Envie, Opus, and GitM. Great lineup by parish. They have a coffee stout called Reve at the taproom which is amazing.

I have a 4 year old bottle thanks to a guy that works there dating my step daughter. I'm saving it for a legit d1 win in football( Georgia , boise, etc or trip to OMAHA .

A 4 year old bottle of Ghost??

I love beer. I drink cheap beer, dark beer, light beer, expensive beer, I've even put down a sour on a beer tour and a beer named Raspberry ____ Show in Seattle. I just don't like IPAs. I think they all taste the same and I think microbreweries make them because they can throw a bunch of hops in there and it'll last forever and they can call it an IPA.

I wish more microbreweries would get creative with other types of Pale Ales or just anything else in general but an India Pale Ale.

Have you tried Ghost in the Machine from Parish?

Parish's new Opus Vert is a pretty good IPA as well. The first batch was only sold at the brewery but is supposed to become a regular

My neighbor is a brewmaster at Parish. he keeps it all stocked in his fridge. I had Ghost and Opus side by side. My untrained palette.... I'll take Ghost always... IMHO!

Sorry boys, if you can beat this I wanna know about it.

I think their Grand Reserve is a better beer. Too much grapefruit in Ghost. BUT Ghost is a GOOD beer!!

If you go eat at BJ's...try the Tatanka Stout...best beer you'll find in a restaurant in Lafayette.

Eel River Triple Exultation
Clown Shoes--Porcine Unidragon, Vampire Slayer, and Flight of the Pimp (One time deal) are some of the best.

This man speaks truth. I was actually impressed with a few of their selections.

Just started getting into the IPAs a few months ago. By far my favorite is Ghost. Gnarley Barley's Big DIPA is another one I enjoyed.

Flight of the Pimp tasting....if you can get past the guy with ear problems...its pretty good info.

Ever tried Goose Island? It's sold at the Tigue. I tried it after the Ragin Cajun developed a bit of a funky butt smell. Not as hoppy as other IPA's. Easy to drink.

Squatters Hops Rising is a great DIPA for IPA fans. I tried a hefeweizen by König Ludwig Weiss (had to look that spelling up) recently and that was my jam.
