Paul Read the review below. They have not brewed here since Katrina. Their beers are brewed by Heiner Brau in Covington LA. He brews primarily very traditional German beers-which are also very good tasting beers.
Cheers

I have no idea if they are brewing on site. As near as I could tell, they had four of "their" beers on tap. I had the Pale Ale which was fine, not spectacular - under hopped for my taste. Our service was excellent. Wayne made great food recommendations and food was prompt. Enjoyed all of our food offerings. I noticed growlers behind the bar so I'll have to see what their porter has to offer.

Zea is open and operating in Metairie! I visited on 3/21/07 with a friend for dinner. It was very busy.
I went to the bar first and received prompt and courteous service. Zea's beers are now brewed by Heiner Brau out of Covington, LA. The brewing equipment is still in place at the restaurant but is not operational. All of the 5 beers on tap are lagers-including a Kolsch, Pilsener, Spring Bock among the offerings.
I was served a Spring Bock-it was very light colored with no head. My first thought was uhhhh, what is this? It seemed way too light for a bock but the flavor, aroma and mouthfeel indicated that this was indeed a spring bock. Very nice beer but deceiving in appearence. Next up was the Pilsener. A light brownish color with malty nose and flavors.This is a well done and very quaffable beer. One of the better Pilseners I've had.
The food was great-I had trout with a nice white sauce and shrimp while my companion had a tofu something or other (she liked it!). It's good to see Zea serving good beer and food again. --

They have not brewed beer since Hurricane Katrina. The bartender said they may not do it anymore, which is really dissapointing. That guy from St. Louis is full of it if he says he had a beer in October!!!

I recently ate at Zea's in Lafayette and what they told me was that the Metairie Zea had moved to Kenner and that they were not brewing at the new location. Beats me how the St. Louis guy ate there and had a beer six weeks after Katrina.

My girlfriend and I were both bartenders at Zea for a few years and have to say that I still crave the handcrafted beers. Are they brewing again after the hurricane? Does anyone know how to get in touch with Patrick?

When I walked into this place, I had a preconceived notion that I wouldn't like it...more highbrow that any brewery I've been to. While we waited for a table (see what I mean?!), we got a beer from the bar. Mmm...pretty good. Ah, this place will still suck. We get our table, and one of nicest servers I've had in a long time gets our table. To make a long story short...service was impeccable, beers were very good, and the food...holy sh*t was the food good! When I visit the New Orleans area, I usually eat nothing but muffalettas and poboys for a week. But this place was outstanding. Try the cheesy grits...to die for. Anyway, never trust first ipmressions completely. This place blew me away.

If you don't like fruity beers don't order them. To Jimbo you must like bottled beer. A real beer drinker would not say fresh brewed beers at Zea are horrible. Comment when your a real beer drinker. Not a convenient store shopper. Patrick is an awesome brewmaster!

I love this place. The food is better than any other brewplace I've been to. The bar staff is friendly, and most really seem to know their beer. I tend to stay close to the bar even for dinner, because my beer glass doesn't get a chance to get empty that way!

Though Zea has most everything I look for in a brew pub, delicious beer (and many kinds of it), extremely tasty gourmet food, and a relatively convenient location, something's missing. Maybe it's just a bit too upscale for me or maybe it just lacks ambience, I'm not sure. It's a nice place to go, I just wouldn't go out of my way for it.

I agree with the rebuttal by Jesse A. to the idiot named Jimbo, who said the beers were "extremely horrible." Nonsense. First, if you want to order fruit-flavored beer, don't bitch that they don't taste like beer! Of course they don't, you moron! I've been to Zea's several times; I always go by when I'm in Metairie to have a couple of pints and fill my growler. I recommend the Pontchartrain Porter. The food is unquestionably the best brewpub food I've ever had, far superior to the Crescent City Brewhouse's, I'm sad to say. You can't go wrong with the ribs or the rotisserie chicken at Zea's.

By far the finest brewpub in the New Orleans area. I stopped by on a weeknight and had the following beers.
Lager: darker, unfiltered, very rich with nice malty overtones. Very nice beer.
IPA: served too cold-once it warmed up it was very dry, medium hopped with a good clean, crisp taste.
Strong Ale-Lighter body than the name suggests but more in the American Pale Ale style. well done
Barleywine-served a little too cold. Slightly sweet but not cloying. I think it was spiced. Quite warming. This was a great beer-a 10 oz. serving.
Food-The lamb was excellent. Well spiced and very tender.
If in New Orleans/Metairie, this place is a treat. Enjoy.
