I know this is a blog about the beer scene in Baton Rouge, but one place I've really been wanting to check out that's close to home is the Avenue Pub in New Orleans. As best I can tell they have the best craft beer and import selection on tap of anywhere in the state. Not the biggest quantity, but the most harder to find and more sought after taps. Starting tonight for the next four Wednesdays they will be hosting a tasting of a selection of beeradvocate's 100 best beers in the world!
From their website:

I highly encourage anyone who loves trying new beer to check these tastings out! I believe the price is only $20 each, and I'm hoping to make it to at least the April 7th tasting. The Lost Abbey Angel's Share and Pliny the Elder are two beers I'd love to try, although everyone on the list is sure to be fantastic.
So, check it out if you can, maybe I'll see some of you there!
