Someone school me on this. How prevalent are the double dry hopped beers in the rest of the country? Is this something we are just catching up or are we starting a trend down here. I guess a more broad trend would be the hop selection that a lot of places down here are beginning to use for their beer.

Maybe it just seems this way to me because we are finally coming along as a craft beer destination. I'm excited about the growth we've seen over the last several years.

But is it a sweep all over the country or no? I think it would be neat to start having a conversation about IPA's and start including "Gulf Coast" style in addition to West Coast and East Coast. We could become special

Down here they brew those non West coast ipa's for west coast palettes.

We aren't developing our own genre of beer no. Although I think Parish has aspirations to be the BMC of the entire South one day with their new "lager" Parish whenever it comes out.

If you look at breweries per capita and correlate that number with above average IPAs, then yes, Louisiana could be considered the Vermont of the South.

I still think this has something to do with why there are more breweries up coastal-north(s)

Google "NEIPA"

I hear 2x Beechwood aging is the next big thing.

Portland Maine has more breweries per capita than Portland Oregon.

You get elite hops in New Orleans year round

Urban South Architect series
NOLA 00 series
Parish all hoppy beers
Gnarly Barley all IPAs
Courtyard seasonal and flagship IPAs

no lines, no hassle, just good beer available 24/7

There are many beers brewed in Louisiana that I would put up against the best in the country and not be ashamed of the results.

Louisiana Hops is like LSU being called NFLU...we may not brew many of em, but we have more of em per capita

If the style is like Jockamo, y'all can keep that shite to yourselves.

The shite we have now is leaps and bounds above that Abita POS. I think some of our beers can match up with the best around the country.

You can pretty much disregard this guy's posts because he has a vested interested in the beer scene locally and as such can't be considered objective.

In regards to the OP, the answer is no. Louisiana is definitely behind the curve in regards to craft beer. That doesn't mean good things aren't happening. The growth is real. But it's nothing revolutionary that could be considered unique.

No, LA is just jumping on the trend of the hazy, juicy, back-end hopped NEIPA.

We do have several breweries that are doing it very well, but it's by no means its own category or trendsetting.

I wouldn't say many.

But I will say that Envie is amongst my personal Top 3 of pale ales.

I like the DHH versions, but have always preferred Envie 2.0, aka T-GOAT.
