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.You know I have to give Abita credit for an original beer, which is not very common today. (It's not a freakin IPA). Tasty, spicy, just good.

Bottle. Gold in color. I really like blueberries and they seem to go really well with beer. Nice stuff.

Bottle. What a shock. This beer is actually pretty good. Didn't sound like it would be good, but it was.

Bottle. As a kid who grew up in the south, this beer brought back memories. Pulling honey suckle was a summer thing every kid did. Thank you Abita for this beer.
