Beer

So Many Beers, So Little Time

The number of commercial breweries operating in the U.S. has exploded over the past decade, doubling to 2,500 and then doubling again to surpass 5,000. The number of Louisiana breweries has grown from just one (Abita) to 32 as of early 2017. Award-winning beer is being brewed all around us, and we aim to share as many tastes, styles and varieties as possible with our customers.

Brewniverse’s coolers and shelves are stocked with all your favorites:.

• Unfiltered German Hefeweizens.
• Spicy India Pale Ales
• Robust Irish Stouts
• Tart Belgian Lambics
• Porters, pilseners, marzens, dunkels… we have them all.

From distinguished imports such as Guinness to local artisans like Tin Roof, we aim to have the largest selection in the area. Keep in mind, Louisiana (like many states) is governed by the three-tier system where beer travels from brewer to distributor to retailer. This system was enacted after prohibition and isn’t going away any time soon. It has its perks. But it also means that we can only carry beer from brewers that have gone through the proper legal channels to distribute their products in our market.

Since I can’t bypass the middleman, we can’t legally sell Stone, Boulevard, Jester King, or that incredible brown ale you had on a ski trip to Montana.

That disclosure aside, we do have A LOT to choose from, including beers from far-flung places like India, Vietnam, Kenya, Spain and the Philippines.

I haven’t counted them all. But I can say that we have 150 different varieties just on our sampler shelf. Mix-and-match any combination you can dream of and build your own six-pack for just $9.99. While you’re here, be sure to also check out our rotating seasonal display. Right now, summer is in full swing and we’re anticipating thirst-quenching warm-weather brews like St. Arnold Summer Pils.
