Gnarly BarleyQ: A New Brew is Born

The Gnarly Barley Brewing Co. in Hammond is one of the newest breweries along the Louisiana Brewing Trail. Co-Founder and Brewmaster Zac Caramonta found himself drawn to the sense of community that came with skateboarding as well as the do-it-yourself aspect of building ramps, which ultimately fueled his initiative to build beers. Once the production became too much for their home-brew garage to handle, Zac and Cari Caramonta decided to take the next logical step: turn it into a commercial brewery. Currently operating on two flagship beers, Gnarly Barley has a knack for creativity and bending the rules of brewing when it comes to flavor profiles. While, their Catahoula Common and Radical Rye P.A. have already hit the Baton Rouge, Northshore, and New Orleans markets, this October their Korova Milk Porter steps onto the scene.

As a longtime lover of barbecue and beer, team Bite and Booze is taking Jay D's Louisiana Barbecue Sauce down the road to Hammond on Oct.18th from 1-5pm for the Gnarly BarleyQ. Foaming to the brim with good times, the Gnarly BarleyQ is a grand tour celebration of Gnarly Barley's new release.
