Lafayette Brewing Company
(8 votes, average: 3.25 out of 5)
Loading ...Affectionately known by locals as just “the brew pub”, the Lafayette Brewing Company has a loyal following of beer aficionados. While this reviewer can’t speak to the beer quality (just vodka for me, thanks), the menu is much better than your average bar food. The Armenian Chicken is a personal fave. The Lafayette Brewing Company is on historic Main Street near the newly renovated Lafayette Theater and walking distance from the downtown Lafayette parking garage. Street parking is available on an “if you can find it, go for it” basis. There is a small lot across the street as well, but it fills quickly.

I went here just his past weekend for my birthday with some friends and family. It was great. We were starving and thirsty after being at the football game and were served drinks right away. Upon bringing our food, the server accidently dropped my sister’s dish. Within ten minutes, they brought her a replacement!
We went here or our college daughter’s birthday. We are not picky eaters, but not one of us could eat more than a bite. The food was AWFUL! We pent $60 and did not touch anything. The food is greasy and the taste was consistently terrible.
I have visited the LBC on several occasions, found the food just so so, the fish and chips weren’t what I expected and the burger was quite rare. The atmosphere is nice but I wasn’t that impressed. I am told that the beer is quite good though.
LBC offers some of the finest craft brewed beers to be found anywhere - including the Pacific Northwest. They are brewed using only the finest malted barley and hops, and they don’t use ANY sugar in the brewing process (contrary to the speculation of earlier reviewers). The beers range in flavor and bitterness according to style - some are going to be bitter, others will be sweeter. Try the sampler set if you aren’t familiar with their products.
The brewco is also the best place in Lafayette to catch great live music. Check out the fantastic local and national acts they bring to town!
We’ve eaten here a few times.. The food is excellent, but the beer is better.. If you are looking for a nice night with an outstanding brew this is the place to go..
