Breweries without a good location or robust distribution are hurting everywhere. Gone are the days when you can run a taproom in the back of a light-industrial park with a few taps around town.

This is how I see it as well. And if you don’t already have robust distribution, it seems like a pretty daunting task to improve upon at this point. There just aren’t many new beer drinkers.

I’d be curious how Rally Cap is doing since they fall more into the latter of what you describe, very similar to Agile, but a little more centrally located and little nicer space.

I’d imagine Grain Creations moving in next door to Agile didn’t help. I thought Agile brewed good textbook beer, but it was never anything that interesting and the lineup got pretty stale to me. Also, I never liked Agile’s branding - too cold and techy.

A nice citrusy pale.

Tax increase for teacher pay raise will never pass. Too many children attend private school. Why should parents who pay for private school pay for an increase in salary for public school teachers?

Not in Livingston parish. One of the main reasons people move there is for the public schools.

JRAD with Branford Marsalis and Warren Haynes was next level

I went Friday and Saturday last weekend. Friday was great and Saturday was another level. I’ve liked what I’ve heard and seen from this weekend so far. Will be interesting to see if they go no repeats next weekend, I’m assuming so.

I love sashimi and other small plates that emphasize high-quality raw fish like toro, uni, or salmon belly, but I will still not tolerate Philly roll slander.

I went a couple times and really enjoyed it. Great wine list. The food was really good and unique but ultimately nothing that would wow you. Some of the dishes were bad values, like the iberico plate. Service was great, but they weren’t that busy.

Perusing the menu, I just couldn't figure out how one would make an actual meal out of what they were serving.

Definitely some truth to this. It was really catered to groups of 4 or so that wanted to share a bunch of stuff and not get too caught up splitting up the bill. Not ideal for a lunch or quick dinner.

:sad:

RIP Bobby. This is a tough one.
