The Beer Geek’s Guide to New Orleans

"The Boudreaux brothers — David, Pat, and Matthew — opened this outpost of a national franchise on a bustling block of Magazine Street in April. Although there is an emphasis on tasting and selling local beers (and distillery products), other craft brands are available, and Craft Beer Cellar has tastings a couple times a week to acquaint customers with national breweries they might not know as well like Uinta, Dogfish Head, or Left Hand.
