Big Beers in Big Bottles Are Here

Big News From Abita Beer

The big day has finally arrived; it’s the debut of Abita’s new “Big Beers in Big Bottles”. The bottles are big, a full 22 ounces and so are the beers, both with an alcohol by volume content of 8%. Look for Andygator and the new Abbey Ale in restaurants, bars and at your favorite store.

Andygator is a creature of the swamp, a unique high-gravity brew made with pale malt, German lager yeast and German Perle hops. Unlike other high-gravity brews, Andygator is fermented to a dry finish with a slightly sweet flavor and subtle fruit aroma. Reaching alcohol strength of 8% by volume, it is a Helles Dopplebock.

Abbey Ale honors the ancient tradition of monks who perfected the art of brewing beer to support the monastery and the brother with their “liquid bread”. We offer up our support and thank them with a 25-cent donation to St. Joseph’s Abbey with every bottle of this heavenly brew. Dark amber in color, the aroma of caramel, fruits and cloves invite you to contemplate the creamy head of this “Dubble” or double ale with an 8% ABV. Abita Abbey Ale is a malty brew, top-fermented and bottle aged to rapturous perfection.

These big 22 ounce bottles are perfect to serve with a meal or share with a friend. Experience Andygator in a bottle for the first time and get a taste of our newest creation, Abita Abbey Ale. Look for them both in these locations:

I vote for the cream ale from your select series to be bottled next! That was absolutely phenomenal when I had it!

I have got to say I love Abbey Ale. I have not tried it until tonight, when I bought it (along with two Andygators) from a local store. I'm am so glad to see this beer at local stores bottled. The 22.oz is the perfect size. THANKS Abita.

PLEASE tell me this is not a seasonal stunt! I've been waitin' for Andygator to be bottled for awhile, and I've been hooked on Belgian brews ever since visiting the country years ago. I'm currently trying the Abbey Ale for the first time and it's absurdly great! Thanks Abita!!!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put your 20th anniversary pilsner in big bottles. I have had a few thousand different beers in my time and that still stands out as one of the nicest brews ever!!!

I just bought the Abita Abbey Ale from Rouse's in N.O. It is a superb product. The caramel colour and taste are perfect. You should do a TV commercial on it. Views of the abbey with monks brewing and tasting it would be great.

We are proud residents of Abita Springs and feel like ambassador's
of Abita beer. When we travel and patronize places that serve Abita brew we usually receive a reception sort of like we represent the brewery when they learn we are from Abita. Its great .........
