I throw a Crawfish Bash every year called the Annual Tax Relief Crawfish Bash since it happens usually the first weekend after April 15th.
This coming year will be the 15th annual one. Some of you Philly people might remember my inaugural party. I had 125 lbs of live craw shipped into Philly airport. The bomb sniffing dogs alerted on the box and they closed the airport and the major highways surrounding the area for two hours. They had a robot open the box out in a big empty parking lot and I was watching it on TV and saw that it was my crawfish.
I want to brew a special beer for this, or two even since my system is two tapped.
Is there a GOOD local craft beer served in New Orleans that I should try to clone? It should be a good session beer that you can drink for hours with nice sweetness to counteract the spice. I am drinking a Wit right now that to be honest would probably be perfect but it just seems somehow wrong serving Belgian beer for this event.
I am looking for suggestions here. Some particulars for edification. Crawfish are spicy messy finger food. The beauty of these little buggers is that they never fill you up. You can literally sit down to eat at noon and just keep eating all day. I've seen people eat these things for 12 hours straight. Beer is the perfect accompaniment but I want it to be as drinkable as the craw is munchable.
