BREWPUB

ABITA BREW PUB
72011 Holly St., Abita Springs
(985) 892-5837

www.abita.com
While the freshly brewed, on-tap Abita varieties are the typical draw to this Northshore spot, the food is nothing to scoff at. The appetizers often have beer worked into the recipe, such as the crab claws sauteed in Abita Amber and rosemary barbecue sauce, and the inventive entrees include the Stuffed Shrimp Tchefuncte, where jumbo shrimp are stuffed with an oyster cornbread dressing. Reservations accepted for parties of four or more. Lunch and dinner daily. Credit cards. $$

CRESCENT CITY BREWHOUSE
527 Decatur St. 522-0571
www.crescentcitybrewhouse.com
The freshly brewed beer is the most obvious draw here, where the sampling option lets you try the four regular varieties and the seasonal brew. The menu includes entrees such as the tempura-fried tuna roll, mussels gratinee served with spinach-basil pesto, and the seared redfish topped with fried oysters and black pepper barbecue sauce. Reservations recommended. Lunch and dinner daily. Credit cards. $$

ZEA ROTISSERIE & BREWERY
4450 Veterans Memorial Blvd., Metairie 780-9090
Specialty beers brewed on the premises include the Clearview Light, Zea Lager, and Pontchartrain Porter. Accompany the brew with a hearty meal, such as the Thai ribs, slow-cooked with sesame seeds and cilantro, or the Triple Trout, crusted with sesame, pesto and Zea¹s special bronze seasoning. No reservations. Lunch, dinner and late-night daily. Credit cards. $$
