    Lafayette has always had the music in its blood. nice to see a brewery keeping that tradition going instead of just slapping on a TV and calling it a night lol

    I love Adopted Dog Brewing but parking around there on live music nights is a whole thing. went last month and circled the driveway like three times before sqeezing into an open spot.
