"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. With Mama Boudreaux behind the register, it’s a family affair — and what goes better with family events than drinking beer, am I right?" - Nora McGunnigle
