Abita Brewing Company was founded in 1986 and has become the state’s top craft brewery today, producing more than 151,000 barrels of small-batch beer annually at its Covington brewhouse. All preservative-free brews are crafted with pure artesian water from nearby Abita Springs, with many emphasizing unique fruit flavors. The brewery has become nationally renowned for year-round brews such as its Purple Haze Raspberry Lager, Big Easy IPA, and Strawgator Strawberry Harvest Lager.
Limited-edition and seasonal beers include its Christmas Ale, Creole Cream Ale, and Mardi Gras Bock, while craft non-alcoholic sodas include its Pecan Pie Soda, Vanilla Cream Soda, and Abita Root Beer. Its visitor center and taproom offers guided tours seven days a week, while its full-service Abita Brewpub serves a variety of unique American fare.
