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.

*Bottle from Schneiders Getränke, Köln. Dark malts, molasses, still refreshing. Nice brown Ale with hints of roasted hazelnuts, round malts and a nice but smooth bitter hoppy ending. Easy to drink, deep with a full malty fruity roasted body, nice.

Bottle. Pours dark brown. Aroma is strong milky chocolate and toffee, chocolate sauce. Body is rather light and thin, with a strong carbonation and almost no flavours anymore. Disappointing!

Bottle: Cloudy, yellow-gold with a foamy white head. Sour/lactic, wheat and lime scent. Taste is, again....really lactic....lime....grains. A little briney sea salt, wheat malt. Would be pretty satisfying if not for the milky slickness and slight tang.... as it is, it’s tolerable....but just.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is not much. Some lime if you really stick your nose down into the glass. Flavor is salty and sweet. Again not much lime and there is a odd butterscotch aftertaste. Not real good.

Sample at Barley Hopsters. The beer pours a hazy yellow-gold color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of citrus, yeast and malt. Light-bodied with a tart citrusy character and notes of salt, doughy malt and a bit of hops. The finish is mildly tart with a lime aftertaste. Decent overall.
