Driving home yesterday I noticed that the sign for North of the Bayou the Restaurant out on Cottage Grove Road had been covered by banners reading "BREWERY" along with another banner advertising North of the Bayou the Brewery opening on the 24th.
It appears North of the Bayou is transitioning from a restaurant that has a brewery to a brewery that serves food. There's even a fancy new website.
I've wondered why the brewery was given virtually no attention at their old website/Facebook page for a while now. While I still don't know, it is nice to see the brewery finally get its due.
The website lists 5 brews on tap: an amber ale, an American wheat ale, two IPAs, and Porterton Pinker. Now wait just a minute. Old IP-Abe is named after Old Abe, the bald eagle that served as mascot of the 8th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War. Didn't Wisconsin Brewing Company have an IPA named after him too? Indeed they did - Yankee Buzzard.
I think that a visit to North of the Bayou is needed.
With Rue Bourre just down the road a piece, Cottage Grove Road is now ground zero for Cajun food in Madison.
