Our goal is to bring great craft beer to Louisiana. Louisiana will always come first




Oregon is pretty high on the list after that, right?

I think Commotion will kick arse in LC.

If I had my way, the next market would be Barbados. Great Raft would be a perfect fit for the islands.

Ross, not going to lie I didn't like Commotion or Southern Drawl when they first came out. I've bought some more Commotion the last 2-3 months and found that I really enjoy it now as much as Corrupt and the other darker beers. Actually been drinking mostly Commotion the last 2 months as it seems to be much better than I remember the first runs.

The recipe was changed in March and has been consistent and rocking ever since. Come and see me, it rocks even more on tap.

did goat raft really beat parish to Chuck?


Parish has been in LC for a while now, at least a year. Hokus Pokus has it.

That's sort of bootleg Parish. My understanding is they order it for the Prairieville store and then transfer it to LC. I almost never buy because it's rarely fresh. Will be nice to have it consistently (and on draft).

Do you know how long it takes for beer to get from Prairrieville store to LC? I imagine they aren't just sitting on it for months...If it's just a week or so later, then it shouldn't make that much of a difference.

You really think Lake Charles is a market for great beer? Bud light and Winstons maybe but not great beer.


Lake Chuck craft market has exploded in the last year or so. Have you been there lately? There's a big influx of people as well as new beers. Hell the Market Basket in my old neighborhood sold Founders and Southern Tier.
Ross I'm looking forward to trying some of y'all's beer next time I'm home. Good luck

we will have our beer map updated later this week and we keep it updated bimonthly.

Enjoy! Commotion on tap with a Darrells special was pretty amazing.
