Abita Brew Pub
We've been fans of Abita's beer since our first sip of Turbodog long ago, but if you want to experience their brews at their freshest, you have to make a trip to the source. The Abita Brew Pub should do nicely. Housed in the same building where Abita originally brewed and bottled its beer — the original tanks are even in view — this laid-back spot serves up the company's full lineup, including Purple Haze, Turbodog, and Restoration, as well as seasonal and harvest beers, a beer selected by the brewmasters, and a guest beer that's brewed elsewhere but beloved by Abita's workers. Of course, they also serve a full menu of food, featuring pub standards like burgers, ribs, sandwiches, and wings, but augmented by local favorites like jambalaya, crawfish, and pecan crusted catfish.
