Sorry. Fairhope, Alabama. Excellent amber ale and my all time favorite coffee stout (Judge Roy Bean).

Also consider Lazy Magnolia in Kiln, MS. Neither is too far off of I-10.

And while you're in La., consider driving across the Pontchartrain to the Abita brewery. It's still pretty new and shiny and makes some wonderful product. There's an excellent shop there as well. I found a very nice pub in downtown Covington too and there are other breweries in Covington, although I did not visit them.
