Bottle Tree Blonde Ale - a brand new beer to La...from a new brewery. The brewer has New Orleans roots...that's why we were lucky enough to get it!

Raftman - a Belgian Ale. Wow...this is one of my favorite Unibroue beers...exceed only by La Fin Du Monde. Delicous and very hard to get in the US. I have to buy a mix of 3 other different Unibroue beers in order to get ONE Raftman. We always run out of this beer and it takes months to get back in stock.

Chatoe Rogue Single Malt Ale - a new series from Rogue. Made with a single malt...just like a fine scotch it is rich but drinkable blonde ale.

Cicerone comes to the Pub!

Cicerone is the 'Sommelier' Certification program for beer. the only one of its kind it seeks to raise the standard of education for servers of beer in the US. there are three levels of certification beginning with basic serving knowledge and continuing through brewing and beer judging.

In Aug./Sept. Ray Daniels will come to New Orleans to conduct his level 2 and 3 certification - you can become level one certified online and continue your education when he travels to New Orleans in late summer. An optional review course will be held and can be attended by people not wishing to take the certification test. This is the first time he has been in this part of the country and The Pub is very excited to host this very special event. For more information or registration for the event please consult the Cicerone website.
