NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - The breweries in Southeast Louisiana are beginning to pour over, from large-scale production facilities to the more pint-sized shops, itâs a bustling scene of brews.
But a little more than 15 years ago, nearly all the breweries on the scene today didnât exist.
âThere were just no operating breweries after Katrina and this is very much a market that needed an influx of beer,â Patrick Brown, owner of 504 Craft Beer Reserve, said.
Parish Brewing Co. s version of the beer is called the Black is Beautiful Dessert Stout. Our Black is Beautiful stout is both bold and decadent. We rested the massive base on smooth, Ugandan vanilla beans before dousing it with French Artisan caramel syrup and sprinkling with flaked sea salt. Aromas of salted caramel lattes greet the nose with hints of crème brulée on the palate, the website states.
Zony Mash Beer Project s incarnation is brewed with 150 pounds of Cafe Reconcile s Sweet Potato Crumble making this a deliciously thick beer, according to its website.
As a caveat of joining the initiative, breweries taking part pledged to donate a portion of the sales to groups dedicated to the initiative.
