Owners of the Cane River Brewing Co. are Cade Gentry and Justin Krouse. Krouse said
patrons of the brewery can expect great things on the horizon. This month will see producting
moving to Shreveport, then later moving to the Alexandria, Leesville areas. Along with
a few new beers featured on opening night, there will also be a new “Pub Crawl Beer” to be
featured at this year’s NYP Pub Crawl, set for Saturday, March 16. “It’s so wonderful seeing
all of the support on our opening day, and it’s been great seeing so many come in since the
soft opening last year,” said Gentry.
When the Natchitoches Chamber of Commerce hosted the ribbon cutting ceremony for Cane River Brewing Co. Thursday, Jan. 31, many came out to show support by trying its products and sitting for a spell to catch up with friends. Located in the refurbished cotton gin building on Mill Street, the brewery had its soft opening around Thanksgiving of last year, but Thursday was the official grand opening. They are open from 4-11 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 11 a.m. – midnight Saturday, noon-8 p.m. Sunday and closed Monday-Wednesday.
