I heard a few months ago they were coming to MS/LA, but nothing on shelves yet.

I'm craving an IPA and got to thinking this might be the place to ask.

this is one of the articles from the ajc discussing increasing production and likely distribution but it doesn't mention ms or la specifically. i love sweetwater ipa and lowryeder ipa and hope they make it available here.

No crud there are better, I'm craving a light, drinkable IPA, specifically SW.

Perhaps, being in ATL was a trigger, but thanks for the commentary smart guy.

Nola Hopitoulas, Sierra Nevada, Stone

I wasn't trying to be pretentious or anything, I just interpreted the OP's post as if he'd only had one craft beer ever and it was Sweetwater. I meant to encourage him to branch out and try other things too.

I've heard hopeful rumblings about their increased capacity meaning they will be headed this way, but it's all optimistic rumors and hope. And change.

I personally would rather drink a Sweetwater IPA or 420 over those. Plus they are relatively cheap for a 6'er.

Aren't the Hopitoulas cans supposed to be out now or soon? I saw something on Twitter over the weekend I think.

Respectfully disagree. Im not a fan of 420, their ipa is good, but just as good as stone and hopitoulas.

I live in Houston so I won't be seeing it until the next time I go to New Orleans.. probably like March or so.

Sweetwater IPA is a good brew. One that gets overlooked some is Sweetwater Happy Ending. It is a very good imperial stout. I like the brewery as a whole. You guys in La really get screwed on distribution. Hopefully, that will change sooner than later.
