    Dang I really liked Cajun Brewing wit and Helle’s. Their Hefeweizen was really good also. I will miss them.

    Probably because a Cajun Brewing beer in most restaurants in town was $8+. At Pete’s it was like $9. Insanity.

    I will say this though.. Cajun Wit was and will remain one my favorite beers of all time. That’s not hyperbole or local bias. That beer was outstanding.

    You could buy a six pack for almost what they charged for a pint in a restaurant

    Yeah, that sucks. It seemed like their distribution footprint had grown substantially in the last year or so.

    They have a really clean facility that Im sure was not cheap to setup. Supposedly all of their equipment is already listed for sale.

    I agree, Cajun Wit is a damn good beer! I’m sad to hear this 😔

    Slacking was right.

    Note from this Summer: July 21st is late to start the Summer Beer Thread.

    To late to keep your favorite local brewery in business.

    Note for next Summer: Need beer thread in June.

    Haven't spoken with any of the ownership in about a year but I'll give you my insight. They had a very nice and fairly large setup. When I toured the brewery I told them they had a problem and I said you aren't making enough beer with all this equipment. They said "yeah we know". The bottling line also reeked havoc on them at the outset.

    Most importantly though I don't believe they ever got to the point of being able to brew enough commercially viable beer. They could run small batches for their in house operations but seemed to have issues scaling up for full production runs. It isn't a linear process and there is a reason that some of the best brewers have a degree in brewing sciences or chemical engineering.

    Like I said though I don't know for certain what has caused them to close but they will be missed. Louisiana lags behind many other states in the brewing business and we can't afford to lose any of them.

    Is this a new one? I'm not a huge IPA fan either but I like most/all of Parish's (New England) IPAs. Only thing I do not like is the price. But its simple economics right?

    I think its their newest. Same IPA base as Bloom but finished on tropical fruit. You can tell! Lots of pineapple and grapefruit. This and Jucifer from Gnarly Barley are the only IPAs I've tried that I really like.

    Ghost is probably my favorite IPA. Jucifer is a close 2nd. Since Jucifer is in a can, I make sure I have at least 1 in my ice chest before each game.
