Did You Know?



The first brewery to operate in New Orleans was the Brasserie which opened in 1726. Owned by Pierre Dreux and his brother Mathurin, it was located in the Bywater section of New Orleans.

In 1728, Mathurin Dreux brought suit in Nouvelle Orleans Supreme Council against a M.Decour for non payment regarding 132 livres of beer which Dreux provided. M. Detour has the distinction being recorded as the first deadbeat to skip out on bar tab in New Orleans.

Cheers!
