There is no Mardi Gras beer per se.
The Jax brewery is no longer brewing (tourist mall now...) and Abita is on the other side of Lake Ponchetrain. BMC is mostly what you'll see/be served...
My drink of choice for Nawlins has always been...
H U R R I C A N E S!!!
I had 5 one night...:rockin:and I've been to 8 MGs!! (I have a sister-in-law down there who got flooded out...now she lives closer to the airport...go figure).
Did I ever tell you I had relatves in Haddonfield? They died, but a cousin or two may still be there. I'm originally from Camden. When I was a young teenager I also lived in Philly, Woodlyn (attended Collingswood Jr High), lived in Oaklyn and Atlantic City (my hippy teenage years in '68-'72 when all the amusement piers were still up and running). Relatives all live in the Philly, Cherry Hill, Pennsauken, Franklin areas...
