re: Best Brewery in Baton Rouge

Gilla in Gonzales has the best beer. If the Nola Mia food truck is there, that pizza is outstanding. If no food truck, there is a Mexican restaurant for pickup next door to Gilla. If they have it, don’t turn your nose up at the Ghetto Superstar frozen drink, it’s excellent. Mellifera, Brannigan, Tangerine Dreams and STTDB are all solid beers.

Rally Cap has some good beer but no food usually. SBRHGN is an excellent Oatmeal Stout.

Only have been to Cypress Coast once. Enjoyed the beers and Fleur De Lis Pizza, a BR staple, is across the side street and the brewery shares a parking lot with Gov’t Taco.

Le Chien in Denham Springs has very good beer selections. The food truck offers handpies, for both entree choices and desserts.

Tin Roof is a decent stop, haven’t been a fan of their selection but many on the board have suggested it.

Istrouma has a great setup—old barn/farm with pizza offerings but I like their beer choices the least.

Other nearby breweries: Gnarley Barley in Hammond about 40 minutes from BR. Bayou Teche Brewing in Arnaudville, about an hour away but a nice Cajun feel, some off the wall brews and excellent pizza.

If y’all want to hit distilleries, Sugarfield in Gonzales and 3 Rolls in BR.

Have fun.
