Two issues. Abita, while not trash is not the premium beer they think they are. The fact they demand premium prices over say things from parish or great raft is laughable.

2 wtf are you doing drinking natty light. Come on man, respect yoself.

Seems like the Louisiana equivalent of Shiner Bock or Karbach (which used to be locally owned). It's a premium beer for college students or new beer drinkers, but the taste isn't all that great to be paying much more than a standard domestic.

Have you seen the production capacity of the three breweries you listed?

Abita far surpasses the other two. When you’re a “craft” brewery with that kind of output, you can charge above the median.

But they don't. Abita's flagship beers are $10 at Rouses for a 6pk.

Does Parish even sell 6pks? Their 1 and only flagship is GITM which is $10 for a 4pk.

Abita may be more expensive than Busch and Natty but it's not as bad as some of yall make it out to be and it's much better beer than anything that's $20 for 30pk!
