Urban South Brewery has announced the return of Mardi Gras Pils, a limited-edition American Pilsner created in partnership with iconic New Orleans clothing brand Perlis.

Returning in early November ahead of the 2027 Carnival season, the seasonal release marks the third consecutive year of collaboration between the two local brands, bringing together New Orleans’ brewing traditions and signature Mardi Gras style.Since its debut, Mardi Gras Pils has become a seasonal favorite, combining Urban South’s crisp, refreshing American Pilsner with Perlis’ longstanding connection to New Orleans culture and Carnival traditions. This year’s early release gives locals and visitors an opportunity to enjoy the collaboration ahead of the Carnival season, which begins in January.

“Over the past three years, our partnership with Perlis has become something we look forward to bringing back each Carnival season,” said Kyle Huling, Co-Founder & Vice President of Urban South Brewery. “Both of our brands have strong ties to New Orleans, and Mardi Gras Pils is a great example of how local businesses can come together to create something that reflects the city’s traditions. We’re excited to bring it back early this year and give people a head start on celebrating Mardi Gras.”

Mardi Gras Pils will be available beginning in November at Urban South Brewery’s New Orleans taproom and through distribution across Urban South’s markets. Supporters can also use the Urban South Beer Finder to locate Mardi Gras Pils at retailers near them.
