Brewing news USA, LA: Huckleberry Brewing Company already open in Alexandria

A new brewery has made its way to Alexandria. Huckleberry Brewing Company held its grand opening on Saturday, June 16, KALB News reported on June 17.

The owner and brewer, Jacob Willson, is from Alexandria, but moved to Portland, Oregon sometime after high school. He spent a decade there getting into the brewing business, making and selling his own craft beers.

Now, he's come home and he brought his work with him.

He's got four homemade beers right now, and is selling them in house at their location on Sterkx Road. He's also planning on distributing them out to local restaurants.

Willson said a brewing company is an important business for a growing community.

"If you look at the major cities in Louisiana, they all have breweries,” said Willson. “Even some that are smaller than Alexandria. So I think it was just a natural procession. It's taken a while for us to get it, so I'm glad to be a part of a manufacturing brewery. We're going to have all of our beers sent out to local restaurants and bars, Southwest Beverages is going to be distributing us and we're happy to work with them. They've been a big help. And we hope that you don't have to come here. You can be drinking our beers anywhere around. But we're going to try to have a good time while we're here."

Huckleberry’s will be open to the public on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., Fridays from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturdays from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m.
