is there anyway another brewery could sue you for reverse engineering a beer and then just copying it as your own?

Seems like Pliny the Older and Heavy Topper fit the same niche.
I think you should ditch one of those and go for some Zombie Must.

I would name my brewery Rushing River, and my beers would be:
Erection
Immigration
Fornication
Constipation
Tiger Nation

You are not. Some states allow it but Louisiana Is def. not one of them

The zoning restrictions need to be changed, though. I don't know the ins and outs of it, but it seems like the obvious gap in coverage in BR is a good brewpub that sells great beer and great food. A place like that should be able to print money. It seems like a place like that has very little incentive to brew GREAT beer, because they wouldn't be able to sell it off premise in BR, right?
Seems like a bigger incentive to brew great beer since you won't have the distributors telling you that you have to have a blonde or wheat or some other ho hum beer to appeal to the masses. Brew great beer and people will flock to it. Case in point: Ghost.

Easier for LA distributors to buy off the politicians.

You would assume that most people who decide to open a new brewery are somewhat of beer nerds/snobs
just because you can make a good beer in a 5 gallon batch doesnt mean you know how to scale that up to feed the masses.

There is very little incentive to acquire a brew-pub license in Louisiana now.
If you acquire a commercial brewers license you can directly sell 3000 BBLs or 10% of production (whichever is greater) a year directly to the public AND sell off premise.
So unless you are a brew-pub that is planning on selling over 3000 BBLs a year directly to the public, it doesn't make much sense to get a 'microbrewery' license any more.

This...
Even if you can scale it up; it doesn't mean you will be able to procure the raw material (hops), acquire them at a decent price, and still be able to make a profit.
I think homebrewers tend to over simplify how difficult/expensive it is to run a production brewery.

Definitely agreed with that, which is why I think it shows when breweries hire experienced production brewers to lead their operations rather than homebrewers. There are certainly exceptions though.
