So this Founders Breakfast Stout is the last beer of my American Craft Beer Week this year. But it shouldn’t end there. Every week is craft beer week for me, and it should be for you as well. Support your local craft breweries, or any hand crafted beer either here in the US or internationally. I got to enjoy many great craft beers this ...

Another successful ACBW in the books. Avenue Pub had a 16% increase (in either volume or sales, I'm not sure) over last year. Lots of events, lots of beer, lots of breweries, lots of fun. I'm a bit fried. So here are some other people's brainthoughts. A very big THANK YOU to everyone who came out to our launch party/rolling out/ ...

Variety of beer from Local's Night at the Avenue Pub 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 ...

So this box hit my porch today. I’ll just let the picture speak for itself.

It’s been a busy week here in South Louisiana celebrating American Craft Beer Week. Good to see some of you out and about this week drinking some great hand crafted beer and supporting the businesses who are serving them. I had a great time last night at both The Pelican House and The Cove trying out Tin Roof’s Oak Street coffee por ...

Ommegang seasonal at Coquette Almost at the end of ACBW, hope everyone is holding up OK! Yesterday afternoon/evening was gorgeous in New Orleans and today is shaping up to be the same. I'm heading over to the Avenue Pub to drink some of the newer, smaller, local breweries' beer this afternoon - hey, did y'all know that the Avenue balcony op ...

Me at the Avenue during ACBW 2010. We moved to New Orleans that week. Which is why I look exhausted and why I have band-aids on my fingers - because I broke a dish while unpacking it. I thought I'd be all up in the middle of ACBW this year, having turned pro with the beer writing, but it turns out, I'm too busy actually writing about beer t ...

We’re halfway through American Craft Beer Week, and I hope all of you have been supporting your local craft breweries and local businesses so far this week. I know I have. Here are the highlights for Thursday in south Louisiana. The Avenue Pub in New Orleans is having Hop Head Night. See below: Thursday May 15: Hop Head Night &ndash ...

Tin Roof Brewing‘s summer seasonal has arrived. The Watermelon Wheat is a seriously quaffable summer brew with a hint of watermelon that goes really well with outdoor activities here in south Louisiana. And the official release is this evening at The Bulldog in Baton Rouge, starting at 6PM. There you’ll be able to get it on draft, a ...

The newest Louisiana craft brewery made its long awaited debut last Friday, and is busy with a number of rollout events during American Craft Beer Week. Hammond’s Gnarly Barley unveiled their Catahoula Common late last week in a hometown event at the Red, White & Brew. This week, fans on the Northshore and New Orleans will be abl ...
