I was also a little bummed that some of the local brewers didn't do anything special -- Parish, Abita and Nola just had out their normal selection of beers. It would have been cool if they had a preview of a new product.
This could be a result of the new restrictions being imposed on beer festivals by the ATC.
In the past a brewery could simply brew something off the wall and serve it at Zapps.
Since breweries are no longer allowed to 'donate' beer to the festival, they have to brew something, sell it to a local distributor, pay the state their taxes, have the distributor sell it to Zapps at retail, and finally donate the same price of the keg back to Zapps.

I thought Crooked Letter Brewing was supposed to be there?
This may be due to the new ATC restrictions... If Crooked Letter Brewing hasn't signed with a distributor in Baton Rouge I'm not sure they would be able to serve at Zapps.

But I thought Troy Hebert was supposed to be beer friendly? I cringe every time I hear someone say this.

Really? It's all handled and operated by the distributors?

That's about the most bass-ackwards asinine thing I've heard in ages. I hope they can change the laws about this soon.
