Description
Dixie Brewery opened shop on a vacant lot on Tulane Avenue in New Orleans in 1907. It produced the flagship brand as well as others for 99 years until Hurricane Katrina devastated the facility in 2005. Finally, it’s coming back home.
By late 2019, Dixie will restore all brewing production to the city of New Orleans in an 85,000 square foot facility in New Orleans East. It will house a 100-barrel brewhouse as well as a 15-barrel craft system for the creation of new beers. By early 2020, Dixie will be open to the public to tour the facility, the production process, learn more about its history and sample its many tasty brews.
Committed to making our home more unified, welcoming and resilient for future generations, the brewery was renamed Faubourg Brewing Co. in 2020 as a tribute to the diverse neighborhoods that flavor our gumbo-pot home. Faubourg — pronounced “FO-burg” — is a French word that we New Orleaneans often use interchangeably with “neighborhood.” Our beers have always brought people together, so it’s only natural that we celebrate every corner of our one-of-a-kind city.
Today, Faubourg Brewing Co. is the oldest operating brewery in New Orleans. We’re locally owned and operated, proud of our perseverance, and more excited than ever about what our future holds. See you around the neighborhood!

12oz. bottle, price of $1.69 @ Nikki’s Liquors, Providence, R.I. Pilsner glass shows me a deep crimson color with almost no head. Nose is light caramel. Flavors of weak chocolate, more caramel and a light fruit hop toward the finish. Texture is an oily, syrupy texture. Some like secondary sugar. Really thin body to nearly being watery. This brew really could be much better. Could use a lot of refinement.

Ninth Ward, New York bottle ($5): Pours a pale gold with little head. Aroma is barely there, but basically your standard grains and whatever. Taste is pretty minimal, but there ain’t nothing really offensive in this. ’’Tis a drinkable pale lager.

Into my pilsener, it poured a beautiful dark brown/almost black but gave more of a brownish body. A three inch white head appeared and lasted for a good two minutes. The smell has the roasted malt up front mixed with notes of a sort of caramel sweetness and a slight earthy hop smell. Some molasses comes in as the beer warms. The taste is sweet with brown sugar and caramel coming out pretty strong. There is a slightly weird buttery aftertaste that isn’t too desirable. The palate is about a medium with a slight side of creaminess and nothing obscuring the tongue, just an overall goodness. Overall, this is good for its style and good for me.
