Go forth and taste grandly!

The local’s night at the Avenue Pub was a lot of fun. A bunch of the brewers were there and I especially enjoyed the double dry hopped Catahoula Common by Gnarly Barley. Also the Off the Tracks and (to my surprise) the 40 Arpent stout on cask with ginger and wasabi. The crowd was lively but friendly and although the beer professionals in attendance seemed pretty weary from their week, they were awesome.

OK, for today, this is important – the Avenue Pub Grand Tasting actually starts at 1pm, not 3pm as previously reported. In fact, there’s a bunch of stuff on tap right now that’s available downstairs, so… no need to wait, get on out there!

Also happening – Meet The Brewers at Red White & Brew out in Hammond with the folks from Gnarly Barley, Chafunkta, Covington, Parish, and Old Rail in attendance, and they’ll be tapping their beers all through the day. Barley Oak is also having its Grand Tasting in Mandeville.
