Brewed in Arnaudville, Bayou Teche Brewing is releasing the third in their LA-31 series of beers. LA-31 Grenade is brewed with wheat and passion fruit, and it's named for the Cajun French word for the fruit which grows wild around Acadiana.
Brew master Karlos Knott says,"Passion fruit vines grew wild on the fences of our grandfather's farm. It still grows abundantly around our family's crawfish pond and behind the brewery along the banks of the Bayou Teche. As boys, my brothers and I ate a lot of them growing up. Now when they are in season, after a hot day's work we look forward to sitting in the shade of a large oak tree on that bayou, enjoying the pulpy, tropical fruit till we nearly make ourselves sick."
