[Dixielandjazz] Beer (with Jazz content)

[George Thurmond]

	Way back two or three or more decades ago beer was brewed right
down in the French Quarter, about two blocks off Canal and between
Bourbon and Royal.  It was the Dixie brand, and had the wonderful site
of being across the street from an oyster bar.  The oysters on the half
shell were big and sumptuous, but the beer, frankly, was not that great.
The oyster bar was the place to be in the wee morning hours on the way
to the room after an evening in the OLD Quarter. (OLD Quarter, i.e.,
George Lewis's band at the Morocco, Sharkey and the Original Dukes at
the Famous Door, Tony Almerico's boys at the Parisian Room, Celestin and
Picou at the Paddock, etc.)
