DRINK THE FRESHEST 318
IN THE AREA CODE

Every March 18th- "318 Day" - Great Raft Brewing takes a moment to honor the beer that celebrates its heritage - 318 Golden Ale. This year, drink 318 Golden Ale canned on 3/18 - undoubtedly the freshest beer in town!


Great Raft is brewing up something special for 318 Day. On March 18th,  beer drinkers will be able to find 318 Golden Ale canned and delivered the same day at a variety of participating retail locations. 

“We want to celebrate by offering customers beer as fresh as we drink it here at the brewery. Our production team will start kegging and canning over 600 cases at 1AM the morning of Monday, March 18th. We’ve partnered with Eagle Distributing to deliver super fresh beer throughout the area for a unique offering that has never been done before. The logistics are tricky, but we know it’s worth it, all in the name of fresh beer,” says Andrew Nations, Co-Founder and President of Great Raft Brewing.

WHAT IS 318 GOLDEN ALE?

It's not just March 18th. Not three eighteen. Not three hundred and eighteen. It's THREE ONE EIGHT! 318 Day celebrates Great Raft's heritage and our most popular beer - 318 Golden Ale.

318 Golden Ale is brewed to pay homage to the brewery’s backyard – the 318 area-code – and embodies Great Raft Brewing’s appreciation and enthusiasm for North Louisiana.  It is a light, refreshing and easy-drinking beer made with orange peel and locally-sourced honey.
