Louisiana’s Brewery Trail

Visit the brewery, then dine at the nearby Abita Brew Pub. From late spring through summer, order the Strawberry Harvest Lager made with sweet, local strawberries.

This brewery draws from its surroundings, south Louisiana’s Cajun Country, to produce beers that pair happily with regional cuisine. Visit when concerts or food trucks are on-site.

In addition to house-made ales and stouts, Broken Wheel Brewery serves up Cajun favorites in its on-site restaurant, Bistreaux. Select something savory to pair with a delicious craft brew.

Chafunkta’s Voo Ka Ray IPA tames the heat of Louisiana’s spicier dishes. Don’t miss the brewery’s “Free Tour Fridays.”

After strolling New Orleans' French Quarter, stop in this historic Creole townhouse for house-made beer and fresh, raw oysters.

Report to this historic firehouse-turned-taproom to sample one of Louisiana’s only locally made Milk Stouts.

Visit for a souvenir pint glass and samples of Catahoula Common, a lager that’s light and mildly fruity — perfect for a warm Louisiana day.

Food trucks are always on site when this brewery’s open. Pair a snack or meal with a Southern Drawl Pale Lager.

The citrus- and floral-tinged NOLA Blonde Ale is always in season. To sample the Hurricane Saison, visit in summer when the ale’s hops and malts mix up this refreshing treat.

At this brewpub, enjoy local specialties such as speckled trout with your beer. Flavorful selections include Zest Fest Blood Orange Black IPA, made with Louisiana citrus.

Order Canebrake at this tap room.  Brewed with Steen’s Cane Syrup crafted in nearby Abbeville, this wheat ale nicely balances bitter and sweet tastes.

Red River brews with the state’s must-eats in mind. Order a malty Blonde Bomber with a fried seafood po' boy.

Check their calendar to catch a tour with the brewmaster. Seasonal brews such as Watermelon Wheat showcase local ingredients.
