I’ll be in town visiting my parents this weekend. I haven’t lived in Baton Rouge for about 5 years so I figured I would check here to get some knowledge.

I’m looking for the best beers to pickup and bring back to Austin for friends to try. Things like Jucifer and GITM come to mind - are both of those readily available? I saw the Bloom thread, where can I grab that?

What beers should I grab that aren’t IPAs? I’d like to get some stouts or porters along with anything else that’s brewed in LA and good.

You can get these at a ton of places. Calandro's will have a nice selection of local beer. Either location.

Bring your question down to the FBD thread on the food board and you'll get more answers than you probably want.

Eta: admin did it for you

Reve is an amazing coffee stout by Parish and it’s at Calandro’s. When it’s fresh, it’s like drinking crack. Korova is a porter by Gnarly Barley and it should also be there. It’s solid.

Also, if you were able to make a pit stop at Tin Roof Brewing, they make an excellent APA called VooDoo.

I'd add Holy Roller to Tdeucen's list. I prefer it to Jucifer.

And the DDH Envie

Urban South's lime cucumber gose is a very good beer this time of year

commotion from great raft is also worth a try

Cocodrie from bayou teche brewing is something different but I like it every now and then

Yeah some people get angry when someone asks a basic question.

A few people gave great suggestions though so I appreciate it!

Don’t bother with anything Abita unless the only place open or near is a gas station and they have Hop-On.
