Abita and very little nola.

Nothing says support your local business like not giving an outlet to other local businesses.

Parish not even on the list...maybe they are the "more"

It's the most common NOLA variants you see. Is what it is.

Overall a pretty weak list, but it's about what I'd expect and there are a few winners/surprises in there. Boulder is surprise for me.

I'm looking forward to this. I'm a big fan of the Zapp's Beer Fest, I'm hoping this will be like the fall version of that event. Do you know if they'll have any homebrewers there?

Ah, come on. I've dropped $40+ on a random arse night at a bar. This is for charity, there will probably be a good turnout and hopefully, the weather will be good.

$40 not worth the tap list then dodging checkpoints getting out of Baker.

Homebrewers in it and I would be reserving Uber.

...and every drink I would have had was better than practically everything on that list. It's not strictly about the money. I don't want to go there for a "beer event" and drink mediocre beer. And most of the people that will probably be there are probably "craft beer drinkers," and by that I mean they drink Shiner and think IPAs taste bitter.

I went once. It was depressing. It made me want to become an animal rights activist.

There is no longer an elephant exhibit. They gave their elephant away to another zoo.


Probably sold it to poachers to keep the gates open.
