Loda Bier Garten Named To South’s Best

Garden & Gun featured Downtown Mobile’s LoDa Bier Garten in its “Seven of the South’s Best Beer Bars” article. It explained, “When it first opened in 2011, LoDa (named after its Lower Dauphin Street neighborhood) was pretty much a year-round Oktoberfest with German food and beer. But soon, owner Matthew Golden expanded the menu to include burgers and wings, and general manager Jarvis Ossa blew out the tap list to 102 constantly rotating ales and lagers from all over, including a rapidly emerging local brewing scene. Today—seven days a week—you can get the likes of a Haufbrau Helles lager from Munich, a 2019 Pear Mary sour from Oregon’s renowned Cascade Brewing aged in the on-site keg-cellaring program, or a fresh Hoppy by Nature American IPA from Braided River Brewing just down the street. And when you’re ready to mosey along, you can take the party with you.”
