Early April - Bayou Teche Brewing enters the New Orleans Market...This beer has been so successful the brewery has run out! They are delaying their New Orleans release to early April.

Cicerone comes to the Pub!

Cicerone is the 'Sommelier' Certification program for beer. the only one of its kind it seeks to raise the standard of education for servers of beer in the US. there are three levels of certification beginning with basic serving knowledge and continuing through brewing and beer judging.

In Aug./Sept. Ray Daniels will come to New Orleans to conduct his level 2 and 3 certification - you can become level one certified online and continue your education when he travels to New Orleans in late summer. An optional review course will be held and can be attended by people not wishing to take the certification test. This is the first time he has been in this part of the country and The Pub is very excited to host this very special event. For more information or registration for the event please consult the Cicerone website.
