Abita Beer (Abita Amber, Purple Haze, Turbo Dog, etc.) is brewed right across the Lake in Abita Springs. They have FREE tours 4 days a week. Which means if you are interested you can drink (good) free beer for a hour while you learn about how beer is made in Louisiana. Me and a fellow first year MBA went on Saturday morning for the 11 am tour. Nothing quite like lagers, bocks, and IPAs before noon.
It took me 6 months to make the trip (across the longest bridge in the world [I’m pretty sure]) to the brewery. It wont take me another 6 months to get back there.
