Pub Crawl

4.7% alcohol. 48 IBU. Brewed in Texas, by Saint Arnold Brewing Company.

"This crisp, sessionable Pale Ale is brewed with a combination of hops: Centennial hops at the beginning of the boil for bitterness, and Amarillo and Galaxy hops at the end for the bulk of the flavor and aroma. Two Row Pale and Maris Otter English Pale malts give the beer a slight color and tiny amount of sweetness. Golden naked oats malt lend a nutty, more full-bodied flavor, and the London III yeast accentuates the hop flavor and aroma."

Guinness Special Export (Antwerpen) Stout

8% alcohol. Introduced in 1944. Brewed in Ireland.

"Creamy and light in texture. Smooth with a gentle effervescence and warming mouth feel"

"Commissioned by the adventuring brewer John Martin in 1944, Guinness Special Export stout packs a punch befitting his Belgian brewery. 8% alcohol creates a strong body. Rich malty flavours combine with smoky roasted barley. Liquorice and butterscotch play supporting roles, along with molasses, hints of vanilla and dark fruit accents. An Irish stout with a continental edge."

Unfiltered Sculpin

7% alcohol. 68 IBU. Brewed in California, by Ballast Point (Constellation Brands).

"Our trophy beer, extra-hopped and unfiltered.

Our Unfiltered Sculpin IPA packs extra hops into every sip, enhancing the classic Sculpin notes of fresh apricot, peach, mango and lemon with a slight haze and less bitterness. Freshness is key to every beer, but especially true for this extra-hopped IPA—store cold and drink soon."

Slack Water Brown Ale

5.3% alcohol. Introduced in 2017. Brewed in Louisiana, by Port Orleans Brewing Company.

"Dark brown with airs of garnet, our medium-bodied beer drinks lighter than it looks. Slack Water starts with a nose of chocolate, coffee, and caramel and follows with a sweet flavor, a hint of fruit, and finishes clean quickly."

Andygator

8% alcohol. 25 IBU. Introduced in 1993. Brewed in Louisiana.

"Abita Andygator®, a creature of the swamp, is a unique, high-gravity brew made with pilsner malt, German lager yeast, and German Perle hops. Unlike other high-gravity brews, Andygator® is fermented to a dry finish with a slightly sweet flavor and subtle fruit aroma. Reaching an alcohol strength of 8% by volume, it is a Helles Doppelbock. You might find it goes well with fried foods. It pairs well with just about anything made with crawfish. Some like it with a robust sandwich. Andygator® is also a good aperitif and easily pairs with Gorgonzola and creamy blue cheeses. Because of the high alcohol content, be cautious — sip it for the most enjoyment."

Riverfront Lager

5% alcohol. Helles lager. Introduced in 2017. Brewed in Louisiana, by Port Orleans Brewing Company.

"Inspired by Munich’s famous biers, crafted with a distinct American sensibility, our golden lager starts with a fruity, peachy nose. A flavor moderately sweet with a soft malty character, Riverfront Lager finishes clean and dry with a subtle bitter kiss."

30° 90°

4.5% alcohol. 20 IBU. Introduced in 2017. Brewed in Louisiana.

"New Orleans is located at latitude 30° north, longitude 90° west. This is the most geographically accurate location of the finest food, music and round-the-clock good times on earth. Abita created 30° 90° to celebrate the way we love to live in New Orleans. This is a crisp gold lager that is brewed with pilsner malt and hopped and dry hopped with Cascade hops. It has a light body and color with a nice citrus hop aroma and flavor."

Drive Thru Red

7.2% alcohol. 42 IBU.

"Inspired by drives through California’s majestic redwoods, Drive Thru Red Dry Hopped Red Ale is a deep amber red ale with strong caramel undertones and a rich, malty finish. Thanks to the dry hopping (adding hops to the brewing kettles after fermentation), the beer delivers festive, herbal hop aromas, but not so much hop bitterness on the palate. It’s really well balanced and delightfully drinkable."

Pumpkin Down

5.8% alcohol. 22 IBU. Brewed in California, by Ballast Point Brewing Company (part of Constellation Brands).

"

SCOTTISH ALE WITH PUMPKIN

A pumpkin ale that bucks the trend.
Some might think we’re out of our gourd for making a pumpkin ale, but our Pumpkin Down is not like the others.  The caramel and toffee maltiness of our Piper Down Scottish ale is the perfect backdrop for a boatload of roasted pumpkin. Just before bottling, we add a subtle amount of spice to complement, but not overwhelm, the earthy flavor. It was a smash at the brewery, and we think you’ll agree.

Atomic Pumpkin

6.4% alcohol. 10 IBU. Introduced in 2017. Brewed by New Belgium.

"Enough with the run-of-the-mill pumpkin beers. I’m not interested in an ale that takes cues from a frozen coffee drink, and neither are you. That’s why I made Atomic Pumpkin. Does it really feature Habanero peppers? Yep! What about Saigon Cinnamon? Ding! I round it all out with a hearty malt bill that makes for a spicy brew that puts the “Fun” back in Pumpkin. (Spelling was never my strength). -- Voodoo Ranger."

Love Street

4.9% alcohol. 20 IBU. Brewed in Texas by Karbach Brewing Company.

"In the 1960's on Allen's Landing sat Love Street; a hot spot of music and social impact. The venue hosted eclectic characters ranging from open mic'ers to the Lizard King himself. Love Street was not only a place, but a state of mind. A place to unwind and let the music refresh your soul.

Likewise, Love Street is a state of mind. Brewed in the Kolsch-style and hopped delicately with floral German hops, this beer boasts a clean malt profile that refreshes to the core, without sacrificing character. So crack one open and find your own Love Street."
