I had never heard about the brewery history in Shreveport. Google books has a few pages in a book preview. I was just reading portions of it.

Its interesting to think about what might have been with Shreveport. I've heard that with Shreveport's early roots in country music (LA Hayride) that Shreveport could have been what Nashville is to country music today. Also, had the breweries not been killed by prohibition...Shreveport could have been a city with a lot more culture than what it is today.
