Local : Odells 90 Schilling Ale
Mountain Sun ESB

Non: Bear Republic Racer 5


No longer brewed: stone pale ale.

Bastards changed the recipe, and now call it pale ale 2.0. It's good, but the original pale was my favorite anywhere. I'd buy one every time I passed by Sydney's in Decatur.

Too many beers to list when pointing them out individually , but I enjoy just about everything that the Breweries below are coming up with

Local (Favorites):
Crafty Bastard (Knoxville)
Balter Beer works (Knoxville)
Schulz Brau (Knoxville)
Alliance (Knoxville)
Yee-Haw (Johnson City)

There are a lot more micro/nano breweries in East Tennessee, but those are my top 5 and the ones I would recommend to anyone visiting. All 5 crank out some truly quality beer.

Non-local:
Highland, Lagunitas, Oscar Blues, etc.

IMO parish is the best beer in la, followed by Nola

Wish we could get more of that, seems like all we get is your crappy Abita beer. Been trying to get my hands on some Ghost In The Machine. Found a place on Ambassador Caffrey that sells it (when its in and apparently it goes fast). Just have to beg my sis in Scott to go over and buy it and haul it back for me to Houston next time she comes.

I feel like Parish is ready to start expanding outside of LA. They recently moved to their new brewery/tap room. They are pretty much in every south la grocery store. I have talked to the growler place here trying to get them to start pushing for expansion to GA.

The issue is Abita is the old big dog on the block of the la breweries. Abita as far as taste wise is down my list of la breweries.

Parish, Nola, Great river raft brewing out of s-port, covington, then Abita and tin roof.

Not sure what craft beer is. I am guessing it has to be unpopular and obscure, so probably not. Shiner is about as crafty as I get.

If you ever get the chance, Boulevard's Tank 7 is downright great for a Saison. It has a higher ABV, and will get you where you're going in solid fashion.

I was their last month and it is still in the same location it has always been in.

They just expanded to North Louisiana.

You will be waiting awhile, the next move they make it going to be increasing production of certain beers. Right now Envie, Opus, Ghost, Hoptagon, and a few other beers are on a rotation because of their limited space. They did buy another building but they want to use some of that space to experiment with sours.
