I just got one too for stating that population is a ridiculous measure for this issue.

How does a metro area of 700-800,000 people have one brewery? Lafayette has three, the Northshore has three, Shreveport has a few, etc.



You know we're about to get one downtown right?

Definitely agree. The first part is a very large problem because even when we do try to make improvements, people just shite all over them.

Example: Tin Roof may not be great beer, but it is at least a step in the right direction for BR. The same goes for the food scene. A lot has changed recently in both areas and people are actually attempting to improve those cultures.

I didn't downvote you, but your point was pretty silly.

Cars are not a localized consumer good.

I hear you, but my point in choosing something at the opposite end of the spectrum is that population is not a proper gauge.

The thread is about microbreweries and distilleries, neither of which are necessarily localized.

Yes and no. And I would agree that population is not the end-all be-all factor for this, but it's not completely irrelevant either.

Agree. But if there really are 20 in Ashville, it is not much of a factor at all.

If most of them are basically restaurants it is relevant because traffic is necessary for business.

If they are really microbreweries, population is nearly irrelevant.

Sweetwater is in a city of 6 million. Terrapin is in a city of 50,000.

Jack Daniels is in a town where the population of the whole county is 6,000.

And thank you for entering into an actual discussion like 2 guys at a brewpub.

I've never understood this about BR, guess it's that LSU fans base mentality.

It is in the works. Will be located in Beauregard. No link, I know the start up owner.


ETA - the plan is to have a brewery and have food/live music

Nice to hear. Best of luck to them.

Do you know if its an owner/brewer operation or if they are hiring an experienced professional brewer?

Whoever downvoted you is willfully ignorant. Nailed it. And it's not just BR, it's the state as a whole. If you really have a fantastic product and the wherewithal to make it happen, you'll find a way to navigate the shark-infested legal waters and realize a product.

Sounds like it... although it's not impossible to have a distribution brewery with a taproom that serves food.
