Most visitors in over a decade....yeah, snore.

Asheville has nationally recognized craft breweries such as Sierra Nevada and Oskar Blues along with over 20 smaller breweries. Nola has what, 5 or 6.

I think something like 8 breweries have opened over the past two years with more on the way.
I don't see it being a big tourist driver, but it just adds to the options of things to do once here

Exactly. It seems like an odd thing to focus on.

The breweries seem like things residents do, not tourists.

Nah, there are a lot more beer tourist than you think. I've met quite a few at The Avenue Pub.
It's not even in the same league as to even mention with Asheville, but it's a nice niche to have

I hope to god NOLA never turns into Asheville.

You realize this was posted on here by NOLA Brew Bus, right? Of course they're going to focus on the craft beer tourism.


It's a pretty legit thing, truthfully. There are plenty of people out there who will factor in local breweries to their vacation destinations. And even more who will seek out local breweries when there for another reason. Like a convention in NOLA, for instance.

Latinas wouldn't serve you $8 frites looking like they hadn't showered in 5 days.
