Louisiana Breweries History: Tujagues Restaurant
Tujague's is the 2nd oldest restaurant in New Orleans having opened
in the 1850's. Tujagues Restaurant was in existence before "New Orleans"
even bore its name, and having served as a Spanish armory, Tujague’s restaurant
has survived decades of war, depression, fire and plague.
It is located in the heart of the french quarter, facing the
historic french market.
New Orleans was founded in 1719. The name "New Orleans" comes
from the orginal name "La Nouvelle Orléans"which is the proper name of
the city. Americans, who bought the colony in 1803 gave it an anglised
name but they did that long before Tujagues open its door.
The Tujagues Restaurant Beer was brewed and bottled by the Acadian
Brewing Company which was located in New Orleans Louisiana and went out of
business in 2002.
