From its inception less than three years ago, Urban South Brewery has grown to be the third-largest brewer in Louisiana, ubiquitous in bars across the city. Last year, they brewed enough beer to fill 3.6 million cans, though some was of course sold in kegs or in their taproom on Tchoupitoulas Street. After creating dozens of different craft beers over the years, Urban South is releasing two more brews this Friday — two types of “pastry stouts.” “It’s been pretty fast,” said Jacob Landry, the founder and president of the company. Since they opened in a giant former warehouse on Tchoupitoulas, another New Orleans Brewery, Wayward Owl, has already come and gone.
