Anyone have the scoop on Istrouma Biere Republique brewery?

The guy that directed the Ole War Skule documentary appears to be an owner or involved in some manner. I heard they had some legal hurdles, but finally got through everything.

The location is very rural, but really not that far off from LSU/downtown. From what I can tell they are building the brewery on the same property as a house. Not sure if the guy who owns it will be living there at the same time or what.

This is going up on Bayou Paul rd. I thought that area was only zoned for residential.

Stupid name... That's all I got.

Where on Bayou Paul is this?

5474 Bayou Paul Road

I heard 4-6 weeks, but as we know, it'll never be ready on time.

Word on the street is that they won a judgement in the local court in the area and they're just waiting on the parish to formally issue their licenses.

But that's just what I heard on the streets.........

The goal of Istrouma is to create unique and flavorful beers that use farm grown ingredients. The goal is to always have 1/2 of the beers featuring heavy fruit or farm ingredients. The predominate styles Istrouma will feature are: heavy fruited Berliners, ipas, fruited wits, and it is always stout season.
The stouts will all be big body flavor packed pastry stouts.
The IPAs will have a heavy NEIPA focus with ridiculous dry hopping.
The fruited Berliner’s and wits will all be flavor overloads. Istrouma will never use use the terms hint or bit to describe our fruited beers.
Istrouma will also have some more classic light beers like blondes and pils.
It will also strive to branch into new experimental styles from fruited sour ipas, to some cool unique twists on braggots, to a special Berliner series.
The bottom line is Istrouma strives to be a place where all palates are welcomed and then pushed to the limits.
Istrouma has done a lot of research and visited some of the best breweries in America to create Its focus,and while we will never guarantee that every beer we release will be a mind blowing success, Istrouma wants everyone to know that we won’t be happy till that very thing happens.
