Our tour begins in our tasting room, where you can sample various brews that makes our brewery so successful. We begin in our dry storage warehouse. This is where all the shipping and receiving takes place and where its best to describe out ingredients that make our beer so tasty. There are only two other exceptions, our wheat beer and purple haze, in which we add wheat and raspberries.
Water is the main ingredient in beer.
We are blessed with water that not only tastes great but also has the proper mineral content and PH level for making great beer. Abita Brewing Company draws its artesian water from a deep well straight into the mashtun. We do not alter the pristine water in any way. The great majority of breweries have to filter and chemically treat their water. A beers color and taste is determined largely by the amount and type of malt used.
