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!

33cl bottle from Plonkers, Derby - "EU Brewed" Black with a dense cream head and a ruby tinit; burnt toffee aroma; rather disappointing cola flavour, with lots of sugar syrup; finish is slightly spicy and warming. Poor in comparison to a Czech Schwarzbier.

bottle - Pours clear dark brown with a light tan head. It has a mild caramel malt aroma. The flavor is lightly roasted caramel malt and a touch of hops. It’s light bodied and certainly goes down smooth, but there’s just not much here. It’s alright for sessions but there are definitely better options.
