You do know NOLA has about 23 employees right now. Not all those guys are brewers.



Yeah, I wasn't gonna touch that. Without knowing who it was, there's no point. And I don't want to.

And I don't think the Mecha is a DIPA you can hang your hat on, I've said that before. But one underwhelming recipe does not characterize an entire brewery. I have a lot of respect for some of their recipes. ICS is solid and it's a GREAT base stout to take on character from their various tweaks to the beer. I like the Brown. Hell of a lot of flavor for the size of that beer. Rebirth is solid. Prefer Envie, but solid. Love 7th Street.

This. Their funky stuff is going to be a lot of fun once they get it settled in. I'm excited about where they're going.

I'd still like to see a better DIPA.

I've only had a couple NOLA beers, but nothing has blown me away. I see a couple of you guys drinking what sounds like experimental stuff at their tap room.

They should start an experimental series that they bottle and do limited releases at the tap room or something. Maybe throw in some bottled ICS variants into the series. This may generate some more buzz and help them find a couple other brews for their regular lineup.

This idea has worked well for St Arnold, Real Ale and Karbach here in Texas.

They have to do it right, though. Lakewood has a "legendary series" that has been anything but legendary.
