Great Raft Brewing is a brewery in Shreveport, LA. Great Raft Brewing sold its first beer on October 15, 2013, becoming the first brewery to sell beer in the Shreveport-Bossier City area since the beginning of national prohibition in the United States in 1920. Great Raft Brewing maintains a tasting room where patrons (21+) can sample beer just feet from where it was brewed. Free tours are offered on Saturdays at 1, 2 and 3:00 pm CT.
Great Raft Brewing produces three year-round flagship beers and a number of seasonal and small batch beers. Cans of the flagships are sold in cans across North Louisiana and New Orleans. Special releases and seasonals are packaged in 22 oz bottles. Great Raft Brewing beers can be found on draft and in package across North Louisiana and New Orleans.
