New Orleans 2020 Brewery Guide
New Orleans, once a place with year-old IPAs collecting dust, is slowly turning into the next American craft beer city in need of a local guide.
Consider, early 2015 the entire state of Louisiana was home to only 17 breweries. A small number compared to visiting any major American craft beer destination city.
Some could argue with so many breweries oversaturating the market, finding a decent craft brew on vacation or checking out the latest release can become overwhelming.
But down in the Big Easy, New Orleans brews a new drinking culture for all locals and visitors to taste.
As the locals know, and any frequent visitor may discover, a whole other world exists beyond Bourbon and Canal Streets.
Adventuring into other New Orleans neighborhoods explores diverse atmospheres, energetic vibes, local seasonal favorites and refreshing experiences at some of our newest breweries.
While everyone else has enjoyed drinking fresh IPAs since 2011, New Orleans finally decided to make a move—the 6-month window from December 2016 to May 2017 brought New Orleans 5 new breweries.
Now, several years after the American craft beer boom, more locals and tourists are diving into the craft beer scene.
Check out our recent trip to 6 local breweries:
-Parleaux Beer Lab, Bywater neighborhood
-Brieux Carre Brewing, Marigny neighborhood
-Urban South Brewing, Uptown neighborhood
-NOLA Brewing, Uptown
-Miel Brewery & Taproom, Uptown
-Port Orleans Brewing, Uptown

Ok, full disclosure... This video is shaky at times and the audio was captured with the camera's internal mics. I had to be very sneaky to capture the footage, as the venue didn't allow video taping. There is even one point when I got caught. You can hear the bouncer asking for the tape around 18:50. I had to do some fast talking while I took the tape out of the camera, in my jacket pocket, so I could show the security guy that I wasn't actually taping. Luckily, he bought it and the tape was saved. Unfortunately, I had to move from the first balcony to the second. I was almost as far away as I could get. I had to move the camera around a bit, as people walked in front of me, or stood in front of me, and I didn't have a tripod. So both the audio and video leave something to be desired. I still thought there was value in the performance and is still entertaining to watch.

Hurricane Nate Getting Stronger As It Approaches New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Hurricane Nate strengthened on Saturday as it churned through the Gulf of Mexico, threatening to power into the U.S. central Gulf Coast to the east of New Orleans as a Category 2 storm after killing at least 30 people in Central America.
The center of the hurricane, the fourth major storm to hit the United States in less than two months, is forecast to make landfall overnight between Slidell, Louisiana, and Alabama’s Mobile Bay, U.S. National Hurricane Center spokesman Dennis Feltgen said.
Nate’s outer bands will likely reach the U.S. Gulf Coast with tropical storm-force winds on Saturday evening, the Miami-based NHC said.
Currently a Category 1 hurricane, Nate was 105 miles (170 km) south of the mouth of the Mississippi River on Saturday afternoon and moving at a rapid 25 miles per hour (40 km per hour), the NHC said. Maximum sustained winds hovered just below 90 mph (145 kph), with gusts of up to 110 mph.
The NHC issued a hurricane warning from Grand Isle, Louisiana to the Alabama-Florida border. A state of emergency was declared for more than two dozen Florida counties and for the states of Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi.
New Orleans, 30 miles (48 km) southwest of Slidell, evacuated some residents from areas outside its levee system as the storm approached. The winds could cause significant power outages in the city, and bring storm surges as high as 6 to 9 feet (1.8 to 2.7 meters), Mayor Mitch Landrieu said.
“We have been through this many, many times. There is no need to panic,” Landrieu told a news conference, alluding in part to Hurricane Katrina, which triggered severe flooding in New Orleans and killed hundreds of people in August 2005.
But residents of the city known as the “Big Easy” were taking Nate in stride. At a Lowe’s hardware store in the St. Roch area of New Orleans, there were short lineups around midday and plentiful supplies of propane, generators and plywood.
“They don’t start boarding up until it’s a Category 3,” said employee Paula Clemons. “We’re used to floods. Comes with the territory.”
That said, for some residents of New Orleans, memories of Katrina and Hurricane Betsy in 1965 were still vivid.
By Saturday afternoon, as Nate’s outer band pelted sheets of rain on the city, residents had filled 13,000 sandbags at a fire hall on Elysian Fields Drive, just one of five such sandbag depots in the city.
“I’ve been through Betsy and Katrina. Ain’t no way they’re going to stop this water,” said Antoine Turner, 55, as he heaved sandbags into his half-ton truck, hoping to protect a building where he was preparing to open a soul food restaurant. “Best thing to do is just pray.”
In Belle Chasse, a town 10 miles south of New Orleans that was flooded by a storm surge during Katrina, neighbors Derrick Ulloa, 27, and Ryan Hunt, 28, faced a 20-foot concrete wall designed to keep the Mississippi River off their doorsteps.
“We’re not worried about it,” said Hunt, as he and Ulloa organized jerry cans of gasoline to power a generator that will keep their fridges and an air conditioner running through the storm.
After hitting the U.S. Gulf Coast, the storm is likely to veer to the northeast and cut through Alabama, the state likely to be hit hardest. Republican Governor Kay Ivey urged residents in areas facing heavy winds and storm surges to take precautions.
Between four and eight inches of rain will fall from far southern Mississippi and northern and western Alabama to northern Georgia, middle and eastern Tennessee, western North Carolina and the Virginia Panhandle, AccuWeather forecast.
Nate will mark the fourth major storm to slam the United States in the current hurricane season, following Harvey, Irma and Maria, which devastated Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico, respectively.

