Ryan Pecot, proprietor of Adopted Dog Brewing, is a successful commercial realtor with Sterling Properties as well as a force in changing the food and entertainment landscape in Lafayette.

When Ryan Pecot, owner and managing partner at Adopted Dog Brewing, found the perfect piece of real estate for a brewery, he hopped on the opportunity. "When I decided to move forward with the project, I had visited roughly 120 breweries in my travels and always felt that Lafayette would greatly benefit from having multiple breweries," he says. "Great towns have great places for people to congregate, and well-executed breweries often foster this type of environment. For a community our size, it was wild to me that there were no breweries within the city limits."

Ryan Pecot, owner of Lafayette's only brewery, says his main goal was to make Lafayette cooler. His love for his dog and love for craft beer inspired him to find a way to move Lafayette forward.

The only brewery located in Lafayette and less than a month old, in fact. So there's not a lot of evidence to go on, but owner Ryan Pecot guessed the flagship 337 lager might be the best-seller once business started picking up. And he has been proven right. "It is a very approachable blonde lager that we infuse with blueberries about halfway through the fermentation process," Pecot says. "It is super light and crushable, which makes it easy to drink while watching any Ragin Cajuns games. We do drop some fresh blueberries in the beer after we pour, which eventually sink to the bottom when finished. Nothing like beer-marinated blueberries to finish off a pint."

Adopted Dog Brewing, located at 329 Dulles Drive, officially opened its doors last week, giving the City of Lafayette a brewery of its own for the first time in years. The craft brewery and restaurant is open Wednesday through Sunday and offers a variety of craft brews, all made in house.

A new Lafayette brewery by the name of Adopted Dog Brewing has announced its opening date. Located at 329 Dulles Drive, Adopted Dog Brewing is the only brewery located in the city of Lafayette�and while they will proudly serve a variety of craft beer that will be brewed in-house, they want customers to know that they are ''so much more.''

To beer, or not to beer, that is the question. Luckily, for Lafayette residents, the answer will be the former.

Tchoup's MidCity Smokehouse's offerings are all 'scratch,' everything freshly prepared from start to finish and of the highest quality. There is no freezer or microwave on site. Food is brought in fresh and cooked fresh. Ryan spoke of how he enjoys doing business with local vendors and fills up a shopping cart of sausage each Tuesday at NuNu's.

Lafayette is getting a new business and this time it is a brewery that is coming to town.
