NEW ORLEANS (press release) – The Mid-City Bayou Boogaloo is getting its own beer.
On Friday, April 19, Urban South Brewery will tap the first keg of Boogaloo Blonde in its taproom at 1645 Tchoupitoulas St. at noon, with $1.00 from each pint purchased throughout Easter weekend benefitting The Friends of Bayou St. John. The Boogaloo-centric brew will be available April 22 at bars, restaurants and retail locations throughout the city and also at the Mid-City Bayou Boogaloo May 17 – May 19.
Boogaloo Blonde was fermented with Kolsch yeast and a healthy dose of Mandarina Bavaria hops. Urban South’s Kyle Huling says, “You’ll find tons of citrus, apricot and a crisp clean finish making this a perfect partner while you’re floating on the bayou!” Boogaloo Blonde has an ABV of 5.3% and an IBU (bitterness level) of 20.
Mid-City Yacht Club, Pal’s and The Drifter Hotel are just a few of the Mid-City bars and restaurants that will serve Boogaloo Blonde in anticipation of the annual free festival that takes place each May on the banks of Bayou St. John.
The Urban South Brewery taproom opens to the public at 12pm on Fridays. At 3:00 p.m. that same afternoon, Friday, April 19, the brewery will host a crawfish party open to all.
