Zony Mash Beer Project

I visited Zony Mash when I was down in New Orleans a little while back. It's a heck of a space -- it's an old theater building that has a big stage set up inside for concerts, movie nights, and the like. The inside is big, though sparsely furnished, and the brewhouse is out in view for all to see (excellent). The outdoor area is likewise enormous with tons of seating -- picnic tables, two tops, shaded areas, big games like cornhole and giant connect four. They weren't too busy on the afternoon I was there, but I could see this being a real party patio on a summer evening.

On my visit, they had 20 beers on tap with lots of styles: lots of fruited or otherwise interesting sours, plenty of IPAs, several big BA stouts, a porter, witbier, gose, and even a fruit punch radler. I had a taster flight with a hazy IPA, porter, witbier, and the carrot cake sour. The sour was excellent; the witbier heavy on the coriander and totally solid. Hazy IPA and porter were not quite up to those standards, but still quite good; would not be surprised if everything is good. I did notice that many of their beers seem to incorporate lactose; perhaps that makes the difference.
