    which craft is not yet 'open.' you can only consume on-site.

    Meaning the plans are for it to be a hybrid bar/bottle shop?

    Not certain. It's attached to a restaurant that's owned by the same folks, so it will sell for restaurant consumption as well as having a selection for retail, I guess. At least I I hope...

    Avenue Pub's grand tasting yesterday was a great beer bar at its finest. Fantastic selection new and aged, reasonably priced package of small pours, minimal wait for drinks, good people all around... nice little Saturday.

    Moving down to the New Orleans area from Providence in a couple of months, so this thread is a welcome sight. I was concerned I wouldn't be able to get great beer in Louisiana and can rest easy now!

    Also, Southern Tier 6-packs now readily available. 2XIPA, Hop Sun, and Live have all been spotted.

    And here's a weird one: cans of Caldera IPA just arrived at Faubourg Wines on St Claude in New Orleans. Only place in the city I've seen it.

    We've gotten those cans on the Northshore a few weeks ago. Steins had them as well, but they must have went fast if you haven't seen them there.

    Does anybody have any information about when we'll receive Hoptimum bottles?

    I remember being breathless with anticipation last year also while the rest of America was getting their shipments in months before us.

    IIRC, they were around $2.79-$2.89 per can.

    The bottles and more kegs of Hoptimum are due on the next truck I think...which is shortly. Our last shipment only had enough of the kegs to get us through ACBW... 8 I believe and they are gone now. Mostly my fault:wink:

    Ok, some new stuff:
    *NOLA Mechahopzilla cans are at Steins and select Rouses locations
    *Steins also got New Belgium Rampant and 1554 12 oz 6-packs (Rouses also has 6-packs of several more NB beers that were either previously unavailable in Louisiana or only in bombers)
    *Steins receives St Arnold Bishop Barrel #3 today (check out that BA rating!)
