I am going to New Orleans in a couple of weeks for a long weekend. Two years ago when I was there I hit Cooter Brown's, Bulldog, Crescent City Brewhouse, and Acadian Brewery and Beer Garden (which I understand is closed). Never did get to d.b.a., which I plan to go to this time. Are there any new brewpubs or good beer bars I should consider going. I also plan on going over to Mississippi to the Coast Brewing Co in Biloxi so I can say I finally had a beer from Mississippi (only four states to go)...

thanks in advance...

Acadian has reopened as the Brewhouse Grill (Brewpub Only - No micro). Unfortunately they are only selling one house beer which is well-made, but not terribly exciting. Don't miss Zea Rotisserie & Brewery in nearby Metarie.

Cheers,

Steve

I was just there for a few days and while I didn't do much beer related (or should I say goodbeer related, I did drink a lot of Abita and budweiser) as I was with my wife and she doesn't get quite as excited about beer as I do. I did make it to dba however they had a great selection and good atmosphere but I was a bit dissapointed because it was very heavly focused on the west coast. Since I live in CA I was hoping to run into some east coast beers that I had not tried before but unfortunately it wasn't ment to be.

Drink Abita Turbodog boardering on FG when fresh. Abita Amber and Bock are Good. Eat at Coop's on Decature.

If you're in Metairie, you might also look for Ale's (can't remember the full name). It was there in 1996 or so; dunno if it still is. They didn't have a huge selection, but I found a few things I hadn't found locally (Dixie White Moose for example), so it was worth the trip.
