Yeah, i got downvoted because i said i was going to start making charcuterie and bacon.


Wasn't me. I want to try it when you are done.

And if you ever want to commercially produce your beer - I'd invest and know a few others that would as well.

But did anyone confirm if this kangaroo council ever even bring this up for a vote?

The Alchemist is in a little town of just over 5,000 people.

Same town also has Ben & Jerry's, Cabot Creamery cheeses, and Green Mountain coffee.

Not sure population is really the driving force behind where a brewery would be set up.

Arnaudville is under 1500, and Bayou Teche is still doing well there.

Yep, and I'm shocked that it was unanimous.

Nice.

I don't know much about commercial brewing, but if any of you guys are looking to start a brewery in LA, and are considering hiring a brewer from Oregon, I will be glad to go taste his/her beer for you.

Surprising vote as well from a normally dysfunctional group.

Hipsters will start migrating here like Woodstock or Haight Ashbury now.

Well they haven't passed that "gay tolerance" ordinance yet so maybe just Woodstock.

That will come. Eventually, you'll have a "Keep Baton Rouge, Weird" bumper sticker on your car, you'll be riding in the "naked bike ride", and you'll have vegan strip clubs...

No thanks, if you're going to give me fake chicken I'd rather it be wings than strips.

That is shocking considering not that long ago they were scared to ditch the blue laws (If I remember it was only past because a few council types were lame ducks at that point).
