. I don't drink Canebrake or Southern Drawl or NOLA Blonde either, but that doesn't mean they aren't well done beers by those breweries.
I do know Jacob and call him a friend. He knows the beer business both from the supplier side and the consumer side. He knows what consumers want and what sells. As long as he's given the resources, I think he can fine tune what's going on over there and do some things that both the general public and the beer nerds like.
Downvote away.
