Heard on the Radio: Beer America Goes Dixie for Mardis Gras

At Left Jab, we introduced Mark and David to Joe and Kendra Bruno, owners of the Dixie Brewing Company in New Orleans.

Like that of New Orleans, the story of the Brunos and their legendary brand (which turned 100 in 2007) is one of survival.

We hear what the mood is this year for Fat Tuesday in New Orleans. We also hear some what Dixie has survived and their hopes for the future.

You can hear the segment on Left Jab on XM Satellite Radio's Channel 167 - Saturday at 11 am - repeated Sunday at 1 p.m. or later at http://www.leftjabradio.com/

Also see: Parade Returns, and the Heart of the City Rejoices - Endymion is the krewe of merrymakers that puts on the biggest and most lavish Mardi Gras parade in this Mardi Gras-crazy town, the only parade that traditionally rolls through the decidedly nontouristy neighborhood known as Mid-City. It has been gone after Katrina. But this year, on Saturday, Endymion’s parade will be back in the heart of New Orleans. And people here are thrilled.
