They renovated a property dating from 1772 to build this place. These are all pretty good beers...the Pilsner and the Weiss (and my knowledge of the styles) improved tremendously in the ten years between my visits. Brewery downstairs behind the bar, fermenters upstairs immediately above. Live music in the corner by the entrance...typical New Orleans. Big place. Lots of seating upstairs and downstairs.

Now this is a copper-colored beer. Actually, it's a bit darker than that. Chocolate malt aroma. Very nice indeed. Porter body with lager flavors. Warming, but alcohol not evident in flavor. Outstanding beer. Blows the others away.

Pale golden, high carbonation. Thick head. Fruity, spicy hop aroma. Light body. Real nice clean maltiness. Moderate noble hop flavor with a pretty tasty bitterness. -

Light yellow, but not too light. Strong hop aroma. They claim "flowery bouquet", but I'd use the word "bitter" instead. Very good body. Carbonation just a little light. Very bitter...definitely too bitter.
