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!

Wenig sherber Antrunk in einem allgemein süßen Biere ohne wirkliche Aromen. Langweiliges Lager, nicht mal sonderlich erfrischend. 8/5/6/5/3/4

33cl bottle, brewed in the EU, from Westholme Stores, Goring. Slightly hazy amber with a huge billowing white head that faded quickly; aroma has corn and wooden barrels; more wood in the flavour, but otherwise rather thin, watery and sweet. Clean finish.

Aroma of concord grapes, barley, mushrooms, and lime. Shimmering amber, thin head. Lemony barley flavor. Weak, but it has character.

Not very good. One of the worst I have had. Pours a nice dark brown and smells good. The taste is a little nutty, but other than that it was hard to drink. It is also watery.

Dark roasted malt aroma wih hints of fig and raisin. Clear brown, thin head, streams of carbonation. Watery, lightly sweet malt and fig. Balance and flavor improves upon warming, with neutral wood/nut notes replacing the sweetness. Slight cardboard finish. Weak overall and a poor representative of the style.

Bottled (BB 09/2010) from KKK Kamppi
This is brewed in Europe. Golden color, vanishing small white head. Fruity, apple-corn aroma with hints of diacetyl. Smells like a cider. Flavor is similar: apple, pear, grains and paper with some buttery notes. Aftertaste is a bit more dry. I wonder if the original one was better, but this is a copy of not so clean tropical bulk lager.
