Crooked Letter Brewing Company, Ocean Springs, MS This variant spelling of the Roma people and their infamous vardo-pulling horses, full of flash and fortitude, inspired our take on this classic style. We can relate to the lifestyle of travelling and music! This well balanced, full-bodied American Indian Pale Ale treats your palate to a fusion…

Urban South Holy Roller IPA
Urban South Brewery, New Orleans, LA Brewed with Mosaic and Citra hops – a bold IPA for all of us caught between best intentions and bad behavior. 6.3% ABV The Holy Roller IPA is a hazy golden color. It smells very hoppy. Lots of Citra hops on the nose. This tastes VERY bitter – but…
Abita Golden
Abrita Brewing Company, Abita Springs, LA 4.2% ABV Clear golden in color with a malty sweet nose and reminiscent of Belgian funk. Like a very light Duvel crossed with a White Ale. Our standard for a Golden Ale is Duvel and this is too much like a White. It is fine: just unremarkable for a…
Mudbug White Boot Blonde Ale
Mudbug Brewery, Thibodaux, LA Kick back. Knock off. “Swamp sneakers.” “Dulac Slippers.” “Breaux Bridge Pumps.” A pair of white rubber boots goes by many names in Louisiana. From the boat to the festival and everything in between, shrimpers and fisherman swear by them; Cajuns live by them. Here’s to the hard workers and life’s enjoyers….
Abita Blueberry Wheat
Abita Brewing Company, Abita Springs, LA This crisp wheat beer has the aroma and flavor of fresh Louisiana blueberries. It’s brewed with pilsner and wheat malts and hopped with German Perle hops, then the sweet juice from local blueberries is added to complement the toasty malt flavor. All our harvest Series brews are made with…
SweetWater Blue
SweetWater Brewing Company, Atlanta, GA SweetWater Blue is a unique light bodied wheat ale laced with natural blueberry flavor. This euphoric experience begins with a subtle blueberry aroma and finishes surreptitiously clean — that’s right! 4.6% ABV Clear golden amber in color with a strong nose of blueberries (surprise!). Very light on the palate with…
Terrapin Hi-5 IPA
Terrapin Beer Company, Athens, GA 5.9% ABV Like a memorable adventure along US Route 101, “Hi-5” California Style IPA leads you down a road of pure adrenaline and beauty. Capturing the majestic flavor of citrussy hops that roll off your tongue like a white cap on an ocean wave, this scenic wonder will keep you…
Terrapin Hopsecutioner IPA
Terrapin Beer Company, Athens, GA Are six varieties of hops in a beer enough to lose your hophead over? We at Terrapin think so. To prove it, we’ve made our HOPSECUTIONER IPA with the choicest buds we could find. We hope you enjoy this… KILLER IPA! 7.3% ABV This IPA is hazy golden/amber with a…
Second Line Brewing
433 N Bernadotte St., New Orleans, LA We went to Second Line Brewing on a Saturday and each had the Pale Ale and the West Coast Style IPA. The Pale Ale was very good – malty, refreshing, a great example of a pale ale. The IPA was also great – it definitely was West Coast…
Bayou Teche Dark Roasted Ale
Bayou Teche Brewing, Arnaudville, LA 5.2% ABV Very dark brown in color with a nose of, surprise, roasted malt and a touch of coffee. Tastes like a light version of a stout. Has a bit of sweetness and a burnt aftertaste which don’t mesh well together. If we want a dark beer we will reach…
Bayou Teche Ragin’ Cajuns Ale
Bayou Teche Brewing, Arnaudville, LA 4.8% ABV Hazy gold in color with a funky malt nose. Large Marge contends that it smells like skanky crawfish boil water à la Abita Louisiana Spiced Ale. Not much to this beer. Basically tastes like carbonated water flavored with grain. Would we have it again? Nope https://bayoutechebrewing.com/our-beers/ragin-cajuns-genuine-louisiana-ale/
Tin Roof Blonde
Tin Roof Company, Baton Rouge, LA 4.5% ABV Blonde is a hazy, light gold color. It has a Belgian-y nose, with some malt. It is lager-like, tasting light, but with strong carbonation. There is really not much to it. We assume it’s a popular tailgate beer. Would we have it again? Nope. http://www.tinroofbeer.com/brews/
so hoppy together
