Description
The Abita Brewing Company is nestled in the piney woods 30 miles north of New Orleans. In its first year, the brewery produced 1,500 barrels of beer. We had no idea what we started. Customers loved our beer! By 1994, we outgrew the original site (now our 100-seat brew pub) and moved up the road to a larger facility to keep up with demand.

We brew more than 125,000 barrels of beer and 13,500 barrels of soda of in our state-of-the-art brewing facility. Our lagers and ales are brewed in small batches, hand-crafted by a team of dedicated workers with only the highest ideals of quality. This pride, along with our brewing process, is what creates our great brews.

We are privately owned and operated by local shareholders, many who have been with us since day one.

Can from day 24 of the Beer Republic Advent calendar, 9%, drink after routing the neck and MM cavities on the new bass. Packaged, i think June 2025, yikes. Light hazy gold, nice head, citrus nose with sharp and caramalt hints. Mandarine orange fits with the gator theme, big bitterness with a mild pleasant bite. Not too sweet. Good one despite its age - well it's imperial after all.
