Wayfare on Freret Street This week my story on Lauren Salazar from New Belgium Brewing went up on The Alcohol Professor. This was a fun one to write. She's super cool and fun to hang out with and her love of beer and life is contagious! I also did a writeup of last week's Boudin, Bourbon, & Beer event focusing on the Abita cask ale garden. And there's something cool in the works with a national beer magazine that I can't quite talk about yet, but I'm pretty psyched!

Covington Brewhouse has new ownership - one of the owners is the brewmaster, Brian Broussard. I'd heard rumors about it, but it's done and done and can be announced now.  It's staying in the same location, and I'm not sure about staffing changes... obviously Broussard is still in place.  The press release says that the main contacts are: David Arbo, President (david@covingtonbrewhouse.com) and Brian Broussard, Brewmaster ( brian@covingtonbrewhouse.com )
