re: Go Woke Go Broke, Dixie Beer Edition

Dixie beer was a crap retread of a crap beer that went out of business in 2005, that no one missed.

People seem to be forgetting that Dixie Brewing was sold a couple of times in the early 80s, and went through chapter 11 in 1989. When it came out of reorganization in the early 90s, I believe this is when they moved out of the original building and changed the source of water from the Mississippi River to, Abita Springs (some North Shore water source). As crazy as it sounds, that's when the flavor of the beer went from 'passable if ice cold' to dog piss. Everything after that was a desperate attempt to profit off of the name, which all came to and end when they changed it.
