I really like Strawgator. Is there a reason that I have never heard this board praise it?

Are all Abita beers beneath this board?

Best beer from Abita for me. Especially @$4.99 for the big one!

Strawgator is okay. Love me some Andygator. No shame in my game.

Abita has a ton of good brews. Their Bourbon St. BBA Series is really underrated. I could drink that coffee variant any day of the year.

The Boot is a really fine Kolsch that is Louisiana only distributed and the perfect Mardi Gras beer.

The Macchiato Espresso Stout is a bargain beer at $3.99 a bomber and tastes great.

We do an Abita tour most Friday’s for New Orleans tourists due to the demand of the consumer. I’m not certain people know how big they are. They brew 150k barrels a year with state of the art equipment which is 10 times bigger than any other Louisiana brewery (Parish is the 2nd highest, and they’re on pace for 15k barrels for 2017).

Most local breweries are putting out better products....

Can't think of one beer abita puts out that I find better or on par with many other options on the shelf.

Abita was the shite 10-15 years ago when there weren't really other local options. Everybody has left them in the dust these days.

I do like Strawgator, Macchiato, and Pecan though.

Andygator is already a sweet lager. Once they add the fake strawberry flavor it becomes too much for my preferences.

My 2nd favorite Abita, after Purple Haze.

It's just too sweet.

This.

Yes. Abita sucks if you live in NOLA and the region. They are more about distro. No way in hell I have their beer in my fridge.

It’s great in about 2 months, when it’s crawfish season.
