Wife and I drove into New Orleans for the day and made a stop at Care Forgot Beercraft on St Charles Ave. Connor Martinez is over here pumping out great beer. I got the Fo Ya Momemnnem Lager and the Parran's Pale Ale.
The beer list is a wide variety of beers with names that are inspired by Martinez's New Orleans upbringing. In addition to Fo Ya Momemnnem and Parrans they have names like Steiny The Elder(for of course Dan Stein), Dark Roux, Fess and Biere Des Allemonds.
If you get hungry while crushing all these beers they also have a small pizza menu. The pizza's are personal pan pizzas with a sour dough crust and they have Margherita, Pepperoni, Tomato with Anchovy and a Lemon Garlic White. Honestly, at this point if you are opening a brewery and don't have food good luck. It's the best way to keep asses in the seats.
Care Forgot's location is also perfect. Situated next to famed craft beer bar Avenue Pub on St. Charles, it's conveniently on the streetcar line and just a short walk from Courtyard Brewing and Ecology. Mardi Gras is going to be wild for these guys and a perfect spot for craft beer drinkers during parades
Having been away from New Orleans for the past 10 years, it's awesome to see so many breweries still popping up in the city. This day and age it's tough to open a brewery in general and to do it in New Orleans has to be even tougher. If you haven't had a chance to grab some pints from Connor make sure you stop in!
