When UL Lafayette began looking for a company to produce a craft beer that could bear the RaginСAPP CajunsСAPP name, it wanted a Louisiana brewery, preferably one in Acadiana. It also wanted a brewery that would offer an original recipe, not jut put a label on an existing product.
In addition to Louisiana rice, the Kölsch-style beerСAPPs ingredients include barley and multiple additions of German-grown noble hops. That combination has been described by Karlos Knott as СAPPa magnificent balance of hop bitterness, taste and aroma. It is an easy drinking beer perfect for tailgating in our hot and humid climate.СAPP
The craft beer was launched on tap in September and in bottles in late October. Bayou Teche Brewing is expanding its facility to keep up with customer demand for it.
