Abita’s Tap Room is open Monday through Saturday 10am to 8pm and Sunday 10am to 7pm. The brewery has already donated over 13,400 bottles of their Seasonal Soda to St. Catherine’s fundraising efforts and the Better Than Ezra Foundation, as part of their Fill the Truck fundraiser.

Royal Brewery New Orleans is also volunteering their efforts to raise the much need funds for the Houston Food Bank. Their taproom, located on Townsend Place in New Orleans is open Friday from 4 to 9 and Saturday from 11 to 9. The brewers there remind you that you can enjoy pints of their handcrafted ales while celebrating the kick-off to 2017’s Louisiana Craft Beer Week.
Most of the thirty Louisiana breweries have collected money and items for various charities involved with Hurricane Harvey relief, some set up as staging areas for the Cajun Navy, or are brewing special batches of fundraising ales. As they continue these efforts, they are in addition planning for Florida and Irma relief.
Abita Brewing, Bayou Teche Brewing, and Royal Brewing New Orleans are looking forward to serving you this weekend and helping to raise money for Hurricane Harvey relief. There will be rare beers and old favorites to try, new friends to make and two dollars from every pint sold will go directly to the Houston Food Bank.
