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.

Bottle, $2 from Chalet Premier. Pour is big and black, large and in charge. Creamy tan head fades to pond scum. Nose is all bananas and no stout, interestingly sweet. Big heavy impy stout impact on the taste buds followed up by a bruising banana bang, very unique fer sher. Volatile palate, does not hide alky smash. Quite a crashing turbulent slamming jolt, whew. Not as pastry as many domestic pastry stouts but pastry none the less. Yes, like whisky laced banana pie. Can't find any walnuts or ice cream, but bumping bananas fer sher. Mouth coating unstable and uneasy. I bet Richard Foster, Owen Brennan and the New Orleans Crime Commission would appreciate this mess of an alky bomb. Extra point for the brain numbing effects.

Draught. Not sure if a bad keg or what, but a weak, caramel/malty maibock without nearly enough carbon or hops.
