Tomorrow 08/20 the Brew Dogs episode that was filmed here with NOLA Brewing and Bayou Teche Brewing will be airing! Most of you know about the event because, well, you were there.
I have to admit the beer was not that great but the experience was awesome. Really great of these guys to pick New Orleans to be represented among all the great beer cities.
Here is a quick synopsis from Esquire:
In the NOLA episode of BREW DOGS, hosts James Watt and Martin Dickie create a New Orleans-inspired beer using local ingredients like Rose of Jericho (the "resurrection plant") and mayhaw fruit, brewed entirely on the back of a fan boat in the bayou. After a brief timeout from brewing to compete with Bayou Tech Brewing to see who can make the best craft beer pairings with local Cajun cuisine, the BREW DOGS then continue to the French Quarter to reveal their revival beer and convert a few local craft beer fans along the way.
I was lucky enough to see an advance screener for the show and will admit it was pretty awesome. Much better than the beer! I saw a lot of familiar faces in the show as well! Get ready cause if you were there you are probably in this episode!
Cheers!
