Best Beer Spots in New Orleans | Eater New Orleans

"Raymond and Mandy Pumilia have been doing some heavy lifting bringing the first (but rumor has it, not the last!) brewery to New Orleans East. Royal Brewery stays open during the weekend and brings a lot to the table to entice you out that way. First of all, their live music offerings are the best any brewery in this city has. Second, delicious beer! In addition to their three flagship beers - Culicidae Ale, Termite Lager, and Chevelle Diablo Porter - they offer taproom only specials like Thor’s Hammered Belgian Ale or Black Panther Black IPA. So make the trek - it’s an adventure of awesome." - Nora McGunnigle
