Hopitoulus is my favorite NOLA brew


I saw it on their website and it said it was a west coast pale ale so I would expect something like Sierra Nevada Pale Ale which is one of my top 10 faves.



I'd have a tough time naming a favorite NOLA brew between Hopitoulas or Blonde, but I am a hop head and Hopitoulas is very good. It is very hoppy, so if you like IPAs you'll like it. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is not labeled an IPA, but it is as hoppy as many IPAs. The hops in Hopitoulas are drier and not as fragrant as the classic "west coast style" IPAs like Racer 5.

I'd say it is definitely on the low-end of hoppyness if we are calling it an IPA. Still one of my faves.

Side note: Just tried Bear Republic's Hop Rod Rye for the first time. Very good. Will definitely find its way into my rotation.

I have a tough time naming my favorite between Hopitoulas and Irish Channel Stout.


and to the OP. Just confirming what others said, blonde is the only one in cans right now. You can get any of their regulars and seasonals in draft packs (about 24 beers for $40+/-)


anyone know if irish channel stout is on draft right now?

Have you tried their Saison? It's awesome. Only seen it at the Bridge Lounge though.
