[Layne]

I live in St. Amant
i belong to Redstick brewmasters in Baton Rouge, and have bben to several meetings with Brasseurs a la Masion club. Two good groups of brewers.
It's good to see a few ascension brewers are out there.

If you guys don't know, there is the Zapps beer festival this saturday in Baton rouge. A good chance to taste good home brews from both clubs, as well as lots of commercial stuff.

Layne,
Not going to be able make the Zapp's fest like I had hoped but I can only imagine how that belgian quad is going to taste.. I wanted to consume the entire batch the day you brewed it.. Before you pitched the yeast! :cross:

 

[Layne]

LOL, I didn't know that was you. I should have figured from the name.
OH well, with some luck, I'll have some left. I'll let you know.

 

[bayoujeeper]

Ha.. yeah the name gave it away.
Well the weekend is not a total loss, it looks like I will be able to brew the Irish Red at some point this weekend. Grains came in yesterday.

 

[Layne]

Cool. Thats a great beer to brew/drink.

 

[b-rad1108]

I'm here in Mandeville. Been brewing about 2 years now.

There are butt loads of homebrewers here in the NOLA area. The Crescent City Homebrewers are pretty active and brew at least one big batch a month as a club. I think now that the weather is warming up the brew schedule may slow down a bit but plenty will be drank.

 

[Guidry]

Gotta butt load up here in BR also. A total of 3 clubs in town now.

 

[btamacker]

Checking in from Thibodaux! Just started brewing about a year ago, looking at going from partial to all grain brewing.

 

[tryals15]

We are active with over twenty members showing up at our monthy meetings and twice that on the rolls.

 

[Beer_me_plz]

Shreveport here too. Looking for a local club to join. Been brewing/making wine for about 4 years. Wanna share some homebrews with people who actually appreciate them! Pm me with any club info. Thanks.

Hi, I'm a Monroe Brewer also. I live out in the Parish, out towards Prairie Road. I have been doing extract brewing. Working on a brew table. My goal is to make a HERMS, running low on cash at the moment. I am interested to see what you local Monroe brewers are doing.

 

[DottyParka]

Just starting out here in Baton Rouge, Highland/Perkins area. Really looking forward to quaffing my first batch of Oktoberfest in about a month!

I have had a busy brewing summer. I've slowed down a bit in the last month. I was brewing every weekend but now I'm brewing about twice a month. I made the switch to All Grain about 2 months ago and am now on my 5th AG batch. Its really every bit as easy as extract only the ingredients are less expensive. I currently have an oatmeal stout in primary and a Stone Clone IPA, and Octoberfast Ale in secondary. Will be placing an order for my next brew today. I'm looking at making the Hobgoblin Clone and an amber that I've been tweaking with each batch x 3.

Shreveport now has a homebrew supply store! Woo Hoo!
(Brewniverse, next to Superior steakhouse. Check it out)

 

[Flyingbear]

Just saw Brewniverse last night! It was closed but I was looking inside like a kid at a toy store... I'll try to survey the scene and get a read on what all they have. Initially I saw some box kits and a bunch of shelves of Louisiana and other craft beer. It'll be nice to have something local!

Edit: apparently there's this thing called the Internet... Decent selection!
