We didn't have time for a brewery tour or anything, but I wasn't at all impressed with the beer selection in taverns. Guinness was about the most far out thing I noticed at places. I'm a beer snob though so that's just me.

There are a ton of bars and restaurants with amazing tap lists, but you're not going to find them in the North End. Your average place won't have outstanding tap lists, so you sort of have to know where to go if you're looking for a good beer list.

There was a guy there named Brian who was from Metairie I believe and he kinda coordinates everything for LSU I guess.

Brian's a good guy - he runs the LSU Alumni group up here pretty much. He also runs a food truck that serves Louisiana food and it's damn tasty.

The worst part about the BT for a game is when the Sox are still in season, which is why I always root for the Sox to NOT make it to October.

Yeah I figured I needed to branch out to find good beer but we were ubering everywhere and I didn't wanna go too far. I had been stoked about visiting Trillium the entire time and once we got there I realized that their location in the North End was just for filling growlers and such and that the taproom was like 45 minutes away so that was a bummer.

And yeah the Tavern got PACKED once the game let out. We went there the night before just to check everything out and it was almost like a Tigerland bar or something

. Chicks in skimpy dresses and douchebags trying to pick them up. We just kinda made our own little place on the first floor near the entrance and still had a good time.

Brian told us about his food truck. I figured any Louisiana style food place there had to kick arse
