Here are a couple newbies in the Baton Rouge scene for American Craft Beer Week.
I've always tried to make the tone of these things more about the love of beer and the enjoyment of it versus pure beer snobbery (which sucks), and also because its always fun to highlight good local products. And Baton Rouge picked up their second craft brew outlet recently when Southern Craft Brewing launched a few weeks back. They're a pretty small outlet on Airline Hwy near the Kleinpeter Dairy, but they have two early offerings on tap that you can find at most of the Baton Rouge craft outlets -- Chimes, Corporate Brew & Draft, the Bulldog, etc.
