HL Does NOLA from A to Z: N is for NOLA BREWING COMPANY

In this case, the NOLA stands for New Orleans Lager and Ale, rather than the usual New Orleans, La. At one time, New Orleans was a beer-brewing town. But following Hurricane Katrina, the final brewing operation (Dixie) outsourced its operation to Wisconsin. That didn’t sit well with Kirk Coco, a U.S. Navy veteran and native New Orleanian. Kirk contacted longtime Dixie brewmaster Peter Caddoo . . . and NOLA beer was born. Today NOLA Brewing Company operates from a bright red building on Tchoupitoulas Street just steps away from where I live in the Irish Channel, which is pretty convenient for my humans.
The Tap Room is open every day from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., with a second-floor deck overlooking the Mississippi River and operations at the Port of New Orleans. While you’re sipping on that NOLA beer, enjoy a little taste of McClure’s BBQ, which operates in the Tap Room. And why not take a tour of the brewery. Tours are offered Saturdays from 2 to 3 p.m. and Sundays from 2 to 4 p.m. . . . but check the NOLA Brewing Company website because sometimes tours are canceled for big New Orleans events like Jazz Fest. So here’s to NOLA Brewing Company, which blazed the trail to bring beer brewing back to the Big Easy. Cheers!

I love their logo. ♥
It is really pretty . . . especially with a Golden Retriever in front of it. 🙂
I hope the upstairs deck is dog friendly. BBQ sounds yummy!
Love and licks,

Sad to say that the upstairs deck is not dog friendly. What is it with humans? We’re cleaner (and in many cases better behaved) than they are!
I’m guessing they don’t make a special beer for dogs?
If they only knew how crazy dogs’ humans are when it comes to buying things for their pets, I’m sure they’d start brewing that dog beer tomorrow!
That looks like my kind of place!

Come on down!
If I ever make it across the pond again from the UK I’d love to go here.
I definitely hope that you do make it. My humans will try to leave a bit of beer for you. 😉
I found your blog through the A to Z Challenge and I’m really glad I did. Great Post!
Thank you so much! We’re a bit behind on reading and responding to A to Z Challenge blogs (obviously), but we’ll get there!
New follower from the A-Z challenge and I think I’m in love…I have a black lab and am just an all around dog/cat/animal LOVER. Adorable photos.
