NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- The old brick building where Dixie Beer was brewed before Hurricane Katrina is vacant. More than two years after the storm flooded it and looters devastated it, the building with its looming tower and ornate iron gates is gutted and surrounded by padlocked fences.

But a century after its founding, the beer is coming back, say Joe and Kendra Bruno, who've struggled to keep the brewery going since buying it in 1986.

"We've worked too hard to give up now," said Joe Bruno. "Dixie is fine, a lot of people want it back on the shelves and so do we."

I love dixie beer and could not understand why they are a small regional brewer and not national.
