Parleaux Beer Lab

This six-year-old brewery is located in the trendy Bywater district of New Orleans. “We have over a dozen citrus trees, fig trees, mulberries, and garden beds growing an array of edible plants. A good portion of our beer garden is draped in hanging muscadine vines,” says owner and head of fermentation Eric Jensen. This little oasis offers a range of pilsners inspired by Czech, German, American, Italian, and Southern Hemisphere brews. “Almost all of our barrel-aged wild beers use fresh, local seasonal farm fruits,” Jensen says.
