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.

Louisiana Spiced Ale from Abita Brewing Company
9 years ago
5.4/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
Bottle, gushed when lid was popped. Yes, has the mildly enticing smell of spicy food. Looks like pale lager. Taste is a little disappointing, was expecting some heat, you know, like franks red hot er sumthin? Drinking yields maybe, just maybe, a little bit of spice; but you really have to look for it. Tastes pretty much like any cheap pale lager. Even the ale attributes are muted. Man, I’ve had so many other beers that really did provide a heat kick, this is a little bit of a let down; false advertising!

Blueberry Wheat from Abita Brewing Company
9 years ago
4.6/10 — Appearance 3 Aroma 7 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 4
Bottle pictured. Smells like blueberry ice cream. Mostly pale yellow. Had high hopes for a gentle civilized hefe-like blueberry drink; but this confirms my stereotype of wheat ales. Near the end the nose goes a little sweet & cloying. Ale’s it is, bitter and a little offensive. Yes, typical wheat ale attitude. It mixes in with the blueberry and the cutting co2, not bad overall, about average for a fruit beer, but it is what it is.

I was expecting an amber ale, not an amber lager, and was generally disappointed with the results. There were some nice honey, nougat and caramel aromas, but the palate was thin and the taste dominated by raw grains and a fairly unpleasant

5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5
Bottle from Js. Pours a clearish straw with a small white head that dissipates quickly. Skunky pils nose with grainy water aromas. Thin and watery on the palate. Very American wheat-like. Not much lime or salt. Watered down. Pass.
