Urban South Brewery Rolls Out Mardi Gras Pils Ahead of Carnival Season in 2026

Urban South Brewery is excited to announce the limited return of Mardi Gras Pils, a collaboration with New Orleans' iconic clothing brand Perlis, timed for the 2026 festival season. Celebrated for its clean, crisp taste, this beer showcases the tradition and spirit of Mardi Gras.

The initial 2025 release quickly became a fan favorite, uniting Perlis' unmistakable New Orleans style with Urban South's expertly crafted Pilsner. The partnership demonstrated the strength of blending the city's rich traditions with modern craft brewing, creating a significant cultural impact.

"Mardi Gras Pils is a celebration of New Orleans, culture and carnival in every pour," said Kyle Huling, Co-Founder of Urban South Brewery. "Bringing back our partnership brew with Perlis in 2026 allows us to showcase the impact of local collaborations and continue to give our audience the unique beers they enjoy."

Mardi Gras Pils is available now in the Urban South taproom and distributed across Urban South's markets.
