I won't name names, but considering one of the Nola guys and I shared a SW Dank Tank Red Hot Mama one night and he tried to tell me it was a sour, I'm not so sure some of the decision makers know any better.
Well, from what I know about the owner, he is a businessman, who was drinking a bottle of DIXIE when he realized it wasn't brewed in New Orleans anymore and the light-bulb went off to start a local brewery. So I'm not sure how passionate he is about making something world-class. He probably sees the Mecha is selling enough and doesn't see any reason to tweak it.
The head brewer at Nola used to be the brewmaster at DIXIE. Not exactly a great pedigree there.

I guess this is true. Abita sells Jockamo, so why tweak the recipe of one the worst IPAs out there?
3BD is another Mecha. I am going to finish these so y'all don't have to listen to me complain about how meh they are.

I thought they were losing money on mecha. I read that somewhere in the past. What happens with all the mechas that get old in the stores. Does nola eat that or does the distributors eat some of it?
Seems like a brewer should be able to figure our if their brews are bad, ok, or good but this seems to happen with lots of restaurants. The owners swear they put out a good product when it's not the case.
Not saying Nola puts out bad products because I like a lot of their stuff. Just think their hoppy beers (pale ale, ipa, and DIPA) could be tweaked to make them better. I will continue to drink rebirth and hopitoulas from time to time but would drink even more if it was better.
