I don't know what your connection is to Louisiana but if get all of your info from this board you would be missing out on the big picture.


I spent a good bit of my childhood in St. Francisville, and went to LSU. Ever since I had kids, I don't get back to Louisiana, except for an occasional football game. All of my family has moved out of state, although I still have friends in LA.

I don't see much going on in Portland that can't happen in LA. For lack of a better word, the beer density is very high in Portland. You don't have to drive far to find a brewery or a good taproom.

I don't know the landscape down there very well, but if I was opening a brewery, I would open it in LA, before I opened it in OR. There just seems to be a lot of opportunity in LA, the people that step forward and take the chance are going to take advantage of it. Repealing some archaic laws will probably happen at some point, right?

The scene here is still just a baby but has really boomed in the last year. Minus the politics it could be a very good opportunity. Six years ago we had no breweries in NO, which has a rich history of breweries, then one pops up with five employees and second hand equipment. Now today the place is a mini empire even with three competitors in town now with a fourth opening up right down the street. I'll basically have three breweries in my backyard and this is just in New Orleans. Add the northshore to this and that number doubles. Every time one of these places open more and more people become part of the craft beer scene.
