Hand Crafted Brews
As a microbrewery, Cajun Brewing focuses on making a few types of beers in fairly small quantities for fresh and flavorful brews. Unlike other microbreweries that create craft beers that are often overpowering or have peculiar flavors, our beers are designed to be more approachable. Light, refreshing, never too heavy, and always great-tasting are the key descriptors defining our beers.
Our brewery was founded on three superb beers- Cajun Wit, Bayou Brunette and Freetown. You can find Wit and Freetown in local restaurants and bars. And we now offer both in bottles, which you will find in local stores as well. We now have a Tap Room with 15 rotating taps.
Our team is always experimenting with new beers, and hope to add several new brews to our line-up. We invite you to find our beer at a location near you and enjoy the wonderfully unique taste of our Cajun brews.
