There are few things more uniquely New Orleans than brass bands, second lines, seafood boils, and cold beverages. Join us on October 13th to experience all of these things in one perfectly combined networking extravaganza at NOLA Brewing Co! For this event you’ll enjoy a traditional Louisiana gulf shrimp boil, complete with crawfish mac n’ cheese, and muffaletta sandwiches. We’ll be pairing lunch with an endless supply of NOLA Brewing’s craft beers and seltzers, along with a selection of non-alcoholic beverages. 

After lunch Derrick Freeman’s seven piece SOUL Brass Band will light up the brewery stage, performing local classics along with original tracks. We’ll even break out into a second line during the show! No experience required. Small group tours of the brewing space will be available throughout the event as well.
