Great Raft Brewing is a brewery in Shreveport, Louisiana.[1][2][3][4][5]

Great Raft Brewing sold its first beer on October 15, 2013, becoming the first brewery to sell beer in the Shreveport-Bossier City area since the beginning of national prohibition in the United States in 1920. Great Raft Brewing maintains a tasting room where patrons (21+) can sample beer just feet from where it was brewed. Free tours are offered on Saturdays at 1, 2 and 3:00 pm CT.

Great Raft Brewing produces four year-round flagship beers and a number of seasonal and small batch beers. Flagship beers are available in 12oz cans, with most seasonal and specialty releases available in 16oz cans.

Great Raft Brewing products are distributed across the Gulf South region, with beer available in Mississippi, the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, east Texas, Little Rock and northwest Arkansas, and across the entire state of Louisiana.
