re: Abita Beer

Abita can make a good beer but the problem is all their mass distributed beers suck fricking arse.

Amber
Jockamo
Purple haze
Andy gator

All Pathetic beers but they are everywhere in the U.S.

Solid abita beers:
Bourbon st. Stout
Oyster stout
Wraught Iron ipa
Imperator
Macchiato (haven't tasted this one but heard its good from people's opinion I respect)
Grapefruit ipa

So to conclude its not like Abita cant make a good beer. The problem is 90% of what they distribute sucks arse.

I recently saw wrought iron in Florida so was happy to see that. They need to just destroy the Jockamo. Literally one of the worst ipa I've had in my life.

Jockamo might be the worst thing I've ever drank. Interesting that it's the Mardi Grad brew.. Because it tastes like New Orleans post-parade street gutter water.

Amber isn't bad.

Seriously none of ya'll fricks ever had turbodog?

Amber isn't awful for what it is. But Amber beers in general are pretty bland in taste.

Zealot pretty much nailed it.
For far too long Abita has been run by bean counters interested in profits. They have rarely done much interesting. Seems they are trying to get a little better lately.

Abita has sucked arse since they claim to own the phrase "pub crawl" and have stopped charity fund raisers who dared to use the phrase in their event literature.

frick Abita.

Drank it all the time in college

Well up here we don't have the variety as down there as far as selection. Turbo is the darkest.

Their new oatmeal stout, Naughty Quaker, was pretty dang good. I haven't seen it in bottles though, just on tap.
