Best Place for Beer In New Orleans

Next week, on Sept. 7, is National Beer Lovers Day and New Orleans is the perfect spot for beer lovers. This week, the editors share their favorite places to grab a pint with friends.

Bayou Beer Garden

“I’m not exactly the best to ask about beer, but I love this spot in Mid-City. It has everything you need… like a courtyard that connects to Bayou Wine Garden ;).”

-Kelly Massicot, Digital Editor

The Courtyard Brewery

“I love Courtyard Brewing because it’s small and homey. Like hanging at your Beer Friend’s house. Also they carry Busty Lush NA beer, which is amazing. Of the larger breweries, I’m about Urban South, especially since it started brewing its own NA.”

-Melanie Warner Spencer, Editor New Orleans Homes/New Orleans Bride

Port Orleans Brewing Co.

-Rich Collins, Editor New Orleans 500

Second Line Brewing

“Second Line Brewing in Mid-City is my go-to neighborhood craft brewing company. I also love to get together with friends at Zony Mash to catch a movie screening or trivia.”

-Ashley McLellan, Editor New Orleans Magazine

Zony Mash Beer Project

-Andy Myer, Editor St. Charles Avenue
