Founded in 1986, 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. By 1994, Abita outgrew the original site (now Abita's 100 seat brew pub) and were forced to move up the road to a larger facility to keep up with demand. By 1996, Abita had brewed 33,500 barrels of beer and 3,000 barrels of root beer, and was still growing! Abita's lagers and ales are still brewed in small batches, hand-crafted by a team of dedicated workers with only the highest ideals of quality. Abita uses only the finest ingredients - British and American barley, German yeast, European and Washington State hops and the pure artesian water of Abita Springs. Abita is blessed with the purest of water. Drawn from deep wells, the pristine water is not altered in any way. Abita Beer has no preservatives, additives or stabilizers and is cold filtered. The result is beer that is the finest and freshest tasting as proven by Abita's loyal customers and great chefs of the south who use Abita Beer in their recipes. Try Abita Beer today and taste a bit of the South!
