“Brewery Saint X is not your average brewery. With a sleek interior, an excellent menu, and lots of beer to try out, this is great for a date night, pre-gaming, or just exploring the latest in New Orleans’ culinary scene.”

Chef Shannon Bingham’s culinary offerings encompass craveable, shareable dishes like smoked wings, confit beef cheeks, and housemade charcuterie, with the smoker as a throughline between Saint X and its adjacent sibling, Devil Moon BBQ. “With so many smoked meats to work with, Saint X’s patrons will benefit from the shared kitchen,” says Bingham, “and the menu will showcase ingredients through the lens of Southern, and specifically New Orleanian, cuisine, with the goal of providing the perfect counterpart for the beers, wines, and cocktails.”
​
The wine list places an emphasis on responsibly sourced, small production vintners and runs the gamut from atypical styles to old favorites. Craft cocktails and frozens utilize spirits from smaller distillers, leaning into unexpected flavors and playful twists on Louisiana mainstays.
The X Factor
Brewery Saint X is the brainchild of NRG Beer Director Greg Engert and Founder and CEO Michael Babin.
​
For Greg, Brewery Saint X carries a brewing mission that he’s been working towards for many years. “When I started my career in craft beer twenty years ago, I was drawn not only to the innovative spirit of brewing, but also to its history. While we’re excited to showcase a wide array of styles at Saint X, it’s the classics that we’re most interested in honoring.”
Ro Guenzel, Director of Brewing Operations for NRG, has designed the brewery to support this mission. Saint X’s brewing program allows for decoction mashing, open fermentation, long lagering times and krausening for natural carbonation, all techniques that encourage flavor complexity coupled with remarkable drinkability. Through careful ingredient selection, sourcing from the Pacific Northwest and the Southern Hemisphere Saint X will maximize flavor nuance. In addition to hop sourcing from the Pacific Northwest and the Southern Hemisphere, our brewing team will showcase singular German hops in classic lager styles. Careful incorporation of small batch, American craft malts from Virginia and North Carolina will bring sustainable ideals and impressive flavors to a host of the offerings as well.
