Going to NOLA for Wrestlemania in April. Never been. Any recs for bars and bottle shops? Thanks Also, any bottle shops off the main highway from GA to NOLA in Mississipi or Alabama? I'm aware of seekabrew but what should I get that I can't get in Georgia?
Avenue Pub for the only world-class beer bar and Stein's Deli for best bottle shop (and deli). Cottage Hill Package Store in Mobile isn't too far off I-10 and might be your best bet along the way. EgadBananas put together a nice guide to beer in the Nola Metro area. http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/beer-guide-to-visiting-new-orleans.130294/
Yeah I saw that after I posted this. Very nice guide. Anything new I should be looking out for bottle wise? I've heard you can get Cantillon at Stein's. What's the catch?
Southern Prohibition's 2014 IPA is pretty good. I'm guessing Parish's Ghost in the Machine is pretty much gone by now. It never hurts to ask for Cantillon at Stein's. He takes care of regular customers first, especially with the rarer bottles, but he has sold some low-to-mid level Loons to me before and I'm not a regular.
DBA on Frenchman street has a great bottle selection and great jazz. Don't miss it. Beats bourbon st. anytime.
