Dinner lab was at Tin Roof earlier. FBD was a Parade Ground coffee porter.

ery much enjoyed nacht 2 over batch 1.
Its fun to watch/taste beers evolve. When I first discovered Sticky Hands, it had a BA rating of 4.12 (with about 50 reviews). I loved the beer and started including it in my BXN boxes. I thought the rating was way to low. Its now up to 4.36, and still rising,so I think think they just kept tweaking the recipe and it has gotten better over time.

Fbd-Sucks. This beer has changed so much in the few weeks it's been down here. Bought 3 or 4 packs and every day I drink one, it tastes different. Today had a burst of fruit in the taste and smell.

You don't have enough craft beer drinkers there. I drink most of my beers out, and I know the bartenders, but I usually don't run into many people I know. And I'm a social guy - I'm always talking to someone at the bar.
You sure do like to compare Portland and the NW to down here a lot. It's pretty much apples and oranges. Like Yeezy said New Olreans isn't a very big place, big city features and problems with a small town vibe. I will disagree with him however on Zwanze day, it's more of a regional event than a local event. Sure you still will get some of the regulars in there but it's nothing like a normal beer event.

Agreed, but usually in my comparisons I try to illustrate what Louisiana can be, because so many comments are negative the craft beer scene in LA. I usually T try to be more positive and offer suggestions, although I can see where that comment may be construed as negative. It doesn't have to be totaiiy apples and oranges.
I see places like CBD opening in BR that really seem to mirror places we have in Portland. Its happening down there. Maybe not as fast as you'd like. I think it takes more craft beer drinkers to create the demand for craft beer bars, but the reverse is true, too. More craft beer spots will help convert people into craft beer drinkers. Which came first, the craft beer, or the craft beer drinker?

Cantillon basically scheduled a wedding during football season with this one. Sure, I'd love to go. But LSU-Auburn takes precedence.

I get that. I don't know what your connection is to Louisiana but if get all of your info from this board you would be missing out on the big picture. Lots of great info and knowledgable people but it represents a very small number of what's taken place down here. Especially in New Orleans where craft beer is the trendy thing to do now. But this doesn't translate into every new brewery making super hoppy maven beers so you get a lot the negative comments.

I spent a good bit of my childhood in St. Francisville, and went to LSU. Ever since I had kids, I don't get back to Louisiana, except for an occasional football game. All of my family has moved out of state, although I still have friends in LA.
I don't see much going on in Portland that can't happen in LA. For lack of a better word, the beer density is very high in Portland. You don't have to drive far to find a brewery or a good taproom.
I don't know the landscape down there very well, but if I was opening a brewery, I would open it in LA, before I opened it in OR. There just seems to be a lot of opportunity in LA, the people that step forward and take the chance are going to take advantage of it. Repealing some archaic laws will probably happen at some point, right?

The scene here is still just a baby but has really boomed in the last year. Minus the politics it could be a very good opportunity. Six years ago we had no breweries in NO, which has a rich history of breweries, then one pops up with five employees and second hand equipment. Now today the place is a mini empire even with three competitors in town now with a fourth opening up right down the street. I'll basically have three breweries in my backyard and this is just in New Orleans. Add the northshore to this and that number doubles. Every time one of these places open more and more people become part of the craft beer scene.

This is also true. I see people questioning whether the market is saturated. Not even close. If you get more and more local breweries brewing good stuff, that's when you'll see Lagunitas and Oskar Blues aging on the shelves, as people will opt for fresh local options. LA is a long way from that point, but headed in the right direction.
It's amazing how much craft beer a region can absorb. Portland is crazy full of breweries, but Fat Heads, Ex Novo, Baerlic, and 10 Barrel all opened new breweries in the last year, and all are doing well. They do well because they make good beer and creating more craft beer drinkers.
One question I haven't asked: Why aren't there more brewpubs in LA? A brewpub can attract families and non-craft beer drinkers, because they serve good food. A tasting room or taproom kind of excludes the non-beer drinkers or teetotaler. Are there legal restrictions that keep this from happening?
