Hunting for Hops in the Bayou State

Known as a top culinary destination, the state of Louisiana's mix of cultures and vast array of flavors have helped lead its edible revolution. Now, a new revolution has taken root in the cities and bayous across the Pelican State — one filled with locally sourced ingredients and bold brews. Craft breweries across the state have been taking their beers to the next level, providing a unique look — and sip — into the state's unique heritage. The Louisiana State Office of Tourism encourages you to partake in the local flavors that are the foundation for this craft beer revolution.

In partnership with the Louisiana Brewery Trail, we're excited to bring you some exciting new promotions, encouraging you to check out some brews from the bayou. Starting February 24th and running through the end of the year, we have a pair of brand new badges for you to unlock.
