Abita Brewing Co

Founded in 1986, Abita was the first craft brewery to open in the Southeast. Today, we produce barrels of beer annually in a range of great tasting, unpretentious styles including Abita Amber, Purple Haze, and Wrought Iron IPA. Located just north of New Orleans, we recently completed a three-year,$30 million state-of-the-art expansion of the brewery that will increase our capacity to barrels while introducing groundbreaking environmental advancements to the brewing process. Abita uses only the finest ingredients – British and North American malted barley, German and American yeast strains, Pacific Northwest hops and the pure artesian water of Abita Springs.
