Miel Is New Orleans’ Newest Microbrewery and Taproom | Eater New Orleans

"I dropped by a former warehouse on Sixth Street that's now home to a new microbrewery and taproom called Miel, which opened last weekend. Its big space in the Irish Channel — which has been in the works for well over a year — features a hangar-like indoor area and a hefty beer garden that opens out to the street. Miel is keeping its operation pretty small: the beer isn't available anywhere outside the brewery (although take-home growlers are an option), and it launched with just a hefeweizen, a golden ale, and a Belgian dubbel brewed with honey. The name means “honey” in French, and the brewery is using honey in place of sugar in some of its brew operations. It's early days, but Miel plans to get up to a dozen beers on tap (and nitro coffee) once production ramps up, with frequent rotations through a variety of styles and seasonal brews. Given the large outdoor space, the taproom is dog friendly; it isn't serving food yet but will try to get food trucks to visit and customers are welcome to order in. Hours are 2 to 10 p.m. Sunday–Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday." - Tim Forster
