I'm flying out in a few hours to New Orleans for a long weekend for my cousin's wedding. Are there any beer's/breweries native to the New Orleans/Louisiana area I should look for? While I realize I have it pretty good in NorCal, I want to see what other areas have to offer. If the selection is bad, I can always switch to wine/mixed drinks.
Avenue Pub was great. I stopped at Pat O'Briens to get a Hurricane and dinner and someone there told me about The Bulldog on Magazine. It was just about as good as Avenue Pub.
