re: All Relation Brewing in New Orleans set to close (possibly temporary/maybe forever)

No doubt COVID screwed them. Goes without saying, it's screwing every business essentially.

They are in a great area for a brewery, yes? Theyre on the right side of St Charles located on Tchop, a stones throw from countless other thriving food and bev places, including a few other breweries

Zony Mash,

Right, which is kind of my point and the opposite of what ARB did. Zony set up in a shithole off the beaten path, but they also didnt likely pour in a million plus dollars. They got barrels for tables, mismatched furniture, a building with a smaller footprint. It appears they are focused on organic growth, with the flexibility to move locations if it grows.

It wouldn't have mattered if they were on Magazine Street

Not what I was suggesting at all. But if I handed you a boatload of cash to go build a brewery, are you spending 675k on a building in CC as a starting point? lol

I am not scared to go to central city but let's face it, it's on the news every night for the wrong reasons. On top of the crime, the demo of CC is old, black and poor. There was an attempt to make the OCH corridor a thing - Dryades Market, done. Toups, Primotivo, done. New Orleans Jazz Market is probably next. Mais Arepas is the only place that can survive out there apparently.

Have you been there? Their facility is humongous.

Ive talked to a few people, they arent done done, apparently.

Fingers crossed

Supposedly they have 300+ To go orders to be picked up between now and Sunday

Of course being easy to get to is relative. But I don’t think they built that space out with the intent for people to swing by and pick up beers. I’m talking about being an attractive destination for on premise consumption. Of course they need both to survive

Say what you will about courtyard, but there was something organically cool about it being just a a loading dock prior to the renovation of the old space.

Naw. That space sucks

I can’t support a guy like Scott Wood.

If he wasn’t vomiting his virtue signaling politics everywhere, & ran It with an ounce of professionalism, maybe.

but that dude is a giant pussy.

He was talking about the old location, not Camp St

Swung by and grabbed a bunch of Legit Snack, Speghetti Models, and Star Wipes at closing. Also grabbed a few packs of Job Money at Bin Q. Really sad to see them go.

Those guys were class acts; super nice and always friendly when I picked up my covid brews. I wish them luck and will be there to support them with any other nola endeavors they might try!
