Is Lazy Magnolia the best brewery in the MS/LA area?

I love Parish, Nola, and the others as much as everyone here. But, now with the addition of their honeysuckle Belgian, the more I think about their overall quality of product, I think Lazy Magnolia is the best overall brewery. I think that maybe because it is so readily available in Louisiana, that it doesn't get the talk and discussions that it should.
Lazy Magnolia
Southern Pecan
Timber Beast (my favorite rye IPA in the area)
Jefferson Stout (sweet potato stout)
Southern Gentleman (Southern Pecan in bourbon barrel)
Southern Hops'pitality
Southern Belle (Southern Pecan in Pinot Noir barrel)
Backwoods Belgian (ale with honeysuckle)
Indian Summer
Southern Gold
Deep South
ETA: I wish they would experiment with their Jefferson Stout in the bourbon barrels.

I like Timber Beast, but from their other regular line-up, I find none of it that great. Jefferson Stout gets some love, but I find it to be very underwhelming.

Would get more live from me if southern gentleman was released in bombers as a limited seasonal

Nola edges them out, IMO.

Toss up between them and Nola.

I don't think its close at all. the only beer that lazy mags makes that's any good is timber beast. the rest of their line up is average at best.

I rank LM up there because of their large lineup as well as the fact that Jeff Stout and TB are both really solid beers (although I'm not the biggest Tim Beast cheerleader out there).
Nola kills it with ICS and Hoptoo + Mecha are pretty good but have their flaws. I subtract points from Nola because I dislike their Brown and Blonde ales.

quantity doesn't equal quality imo.

I disagree here, I don't really drink either that much, but the brown is a nice easy drinking summer beer with a low abv and the blonde is really good for a blonde, its just a really boring style.
also, you failed to mention 2 of nolas best beers imo, the flambeux red and the hurricane saison.

ya know I've actually never had either of those ..

Good brewery, largely agree with your sentiments both wrt to nola and LM. I haven't had a chance to have any of the non-standard LM beers though.

we need to do a blind maven tasting of these two. I never drink the tin roof, and I only drink the nola blonde when I go to shows with the dudes from nola, they ALWAYS have multiple backpacks full of the stuff. wise knows whats up.

NOLA is a much better brewery to me.

I like Lazy Magnolia a good bit, but I don't think they are the best. Southern Pecan is a pretty good, drinkable beer. It is head and shoulders better than the pecan beer Abita puts out. Timber Beast is really good, however I only want a couple of them. Jefferson Stout is another pretty good beer, but I'll opt for an Irish Channel Stout every time. The other ones I see on tap (Indian Summer, Southern Gold, and the Deep South) I can do without. I find them to be insipid.
ETA: I like the Southern Gentleman, but I rarely find it available. When is the Belgian summer ale coming out? I've yet to see that one on the shelves.

Oh yes I do know what's up. They do a pretty good job during Mardi Gras too. They are a very hospitable bunch. One reason why I'm always gonna pick NOLA as best in state. Yes I'm a homer, but why not support the guys down the street from my house. Plus they make great beers too so it's a no brainer.
The Brown has one some awards if I'm not mistaken.

Have any of these announced new upcoming brews recently that I'm forgetting? It's been all about all the new breweries opening recently, wondering if I've forgotten about exciting things the old guard already has planned.

another vote for NOLA here
I've never had a bad beer from them.
Probably my least favorite was Pour Me Somethin' Mistah and I still would take it over a Jeff Stout.
