Tin Beer and more
On Saturday, Tin and I decided to stroll over to the Brew Ha Ha on Bayou Road and take a break from all the action and I’m so glad we did. We met the cute young man who is organizing the Broad Street businesses and who started this festival three years ago, the first two it was on top of the old Schwegmann’s that is now going to be the new location of a roof garden and Liberty Kitchen.
We arrived and I got a Perfect Tin beer, it’s a dark beer, but I just can’t pass up the name.
Then we listened to the Blues Band playing and after we walked to the Community Book Center where the owner read Tin a great book in such a dramatic fashion, I decided not to buy the book because I could never re-enact what she performed. Then we walked over to Domino’s Records, a great vinyl store. But we were called outside once more as the Zion Trinity Band went on and started blowing our minds with their reggae dancing jamming heartfelt tunes.
We cruised back home and I thought about the smaller festivals that don’t attract large crowds but pop up on surprisingly beautiful days here in New Orleans and just exist to please.

Thank you for coming out to the Brewhaha on Bayou Road. I am not the young man that you speak of, I am his very good friend, and we are both happy you and Tin enjoyed the time you spend out on Bayou Road. Hope you visit the area again soon.

Indeed – while everyone is over there shoulder to shoulder for PoBoy Fest – the real thing, a New Orleans experience, Brew Ha Ha was across town the day before – next year instead.
