Canebrake

Tap to rate

Honey-sweet remnants of Louisiana sugarcane meet a citrus note on the finish from Cascade hops, and the wheat ale drinks crisp, malty and easy. Canebrake was the first beer Parish ever sold, named for the cane fields in the area, and it is brewed with sugarcane syrup. Cascade hops from a favorite farm in Oregon supply the citrus.
