Bayou Teche Brewery
One of rural Acadiana’s most detour-worthy destinations is Arnaudville’s Bayou Teche Brewing—known for creatively-crafted beers with distinctly regional influence, delicious wood-fired pizza, and for throwing a damn good party. In April, the bonafide institution announced that it would be joining the collective of local businesses in downtown Lafayette next year, with a second location on the ground floor of the future Hotel Lafayette, set to open at the location of the former Don’s Seafood sometime in 2026. The 4,500 square-foot site will maintain all of the Teche traditions: on-site beer production, the Cajun Saucer’s menu, and a rotation of live music. bayoutechebrewing.com.
