Brieux Carré Brewing Co. (New Orleans, LA) | Czech Helles

Hey there! I’m Riho, a craft beer enthusiast. The perfect finale to my New Orleans beer trip was a visit to Brieux Carre Brewing Co. I’d heard that many New Orleans breweries collaborate with them on lagers, and I had to see firsthand just how good they were.

What is Brieux Carre Brewing?

Brieux Carre Brewing Co. is a microbrewery founded in 2017 that brews world-class lagers in a tiny 400-square-foot (approximately 37 square meter) space. Located on Decatur Street in New Orleans, they specialize in styles rarely found elsewhere — Helles, Grodziskie (a traditional Polish smoked beer), and Czech-style dark lager among them. As a frequent collaborator with local breweries, Brieux Carre serves as a respected hub in the New Orleans craft beer scene.
