Review:
Crying Eagle Brewing Company’s name is a translation of the indigenous Atakapa term Quelqueshue, which was also used in naming the region’s Calcasieu River. The brewery was opened in 2016 by Eric Avery and offers a 1,500-square-foot brewhouse and beer garden that is open to the public Wednesdays through Saturdays, with public tours offered on Friday and Saturday afternoons and evenings.
Flagship brews include its Pistol Bridge Porter, Louisiana Lager, Ready to Mingle Belgian-style Single, and Hop Blooded IPA, while specialty beers include a seasonal Strawberry Rye and a Calcasieu Common Ale. Light pub fare is served at the Bistro at Crying Eagle, including pizzas, panini sandwiches, and bar appetizers.
