I know! I don't understand at all why any local place would not offer a good craft selection.



I never understood this. New Orleans may be the only place in the state that gets it, as many of the good restaurants have a wide variety of good craft beer.

But you'll go into a steak house and they will have over 500 bottles of wine. You ask about their beer and they have their "domestics" which is the big 3 shite beers, then the "imports" which is comprised of mexican lagers, and strangely Abita, Blue Moon, and Sam Adams.

With the incredible growth the craft beer industry has been growing through, you would think the restaurant industry would take advantage of it.

Maybe they are worried about availability on a consistent basis?

If so, at least get Sweetwater, Terrapin, Founders, etc. that are what I call MegaCraft breweries.

I disagree about New Orleans restaurants. Compared to similar culinary cities in America, New Orleans is still way behind the times as it relates to craft beer.

Not a lot of demand as far as I know. Not the same amount of demand as for large varieties of wine and mixed drinks for sure. Louisiana will catch up though. Abita just has such a strong grip on the state with good prices and quality beers, the average person doesn't try to go farther than that
