Located in Thibodaux this little local brewery is finally open.
I went Saturday and they only had 3 beers on tap, King Cake Ale (minus sugar rim) Cafe Au Lait, and the Intercoastal IPA. This weekend the Pelican Pilsner should be ready.
The place itself is very nice and open, wood tables, fire place, very comfortable chairs. Pints are 5.00 each and I would not recommend a flight since those are 6oz pours but each one is 4.00.
You are allowed to bring beer to share as well. Overall the beer was good but nothing really stood out, the Cafe Au Lait was really weak on the back end but had a nice coffee nose, the King Cake you got the cinnamon up front but nothing else, the Intercoastal is an English IPA he said and was the best of the bunch imo.
I did not ask about growler fills fwiw

So was it unbalanced towards the malt side? Both English style IPAs I've tried were more malty.

IMO, this was a mistake. Gimmicky beers just won't take off in the craft beer world as a new brewery. Especially one that is reliant on sugar flavors. I say that as i remember cane break. Which was good the first time i had it, and it was when i was somewhat new into craft beer. Nowadays i tend to stay away from it. Too malty for me. But, that's just my personal preferences of beer. So maybe i'm wrong, but my opinions of a king cake beer scream "big mistake" in my head.
In my honest opinion, if you are starting a brewery, make incredible classic styles. Make a great IPA, a great stout, a great saison. Once you are established, then try your "flavored" stuff. Just my 2 cents.
But, i do hope they succeed. More breweries can only be a good thing for louisiana.

How was the Cafe Au Lait? Sounds good. Don't they serve a crab boil beer as well?

The biggest problem will be the area. Houma/Thib people like their bud, miller and mich ultra. They don't really go for the craft beer.
That said, craft beer is trendy right now so they may just on for a little while but then go back to piss water.

What's with the cheesy names? Figured Abita and Nola had that market cornered.

I'm excited for them. The brewer is a former botany professor at Nicholls. The other other owners - one is a neurosurgeon and the other is a banker. I know the banker the best of all 3. The beer is good - at least for my taste and I've had them a few times. I know that Crescent Crown is buying every drop they desire to sell, so I expect to see it on tap in this market very soon. Yes - Houma Thib is very much Bud Light territory, but there is room for Mudbug for sure. They are most welcomed in this area and I think will have a lot of success - similar to Parish, etc. For what it's worth, I love Cane Brake. I also love Parish's LA 31 and Biere Noir. I'm just getting started with beers, so I have yet to refine my snobbery.
There will be a new brew-pub coming to Houma soon, too. One of the Lebouef Bros Towing guys is rumored to be opening one in downtown soon. Houma/Thib is growing up!
