I think it's great

I will henceforth refer to it as FitM.

That being said, they're both very good DIPAs and I look forward to being able to compare them side by side either both in a bottle or both on tap, just not sure when that will occur.

They're just trying to meet demand in the Shreve/Bossier, Ruston, and Natchitoches markets for the time being. They have space and plans to expand production but are focusing on making their cans right, and bottling a couple of bombers in the next 6 months (a rye saison and EH).

NOLA is the biggest craft beer market in the state so you can bet it is on their short-list of where they want to be sooner rather than later. I would think a year to 18 months maybe and they'll be in NOLA, but that's just me speculating, not anything I have heard from Andrew or Lindsay.

Absolutely. I have family/grew up in BR so I am frequently traveling south. Their 2 in cans (Southern Drawl and Commotion) are a great start and are wonderful introductory beers for their branding but nothing that is going to revolutionize beer drinking. I'm really interested to try their rye saison and to see how EH changes once they up-scale it.

Nothing they are putting out right now is worth trading for. Not that they are bad, its just a lager and a pale ale. Not very sexy styles, even though both are very well done.
