I was actually thinking that was a pretty cool name for a beer, but couldn't figure out why it would have been applied to this one.

Elio's posted on Facebook yesterday that they have it.

Definitely will pick one up if they aren't sold out before I can get out there.

Much like the semi-local St. Arnold brewery has done with its Bishop’s Barrel series, the Abita Brewing Company has announced that it will begin a series of very limited release bourbon barrel aged beers. The first beer in the series will be an imperial stout aged in Pappy Van Winkle barrels and will be named “Bourbon Street“, a very apropos title.

Bourbon Street Stout is an Imperial Stout that is aged in Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon barrels. Our Imperial Stout is brewed with a combination of pale, caramel, chocolate and roasted malts. Oats are also added to give the beer a fuller and sweeter taste. The roasted malts give the beer its dark color as well as its intense flavor and aroma. After fermentation the beer is cold aged for 6 weeks. This is necessary for all of the flavors of the malt and hops to balance and produce a very smooth flavor. After the cold aging the beer is transferred into the bourbon barrels. It is then aged for another 8 weeks to absorb all of the flavors from the barrels. The result is a strong stout that brings out the roasted flavors from the malt and the warming toasted, vanilla, and bourbon flavors from the barrels.

Aren't you the Abita cheerleader? You should be happy about this. I know I am.

Yes, but I wasn't a fan of this particular beer. I thought they had a new version for this year.

And if anyone should know it would be a celebrity beer judge from the area
