That's something I was told they were fixing, to add more room and having more workers to opening all sides to get beer

I haven't been to TR in about 10 years.
It was a dump back then, I imagine they haven't put any money in it to upgrade in that time, so I can only imagine what the building is like now?

over saturation of IPA’s
This needs to stop. Fricking IPAs crowding out all the other types in the store. I don't mind them every once in awhile, but geez....can we slow down with the IPA's.
As far as the craft market, I always like trying locals or moderate size companies. In the summer I buy standard beers to have at the pool, Landshark and other island lagers and cervezas. But for hanging in the house and watching TV, I go for craft stuff.

One local brewery in particular, Parish, was very smart in their expansion efforts. Andrew did not branch out quickly and recklessly, but forecasted the market and saw what was coming. I'd bet that they are doing well financially and do not have to worry about this new beer market.
Parish seemed to have a solid growth plan from the start. They didn't just get into the craft beer business and start brewing every style under the sun and putting it to market.
It seemed to be a slow growth strategy, from what I remember. They built a loyal local following with Canebrake and then once Canebrake started to take off, they increased distribution and then started playing around with some other styles.
I remember when they first hit the market in New Orleans and the only options at store were Canebrake, Envie, and South Coast in 6 pack bottles and then every now and then you'd get a seasonal option in a bomber like Dr. Hoptagon or Ghost in the Machine.

I wonder how the market is for new offerings now? Me personally, I have several kind that I’ll get when out and almost don’t even see the rest. And I don’t try new ones as much because it’s not worth it unless it’s at the actual brewery and I’m there anyway.
Was recently at Saint X killing time and tried Gator Boots, which was quite good. The other two golden feather and electric mayhem, I didn’t care for.
IMO over saturation is an issue but I also don’t like most of the new offerings I try.

Yep, Andrew told me a while back he was the sole owner of Parish and the company was 100% debt free, they are rolling because he did it correctly. He told me this before they purchased that new piece of land, so not sure if they still debt free but his plans for that land is pretty nice.
Yep, he was pretty risk averse for a long time until he built up and established demand into a regional brand
It took a long time for them to add a canning line and add production capacity.
Other breweries with larger facilities have come and gone during the time parish has been around

Because to get the average beer drinker in Louisiana at that time who was used to pounding BMC and the occasional Abita Amber buying your beers so you can make money, you needed something easy and approachable like Canebrake and South Coast. Those were then able to bring in a steady cash flow while Andrew then experiment to make GOAT in da Machine.
At least that’s my non-brewer opinion looking at just trying to get a business to catch on and be supported. Don’t know Andrew. Never talked with him. So don’t know if that truly was the way he drew it up.

Canebrake was a great beer.

One thing I never understood about Tin Roof was why they didn't have more family nights. They would do once a month with food truck (until they bought their own) and inflatables, balloon animals, face paint, and it was always a good turn out. If they did that weekly instead of monthly it certainly would have brought in more money
They likely wouldn’t have gotten the same turnouts when doing it every week.

He just capitalized on being able to brew the same beer and repackage it regularly and have people go crazy over the hype lol

It’s clear from reading some of these posts, this has been a great discussion btw, that people don’t understand how undesirable the LSU area is for a business. Just go down Chimes St. These businesses are ghost towns. This includes the Chimes. Tin Roof made inconsistent beer. They lasted wayyyyyy longer than they should. Beer is in trouble because even “cheap” beer isn’t as cheap as it used to be. Beer used to be the gateway drink for everyone because friends could split a couple of cases for $20. Restaurants are now selling domestic beer for $5 a bottle. The average consumer can’t afford to drink beer any longer

This is probably their biggest issue. Beer snobs (like myself) stopped going because they just can't put out a consistent product. There are also a LOT of variations of different beers that don't stick around. Lots of different brewmasters either trying to carrying what was done, trying to do something radically new, or both. I will pay $16 for a Parish four pack of something I enjoy because I don't feel the need to pound them down and they are usually pretty damn good AND different than other beers. Voodoo was my gateway beer to pale ales and I thank Tin Roof for it, but again the inconsistency happened all too often.
This isn't a problem exclusive to Baton Rouge. I can name a handful of craft breweries that I enjoy and notice subtle differences that make them stand out. The problem everyone is facing that almost every single beer tastes the same. One IPA at one microbrewery states the same at 90% of them.

I’m confused. Are they closing the brewery and selling the intellectual property? Or maintaining operations under new ownership?
Didn’t their Brewmaster leave in 2018? I feel that was a pivotal moment in TR and one they never recovered from.
It’s a shame because their food truck was pretty good and some of the bartenders were cool

Bayou Teche in Arnaudville appears to have killed it with pizzas and atmosphere. You can't find their beers on the store shelves anymore.
It was just sitting there collecting dust when it was in stores.

Parish, Urban South, Gnarly Barley, Bayou Teche, and this is just what I can come up with locally.

Doesn’t sound like any of us know.
