Bayou Teche Brewing in Arnaudville is introducing a limited-edition ale to kick off Mardi Gras weekend: A breakfast stout brewed with boudin.

According to a press release from the brewery, the ale is brewed with locally roasted coffee from Art's Coffee Roasters and cane syrup, and the boudin was added twice during the process: once in the mash, and again toward the end of the boiling of unfermented beer.

Breakfast stouts are usually made with various types of food, but brewmaster Brian Broussard said he believes this is the first to be made with boudin.
