That’s a long list for us.

It really isn’t for Louisiana though. We don’t have that many craft breweries and most that we do have are slightly above average. Parish and Urban South would be the only two who I’d say make great beers that could compete with the heavyweights out West and on the East Coast. New Orleans is the only place in the state with an actual craft beer scene where I’ve seen new breweries pop up and older breweries working to make better beers due to increased competition in the area. As a frame of reference western North Carolina has like 4 times as many breweries as the entire state of Louisiana. Comparing craft breweries with some of our conference mates may be a losing effort as we would likely only beat out Arkansas and maybe South Carolina in that arena, we would be fighting neck and neck with Alabama, and would get whipped handily by Texas, NC, and Georgia.

Parish
Bayou Teche
Gnarled Barley
Urban South
Tin Roof
Abita

All offer some really good beers.

Parish is one of my go-to's available here in South MS. The DDH version of Ghost in the Machine they do once in a while is outstanding. I'm a big fan of Dr. Juice as well. Hopefully we get into the SBC so I have a really good reason to go to Broussard to visit Parish.
