I'm looking for a Christmas gift for my home-brewing beer snob of a brother-in-law. He lives in Tennessee and I figured a great gift idea would be to get him an assortment of local beers that he can't find in his home state. I have a few questions:

What are some good (small, not Abita) Louisiana breweries?

Where can I purchase their beers in bottles (Liquor stores with great selections)?

What would be some good choices of local APA's, IPA's, or sours?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

NOLA Hopitoulas IPA (canned) and Parish Canebrake (bottled) would be good. You might have to go to lafayatte for canebrake though. I'd be happy to get a dozen cans of hopitoulas as a gift though.

To my knowledge there are no sours being brewed in Louisiana. At least not on purpose...

NOLA Hopitoulas is a local IPA available in cans.

Bayou Teche LA-31 Bière Pâle and Tin Roof Voodoo Bengal are both locally brewed APAs.

If he likes hops be sure and pick up a bottle or two of St Arnolds Endeavour.

Thanks for the responses everyone. Where would be the best grocery or liquor stores to find these?

This.

If you can find a bottle of Parish Grand Reserve, that would be a good one for him.

And good idea on Saint Arnold Endeavour, but check the date on the neck of the bottle. Make sure it has a bottled date of October or more recent.

I'm so used to doing this I forget to remind people.

The last Endeavour I saw at Calandros was from July.

I bought one Sunday at Whole Foods with an October bottled date. You might want to check there.
