The World's Top 10 beer destinations for 2019 - NOLA #3 - Rouge loves this title

Nola what? Breweries listed in Nola, hmm
"Beer lovers with a penchant for travel already know about Belgium, both Portlands (Oregon and Maine), and Colorado. Many have Munich, and its famed Oktoberfest, on their bucket lists. But with 7,000 breweries and counting in the U.S., and more breweries in Europe and Asia increasingly inspired to supplement their own traditions with American craft brewing innovations, there are plenty of less obvious destinations calling for your next beercation.
In 2019, as in past years, VinePair challenged ourselves to look beyond the usual suspects and seek out beer cities beyond the proverbial beaten path. Adding to their appeal are a series of new nonstop flights, just-opened restaurants, and once-in-a-lifetime cultural attractions.
From the City of Light, to the City of Angels, to the Kodak City, here are our top 10 destinations for beer travel in 2019."
10. PARIS, FRANCE
9. SEATTLE, WASH.
8. TOKYO, JAPAN
7. ROCHESTER, N.Y.
6. RALEIGH, N.C.
5. LOS ANGELES, CALIF.
4. ATLANTA, GA.
3. NEW ORLEANS, LA.
"A beer lover’s trip to the Crescent City five years ago would have likely included an hour-long trek from the French Quarter to NOLA Brewing, located in the Irish Channel, or as its tagline proudly states, “in a warehouse on the lake side of a street tourists can’t pronounce” (Tchoupitoulas Street). Or, one might have endured an hour-long drive to Abita across Lake Pontchartrain. Now, recent openings citywide are making a Big Easy beercation easier than ever.
“Non-distro” breweries, or those that don’t distribute their beer outside their own taprooms, are keys here. Wash down your beignets and pralines at Brieux Carré, a Marigny brewery offering everything from grisettes to restrained NEIPAs. Head to a trivia night at Parleaux Beer Lab, a small batch brewery in Bywater with styles spanning the sessional to the experimental. Miel Brewery, also in the Irish Channel, is fast becoming a feel-good neighborhood staple, open seven days a week.
Budget travelers, rejoice: Spirit Airlines announced new routes to New Orleans late last year, adding nonstop flights between New Orleans and Austin; and nonstop seasonal service between New Orleans and Philadelphia."
2. BERLIN, GERMANY
1. AUSTIN, TEX.
Rest of the article with discripts at each city below:

Agree. Would like to try some of the smaller breweries in Paris though. My Untapp’d suggestions when I was sitting at CDG looked awesome.

Boston
Overrated af
ETA: edgy hot take aside, think about Boston city proper and the breweries that actually exist there. Where can you get to with ease using public transit or walking? No Uber. No driving — driving in Boston sucks because parking sucks. No denying that the broader region is amazing and that Mass is probably a top-10 state for beer, but Boston as a brewery destination is overrated.

Agreed. Was there this summer. Went to three or four in one afternoon and parking sucked for all of them. We even got a ticket
Harpoon wasn’t the “easiest” and that included parking two blocks away

A hour long treck from the french quarter to NOLA?

Walking? Yeah, that about adds up.
Should you walk it? No.

I tried a couple dozen Japanese craft beers while I was there. Only one was good enough for a second round. They have a long way to go.

I like their whiskeys though

I have to agree. There are a lot of breweries here, but not a lot of good ones. Personally I am more than willing to admit most of the local beers suck.
-Austin Beer Garden Brewery (ABGB) has some good stuff, but they don’t sell in stores.
-Jester King has a really cool property, but sours are a unique taste. They have a great foreign selection for sale as well; but nothing you can’t get at twin liquors in bee cave
Best in the world? No fricking chance

If their only qualification for "best in the world" is walking distance, then not having Asheville on this list is criminal. Not to mention places i haven't been, like Portland or Boulder (from what i heard). And strange that Belgium isn't on this list.

I appreciate the enthusiasm from tourists for New Orleans, but ranking New Orleans in the top 10 for world beer destinations is absurd.
Miel Brewery has only been open for a few months and is highlighted.

Couldn't believe it wasn't on the list. I'd have thought it'd be wayyy up the list.

Agree. It would be the definition of a beer destination.

On a pretty day, you could stroll down Magazine toward there and it would be a nice walk most of the ways.
