Going the way of Hubig's.

In what way?

Hubig’s 1st death was by a fire. Fun fact where the brewery is located there was a huge distribution center for MacFrugals that caught fire in 1996. The building sat mostly vacant after the fire until another alcohol distributor moved into a subdivided part. And then Dixie moved in creating the beer garden on another part.

Hubig’s second death is going to be on quality and lack of interest in over priced pies. I bought some this week. I was disappointed in the size for the price and the dough was too thick.

Rouses sells J&J pies for 79 cents. The are comparable to Hubig’s and are larger and cheaper. They also have a larger variety.

I hope they wash their hands in between tasks there.

Wasn’t that gay woke beer anyway?

That whole series of events was a clown world. How dumb do you have to be to buy a blue collar beer brand then re brand it with a completely different name to support the woke people that don't even drink beer.

Woke hipsters drink beer, but most of them drink that swill called Pabst Blue Ribbon----------if you can call that stuff beer.

Go woke, go AINT DERE NO MORE!! ya frickin love to see it.

The beer sucked.

The earlier beer had varied greatly over time, but the reboot product was a pretty good rice finished beer which was an honest attempt to faithfully return Dixie to its tradition.

The only thing going for it was the name and it’s history.

---

That name and tradition were a large part of the interest, but it was a good beer - especially with seafood. Benson's version of Dixie was better than much of the old versions as it was far more consistently well made. Some people just might not like that style of beer, but it was a well made beer.

When Tom Benson bought it, and changed the name, it became worthless on every level

---

I suspect that he had nothing to do with the name change as he died in 2018 and the brewery announced this decision in late 2020. It was his stated goal to bring the best of Dixie back to New Orleanians who were missing that iconic product and he succeeded completely in doing exactly that by going all out with building a high quality brewery.

Tom Benson ruined everything he touched

While I might not be a fan of some things, I doubt that your comment is appropriate. We should take the trouble to be accurate, honest and fair in making comments.

If I recall Rita renamed it after Tom's death. Tom was a hig fan of the Dixie brand. Everything Tom touched has been turned to shite by Rita....frick her

Im no fan of Rita, but I thought it was Gayle Benson that owned the brewery and renamed it...
