Raymond and Mandy Pumilia, the founders of Royal Brewery New Orleans (7366 Townsend Place, 504-723-4151) in New Orleans East, will begin brewing as soon as they receive permits. Their 30-barrel brewhouse is installed and they await final approval from the city fire marshal and*Louisiana*Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control.

Head brewer Michael Ogden, who has been a friend of the Pumilias for 25 years, has brewed beer at Covington Brewhouse and Abita Brewing Company and returned to New Orleans from Austin, Texas to work at Royal Brewery.
