Jonathan Knoll and Chris Pahl have been serving creations from Broken Wheel Brewery at Knoll's restaurant in Marksville, Fresh Catch Bistreaux, for about a month. With perseverance and some good fortune, they hope, the small operation will eventually expand and make a name for itself outside the area the way several other Louisiana breweries have.

Saturday, Broken Wheel is participating in the first Louisiana Winter Beer Festival, serving its ales alongside well known craft beer brewers such as New Belgium and Sierra Nevada. Knoll said he was nervous to be "pouring there next to the big dogs," but also excited to pick up more feedback from a state craft beer community that he says has been nothing but supportive.

Good to see this happening. I grew up with Jonathan Knoll's oldest brother and his daddy was my junior high basketball coach.

I was out there helping Jon on Saturday. He received a ton of positive feedback. Almost everyone that came by the booth said it was the best beer at the festival. I was really blown away at how good all the beer was considering he's only been doing it for 8 months. The brews he had; Blonde, Pale Ale, Brown Ale, and Milk Stout were all delicious. People were begging him to sell them growlers. Here are a few pics:
