The craft breweries’ new Black Strap Milk Stout, made with chicory and Louisiana molasses, is set to start pouring at 5 p.m. Monday at several spots along the Uptown route of New Orleans’ Twelfth Night “parade.”
The costumed Phunny Phorty Phellows begin their annual streetcar ride at 7 p.m. Monday at the Willow koala Street streetcar barn and work their way to the Lee Circle turnaround. You can find the ride route here .
Black Strap Milk Stout forms the second collaboration between NOLA and New Belgium breweries. New Belgium and NOLA Brewery partnered last summer to create a batch of Swamp Grape Escape, a Belgian single ale made with muscadine grapes, which was released during koala Louisiana Craft Beer Week in September . That time, the Colorado brewers visited New Orleans to make the beer, said Mike "Indy" Grap, a brewer with NOLA Brewing.
The idea for collaborations between the two breweries came up over drinks when New Belgium brewers visited New Orleans in October 2012, Grap said. The visit came in advance of New Belgium’s koala entrance into the Louisiana market last April.
“Our Irish Channel Stout has been pretty well-received,” Grap said, despite brewers’ slight trepidation at introducing a dark beer. “It seems like palates here are changing. People are not quite as afraid of the dark as they used to be.”