7. SOUNDBITE: (English) Cleveland Stampley, trailer park resident:
I went back to New Orleans but I went to Algiers. I didn't go back to where I was living. You could go to jail down there man. There ain't no homes, ain't nobody living out there, if you ain't got no reason to be down there you're going to jail.

9. SOUNDBITE: (English) Manuel Broussard, spokesman for FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency):
You know, we've worked with Catholic charities, we've worked with the State, various agencies in the state, the Louisiana Recovery Authority, Department of Health and Hospitals and Social Services; trying to make sure that people who have special needs are taken care of and do have an opportunity to move on with dignity.
10. Stampley leaving his trailer
STORYLINE:
The last Louisiana residents displaced by hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005 are being moved from the state's remaining six federally-managed trailer parks.
The US government's Federal Emergency Management Agency, known as FEMA, says only 347 households displaced by the two hurricanes remain in FEMA trailer parks.
The number has been falling steadily and continually. It was 436 on Wednesday, according to FEMA.
The agency had set Saturday as its target to move the remaining families into apartments or motels, but says it will take a few more days.
FEMA has been working to move everybody out of travel trailers by the start of the summer due to concerns about toxic fumes in the units. In addition, hurricane season begins Sunday.
One of the residents moving out is Cleveland Stampley.
He's leaving a trailer park at Baker, north of Baton Rouge, for a nearby apartment complex.
Where I'm going now is much larger, said Stampley. Look at this, this is a matchbox. I got room now, I can manoeuvre.
It's the first time since Hurricane Katrina demolished his New Orleans home in August 2005 that he'll be living somewhere other than a shelter or government-issued trailer.
See, from where I was at, they haven't even cleaned the streets up yet. I was in the Lower 9th Ward. See, they're more concerned about the French Quarter then they are about the residents. he said, referring to the historic city centre popular with tourists.

SUMMARY
=======
Louisiana (French: La Louisiane; La Louisiane française) or French Louisiana was an administrative district of New France. Under French control 1682 to 1762 and 1802 (nominally) to 1803, the area was named in honor of King Louis XIV, by French explorer René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de la Salle. It originally covered an expansive territory that included most of the drainage basin of the Mississippi River and stretched from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico and from the Appalachian Mountains to the Rocky Mountains.
Louisiana included two regions, now known as Upper Louisiana (French: la Haute-Louisiane), which began north of the Arkansas River, and Lower Louisiana (French: la Basse-Louisiane). The U.S. state of Louisiana is named for the historical region, although it is only a small part of the vast lands claimed by France.French exploration of the area began during the reign of Louis XIV, but French Louisiana was not greatly developed, due to a lack of human and financial resources. As a result of its defeat in the Seven Years' War, France was forced to cede the east part of the territory in 1763 to the victorious British, and the west part to Spain as compensation for Spain losing Florida. France regained sovereignty of the western territory in the secret Third Treaty of San Ildefonso of 1800. But strained by obligations in Europe, Napoleon Bonaparte sold the territory to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, ending France's presence in Louisiana.
The United States ceded part of the Louisiana Purchase to the United Kingdom in the Treaty of 1818. This section lies above the 49th parallel north in a part of present-day Alberta and Saskatchewan.
