Bayou Teche’s brewmaster Karlos Knott says, “Very few bottles of Biere de Mars are brought to the States from France. They are brewed in such small batches and are only released in March (Biere de Mars translates to March beer). These French beers are traditionally crafted at the beginning of winter with the farm’s freshest crop of barley, wheat and hops. The farm’s brewers then spend months aging what they consider their finest beer of the year.” | |
| New brand, CDs, partnerships!
Valcour has overhauled our look, entered into new partnerships for distribution overseas and for joint musical projects here at home, and we are releasing two exciting CDs just in time for Festivals Acadiens and the coming holiday season! | Anthony Bourdain, David Simon and Valcour

In honor of the Mardi Gras season, Arnaudville’s Bayou Teche Brewing is releasing Courir de Mardi Gras, the brewery’s first seasonally produced beer. This limited edition beer honors Acadiana’s rural Mardi Gras traditions and is brewed as a Biere de Mars – a centuries old French style of farmhouse seasonal brew.
Well you may have noticed a calm before, but now it is time for the storm! 
Well we had an interesting weekend! Anthony Bourdain and the No Reservations crew came to Acadiana and filmed a Cajun Country episode. His travels brought him to Lafayette, Breaux Bridge and Eunice. On his trip to Eunice he was treated to a supper at Valcour HQ (otherwise know as Joel’s house.) Linzay Young of the Red Stick Ramblers cooked wood duck in a gravy, Toby Rodriguez cooked a turtle sauce piquante and Kelly Pitre cooked a traditional crawfish bisque. And of course there was plenty of music provided by local Cajun musicians – you know how we do.
