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!

Bottle. Pours a pale golden color with a small frothy white head that leaves sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a skunk corn malt. The taste is similar to the aroma with a bitter finish. Not much going on with this one.

Doing my beer tour of Louisiana beers, and have yet to find anything decent from this state. Pours amber with off-white head. Aroma of pale malts, dark malts with buttery/ caramel notes, not bad, just plenty of malts. Taste, dark roasted malts with hoppy bitterness. Good thing they added the dakr malts otherwise this beer would have been quite terrible.

Bottle. Poured darker brow with thick lasting white head. Aroma of malt and butter. Some lacing. Flavour of malt and butter. Flat finish. Doesn’t measure up to the stadards of a good schwarzbier. It’s possible the change in venue has affected the beer. I’ll have to try it again once is’s brewed at the old stand. Until then, I’ll avoid Dixie beers.

Everything about this beer is like Jazz music and all that jazz. Aroma has slight hints of honey on an otherwise background olfactory of my grammas permanent hair treatment. Fairly un hazy pale lager appearance. Weak and fairly non offensive on the taste buds. Just enough to let you know its beer and its not bad. Nice tingly carbonation. A rather enjoyable beer for a session and its as expected. Glad I tried this, it went down easy. Yep, just like jazz, free flowing without any one particular attribute except mildness. S5L2F3T5O12
