We really enjoyed our visit to the Abita brewery. The staff was very friendly and the self guided tour was fun, albeit short. They have a full array of Abita merchandise in all sizes. Their taproom has all current brews on tap and they do free samples . Note that they sell very few flavors of beers/drinks at the brewery to make sure they aren't competing with their local retailers and distributors. If you like beer, you should go! And if you're an Abita fan, you must go!
