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!

12 oz bottle picked up out of boredom, curiosity, and the "gotta try them all eventually" factor. Poured into a pint glass. Pours a pale golden color with a little foam head. Aroma is an odd sour like grain, and a little fishy. Weird, and not a great one. I change my mind actually, it smells really fishy, and I don’t associate my kind of beers with that particular deScriptor. As this beer is described, it sounds really interesting, and appealing. I am quite disappointed. Nothing really special going on here. Funky grains, big lager yeast presence, and hardly able to consider refreshing. Glad I tried this, but it was a total miss for me. Can’t kill it in the score book though, it was finishable.

Clear pale golden colour, average frothy white head, mostly diminishing. Aroma sweet corn, wet hay, cooked vegetables, soap. Flavour light heavy sweet, slightly bitter, corn. Light body, watery to oily texture, soft carbonation, aftertaste light bittersweet, yuck.

Bottle. Lemon/lactic corn and barley malt aroma. Golden yellow with moderate head. Lightly sweet corn malt flavor. Think Minhas just has a big vat of pale lager and just puts on different labels. Sure this beer tasted better in the 80s.

This schwarzbier comes off like a malt liquor, minus the alcohol. None of the roast grain, coffee type bitterness, just malt, malt, malt. Appearance is also a muddy brown, not black. Terrible representation of the style.

Another malt bomb. Pure cereal grains and malt aroma and taste. Just a normal North American lager....

Pours a light brown color, clear, topped with a decent off white head. The aroma is slightly biscuity, roasted malts. The taste is sweet, caramel notes, with little bitterness in the finish. Slightly unpleasant aftertaste, metallic, burnt. Would be very nice without that aftertaste.
