New Orleans Brew News!!

Got some nice beer news today!



Brasserie Cantillon busted out there annual Zwanze Day list for 2013 and Avenue Pub will once again be host on September 14th!   I think I may actually be able to go for once!!

Avenue Pub is in some damn good company with bars like Church Key out of  D.C. and Monk's Cafe in Philly.  So great to see a New Orleans beer bar on this list.  Actually, you know what, lemme take that back.  ALL these other bars are in great company- The Avenue Pub!!  Take note anyone who comes up with a Best Beer Bar in NOLA list!  If AP ain't on it you screwed up.  Click here for Avenue Pub's Zwanze Day FB page.



In other news Abita Brewing hit me with a double whammy today.  First, they will be releasing Andygator in 6 packs. The anticipated release date is "sometime in early October."  I don't know if they are doing away with the 22 oz version.  I doubt it but I'm not sure.

And for you hop fans Abita will be adding a new Harvest beer to the lineup. It will be a grapefruit IPA called Grapefruit Harvest IPA. This brew will be releasing in December and it uses local grapefruits grown in Plaquemines Parish.  Looking forward to this one!

Cheers!

Beer Review: Cantillon Classic Gueuze



Brewery: Brasserie Cantillon

Beer: Cantillon Classic Geuze

Style: Geuze

ABV: 5%

Recommended Glassware: Flute, Tulip, Stange, Snifter

Serving Type: Flute

Appearance: This beer poured a slightly hazy orange with a nice fluffy head which disappears quickly. Tons of bubbles in this one!

Smell: The nose is very tart and sour with hints of citrus.

Taste: This beer is an all out explosion of different flavor experiences. Tart, sour, lemony cirus and a bit of funkiness. Very champagne like too me. Amazing flavors! I really enjoy this beer!! This is a beer that really tests your taste buds and makes you think.

Mouthfeel: Effervescent comes to mind. That and a great sourness that'll make your butt pucker.

Drinkability: Freaking great. I really like sour beers and this one is by far one of my new favorites.

Score: Photobucket 4.5 out of 5 Buddhas
