Covington Brewhouse was a craft brewery situated in the heart of Covington, Louisiana, housed within the historic Alexius Hardware building close to prominent city attractions.
Its portfolio included flagship beers available throughout the year, such as Pontchartrain Pilsner, Bayou Bock, and Strawberry Ale, complemented by seasonal varieties and contract brewing services for dining establishments across Covington, New Orleans, and neighboring areas. Significantly, the brewery temporarily produced Dixie beer after Hurricane Katrina caused damage to the original Dixie brewing facilities.
Established in 2005 under the name Heiner Brau by local builder Fritz Schroth, it ranked as Louisiana’s third brewery launched after Prohibition, following Abita and Crescent City Brewhouse. From its founding, Covington Brewhouse increased its brewing output and actively participated in local festivals including Taps on the Trace and Rockin' the Rails.
On January 25, 2019, Covington Brewhouse ceased operations after being sold to new proprietors who have not yet disclosed their intentions for the location.
