Local beer being served at the Masters

Bayou Teche Brewing is one of a handful of craft breweries whose beers are being served at this year’s Masters at the Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia.
The brewery’s LA-31 Biere Pale was one of about 10 American craft beers chosen by the tournament to be served in their new hospitality facility.
“We received a call from the folks at Augusta several months ago saying that we had been selected, and inquiring about the possibility of purchasing our LA-31 for the Master’s,” said Karlos Knott, Bayou Teche Brewing’s president.
“We excitedly worked with one of our distributors in Georgia to get kegs of our ale shipped to Atlanta, and then over to Augusta for the tournament.”
This year’s Masters Tournament is April 6-12.
“There are currently just over 3,000 craft breweries in America, to be selected to represent the industry at what is arguably one of the most important sporting events in the world is quite an honor,” Knott said. “Everyone at the brewery is more than excited.”
