About
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.

7.5/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Oak, bourbon, and caramel nose. Cloudy rust, thick orange head, nice lace. Caramel, oak, bourbon. Pecan finish. Medium body, easy carbonation. Quite drinkable, a bit more bourbon than I like, but nice nutty base beer.

Sampled from a 12 oz can this beer poured a honey amber color with a large foamy orange tan head that lingered and left minimal lacing. The aroma was yeasty, tangy and a bit off. The flavor was tangy and sweet with caramel and bread. Long finish. Medium body. Meh.

650ml bottle into shaker. Cloudy orange beer with thin foamy white head. Patchy lacing. High carbonation with floaties. Nose is sweet caramel toffee. Taste is sweet malt and toffee. Alcohol is noticeable in the slightly sour & fruity finish. Not bad, but nothing special.

Cinnamon, vanilla, graham cracker nose. Hazy brown, thick tan head, good lace. Vanilla, cocoa, cinnamon. Medium body, soft carbonation. Spices are present but tasteful in a supporting role. Well done, not a spice bomb.

Wrought Iron IPA from Abita Brewing Company

bottle - Hazy orange pour, smells mainly of citrusy hops. The flavor is appropriately big on the hops bitterness with citrus and tropical fruit notes and a caramel malt background. Medium bodied. Good.

12oz bottle. Hazy unfiltered orange-tan body. Thin, fading, white head. Big key lime aroma. Rather concise medium body, not a lot of depth. Somewhat sharp, dry, salty. Pretty decent offering.
