Here come the downvotes and snarky comments from people who haven't had a Tin Roof beer in 3 years.

Voodoo is a very good APA. Not quite on Envie's level, but still really solid.

Juke Joint 2.0 is a nice IPA. Very Mosaic forward, minus the onion that hop exudes a lot of times.

Gose With The Flow was a really well done gose this year. Crushable lawnmower/pool beer.

Gameday was improved this year, but I'd always pick Voodoo over that one given that they are very close in ABV.

FOMO wasn't really what I wanted in a NE-style DIPA. But it was far from undrinkable.

As far as the other flagships like Blonde, Turnrow, Bayou Bengal, they're not really things I drink in general, but they are perfectly fine beers. I don't drink Canebrake or Southern Drawl or NOLA Blonde either, but that doesn't mean they aren't well done beers by those breweries.

I do know Jacob and call him a friend. He knows the beer business both from the supplier side and the consumer side. He knows what consumers want and what sells. As long as he's given the resources, I think he can fine tune what's going on over there and do some things that both the general public and the beer nerds like.

Downvote away.

I don't know enough to really have an opinion, but I gave you an upvote.

I haven't seen Juke Joint or Gose with the Flow in the stores. Are they in distribution?

I'll be on my tractor in a couple hours bush hogging with an ice chest strapped to the fender and a six pack of Voodoo in it.

But I also will have a couple Blooms tucked down in the bottom.

I see no reason to down vote.

Good post.

Hopefully Jacob runs some sort of PR campaign to better get the message out to the average consumer that they're brewing very different beers than a year ago in terms of quality and consistency. To me Tin Roof primarily has an image problem now days.
