| Saint Street Carnival! | |
 Click the thumbnail for a larger image From The Independent: One of the best things about Mardi Gras is if done correctly the amount of walking you get in is spectacular. They say you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink — untrue at Mardi Gras where an endless amount of jackasses will stumble to the fun and drink all their pocketbooks can withstand. Saint Street Inn is just off of St. Mary and Johnson Street and in perfect stumbling distance from the Krewe of Rio parade. Teaming up with Bayou Teche Bière, Valcour Records and Live in Louisiana, the Saint Street Carnival: Revelry de Rio will offer Courir de Mardi Gras beer and Brazilian BBQ and cocktails. Valcour will be there to sell its newest offering The Best of Valcour Records Vol. 1, which is a great gift to those who couldn’t make it to hang out with you this festival season. Pine Leaf Boys Trio and Corey “Lil’ Pop” Ledet perform. Saint Street Inn is known for its strictly locally purveyed, French bistro-meets-its-South-Louisiana cousin fare. Food will be served up hot, fresh and local all night. Admission to Carnival is free. Fun begins at 5 p.m. so join them before the parade, during or after. Or if you skip the parade altogether, hey, it’s not like you don’t have oodles of beads already at home. | |
| Bayou Tech Brewing and Valcour Release Beer/Music Tandem
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! |

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!
