Abita Brewing Co.
Two decades ago in downtown Abita Springs a beer was born. The vision for the original Abita Beer from 20 years ago remains unchanged today. Using Abita Springs famous artesian water and the finest ingredients to make a beer of the highest quality and flavor are the secrets to Abita’s success. Abita Golden and Amber were the first beers produced by Louisiana’s original microbrewery, the Abita Brewing Company, housed in what is now the Abita Brew Pub on Levenson Street in the heart of Abita Springs. Today there are six flagship brews, five seasonal brews and numerous specialty brews produced. The sixth flagship brew, Fleur-de-lis Restoration Ale, was added shortly after Hurricane Katrina. Proceeds from the sale of Restoration Ale, are used to assist the survivors of the hurricane. The original five flagship brews are Abita Amber, Light, Purple Haze, Turbodog and Golden.

This dark ale compliments American meals such as roast turkey with stuffing or grilled cheese sandwiches. |
Abita Purple HazeABV: 4.7% |

A crisp, American-style wheat beer with fresh raspberries added during secondary fermentation. The raspberries provide the lager with a subtle purple coloration and haze. The fruity aroma and tartly sweet taste have made it one of the brewery's most popular year-round beers. |
