Visiting Abita Brewing Company's Tap Room in Abita Springs, Louisiana

cWhile making campground reservations on the Gulf Coast last year, Eric planned time for a visit to Abita Brewing Company.  Since 2013, we have been drinking Abita Beers as we travel across the US.  It's time to visit the "mother brewery" and celebrate their Craft Beers.





Abita's Tap Room is in
buildings that remind
me of  New Orleans.
 Abita Brewery, established in 1986, is Louisiana's first Craft Brewery.

I love the Abita Beer
Wind Chime.













The Tap Room doesn't take cash.  Credit and Debit Cards, only.  Abita's accounting is efficient.

Kelsey serves Eric samples
 of Abita Beers.






I get sample beers too....  I like Mardi Gras Bock and Rock-N Rye.  Eric likes Turbodog and Rock-N Rye.





Eric & I were invited to
stand behind the bar
for a photo op.






Samples are fine, but Eric and I each want a glass of beer.






It's time to take a seat
at the bar...








Eric gets a flight of beers
that are available on tap.

Some of the selections
aren't available in
bottles.




His choices are: Abita's Experimental Brown Ale with Caramel,  Beeracuda, Limited Edition Horchata Turbodog,  Abita Nitro Oyster Stout and Bad Mother Shucker Stout.  Eric's favorite is Abita's Nitro Oyster Stout.  Nitro Beers are thick, creamy brews that last only as long as the Gas continues to bubble.  I like the Bad Mother Shucker Stout.  




The bartender watches me
taking pictures of individual
beer descriptions & prints
out a copy for me to take
with me.





This is a real time saver for me, and awesome Customer Service.





Grab a game get competitive
while you enjoy Abita Beers.

taught Lake Charles artist.




Abita Brewery sells its sodas here.  Their beers are available in local groceries, including Rouses Markets.

Our Brewery Tour Group is being called....  It's time to join Kelsey and learn about Abita's brewing process.
