I thought the Red Stick Rye was fantastic and the Pompous Pelican was good, but I don't drink DIPA's so I can't compare it to much. I would gladly drink the Red Stick Rye regularly in both restaurants and bottle/can from stores. I live nearby as well and I'm looking forward to checking out the taproom. The owner said he'd like to get it open by the end of summer. He also said they are working on a summer seasonal which sounded pretty good.

I've had 'em both. They're pretty good. Better than anything Tin Roof has put out.

I'm really surprised there are just two craft breweries in Baton Rouge after all these years. I think Abita being such an established brand has scared people off. Maybe if Southern Craft does well, that will encourage other folks to enter the business.

My dream is for an upstart company to partner with a good local chef and open up a brewpub in the old Entergy site on Government Street. I think that would be a home run. Either that, or for a new brewery to have a booth in that White Star Market that's going up on Government.
