New Orleans, Beer Snobs - need help

OK I looked up Dixie and it's a contract brewer. Meaning it's brewed eldewhere and the just slap labels on it. Not sure that is what I want....
Any other suggestions?

I agree, Dixie beer is worth taking back to you.

With 6 or 7 breweries to choose from my advice would be at least a six-pack from each should do nicely... that way if the question ever comes up again you should be fairly well qualified to offer an opinion. Just tell your son your doing research for the forum... Problem solved.

Only problem is the OP is relying on someone to bring some beer to him as HE IS NOT going to New Orleans.
He is looking for a recommendation as to which beer he should ask for and which breweries bottle.

agreed, but I can buy that here in VA. Looking for something I haven't tried before.

Not a craft brewery, but a Nawlin's fave! Turbo Dog!! Goes great with the Cajun cuisine.
