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.

Lots of raspberry, but a bit too much sweetness to go with the lager

On tap at First Draft - Minneapolis, pours a cloudy, murky orange with a small white head. Aroma is very oxidized, with bready malt and a touch of toffee. Flavour is along the same lines, with a very oxidized character, with bready malt and toffee. Super weak and cheap barley wine. Poor. I don't understand the target market of beers like this.

Pours a hazy gold color with a small white head and poor retention. Spotty lacing. Faint watermelon aroma. Flavor of light watermelon and club soda with a faint lemon finish. Not much beer flavor. Very crisp; Soda-like. Light body. Easy drinking and refreshing, just not beery enough.

This brew is a hazy golden color with a medium thin white head that recedes quickly to a film. Spotty lace. Melon and citrus aroma with some wheat notes. Light-bodied with flavors of watermelon, lemon and wheat. The finish is mildly tart with a citrus and bready malt aftertaste. Average overall.
