Honor a storied New Orleans beer name with this Faubourg Brewing embroidered dad cap hat. Founded as Dixie Brewing Company in 1907, the brewery built a lasting connection to the city, first at its Tulane Avenue home and later through its return to local brewing in 2019. The 2020 transition to Faubourg and the 2024 closure announcement make the name especially meaningful to collectors tracking regional breweries and the landmarks tied to their history.
Founded by Valentine Merz in New Orleans on October 31, 1907, the brewery began as Dixie Brewing Company. Its original brick building at Tulane Avenue and Tonti Street was designed by architect Louis Lehle and completed that year; a wooden extension followed in 1919. During Prohibition, the business became Dixie Beverage Company. Sold to Coy International in 1983, it was purchased by Joseph and Kendra Elliott Bruno in 1985, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1989, and reorganized in 1992. Its beer lineup later included Blackened Voodoo, Crimson Voodoo, and Jazz Amber Light. Hurricane Katrina flooding severely damaged the Tulane Avenue brewery in 2005, ending production there. Beer was contract brewed in Monroe, Wisconsin, then in Memphis, Tennessee, before brewing returned to New Orleans in November 2019. A new facility opened to the public in 2020. In November 2020, the company announced its transition from Dixie Brewing Company to Faubourg Brewing Company; the signage changed in 2021. After the May 2024 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, the company announced it would close and auction equipment from its New Orleans plant.
