Cold weather usually means dark beers for this guy. Honestly, I like them almost anytime. But as the in-state breweries get a more steady distribution, some really good ones are hitting the Baton Rouge market.
In this case, one Lafayette brewer that has become a local powerhouse, and a New Orleans outfit that is doing some great stuff as well — Parish Brewing’s Rêve Coffee Stout and Urban South’s Ca’Phe Vietnamese (FANCY) Coffee Stout.
A luscious Vietnamese-style coffee stout brewed with lactose sugar and locally roasted coffee from French Market Roasters. 2017 Beer Army Foundation gold medal winner for Best Sweet Stout.
