Abita Beer Introduces New Satsuma Brew
Abita Satsuma Harvest Wit In Stores Now

Made with real Louisiana Satsumas, golden wheat, oats and the finest barley, Abita Satsuma Harvest Wit is the newest creation of the Abita Brewing Company.  Pale and cloudy, like the haze on a hot summer day, this white beer has a sweet and subtle citrus flavor with a touch of spice that is cool and refreshing.

“Satsuma Harvest Wit is the newest addition to our Harvest series of brews,” said David Blossman, President of the Abita Brewing Company.  “Just like the native strawberries and nuts used in Abita Strawberry and Pecan Harvest, we used real Louisiana-grown Satsuma citrus harvested at their peak to create this new brew,” stated Blossman.  “Abita Satsuma Harvest Wit is a perfect summertime brew and will be offered between Abita Strawberry Harvest in the spring and Abita Pecan Harvest in the fall.” 

Available For A Limited Time Only

Abita Satsuma Harvest Wit is brewed in limited quantities and available for a limited time only.  Consumers should look for Abita Satsuma Harvest Wit where they normally shop for Abita Beer or use the store locator at Abita.com to find a nearby location.  

Abita Satsuma Harvest Wit is very versatile and can compliment a number of dishes. This brew pairs well with salads, fish, shrimp and lobster, as long as the dishes are not too spicy. Thai dishes, which often have citric notes in their flavor profile, would also perfectly compliment the orange flavors in Abita Satsuma Harvest Wit.

Abita Beer Is Always Louisiana True

Abita Satsuma Harvest Wit and all other Abita brews, including Amber, Turbodog, Jockamo I.P.A., Purple Haze and Restoration Ale are crafted at the Abita Brewing Company facility in Abita Springs.  Abita Beer has no preservatives, additives or stabilizers and each batch is hand crafted to create brews that are always Louisiana True.

The Abita Brewing Company was founded in Abita Springs, Louisiana in 1986 and is the first and largest craft brewer in the southeast. Abita is the 30th largest commercial brewer by production volume in the nation and the 19th largest craft brewer in the United States, and is distributed in nearly 40 states across the country. Sales for the company should exceed 85,000 barrels this year.

NEW PRY-OFF CROWN KEEPS ABITA BEER FRESHER      NEW PRY-OFF CROWN KEEPS ABITA BEER FRESHER
Technology keeps oxygen out and protects flavor

(Abita Springs, LA)  The Abita Brewing Company has introduced new technology designed to keep Abita Beer fresher by blocking oxygen intrusion into the bottles.  The process introduces innovative barrier crown technology to all Abita brews.  The new pry-off crown offers an increased barrier to oxygen due to its density and the special properties of the crown liner.  Oxygen is the enemy of beer and causes it to lose a significant amount of the flavor compounds that are essential to taste.

“We always search for ways to bring the freshest tasting Abita Beer to the consumer,” said David Blossman, President of Abita Beer.  “This new cap technology makes a significant improvement on oxygen intrusion and convinced us to let go of the old twist-off cap,” continued Blossman.  “Our motto is quality before quantity and these new caps will help us to continue bringing the highest quality Abita beer to our customers.”  

Minute amounts of oxygen can pass through the lining of an ordinary crown over time, affecting the flavor of the beer.  The new pry-off oxygen barrier crown will ensure that discerning Abita Beer drinkers will taste the full range of flavor in every bottle.

Abita Beer Is Louisiana True

The Abita Brewing Company was founded in Abita Springs, Louisiana in 1986 and is the
oldest and largest craft brewer in the southeast. Abita is the 30th largest commercial
brewer by production volume in the nation and the 17th largest craft brewer in the United States. Sales for the company should exceed 85,000 barrels and $16.5 million this year.

Abita Brewing Company produces seven flagship brews year-round:  Abita Amber, Golden, Light, Turbodog, Purple Haze, Jockamo I.P.A. and Restoration Pale Ale.  Abita also offers five seasonal beers, two Harvest brews and a draft-only series of Select beers.

Big Beers in Big Bottles Are Here big_bottles_news.jpgBig 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:

Beer Tank Ruptures… Sound Wakes Abita Springs Neighbors
No one was injured as a result of the rupture and no product was lost.  Abita employees on site worked with St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's deputies to respond to the incident in conjunction with Abita’s safety training protocol.

Brewery production has been temporarily suspended and should resume shortly.  Abita Brewing Company president David Blossman says they expect to return to full normal operations Wednesday.

"Safety is a first priority at our brewery. Our teams followed safety protocols and as a result no one was injured,” said Blossman.  “We apologize if we startled our neighbors or disturbed their sleep.  For 23 years our brewery has been free of any incidents such as this.  With safety as a priority we plan to investigate what happened and implement procedures that continue to improve our safety procedures.”   

The Abita Brewing Company was founded in Abita Springs, Louisiana in 1986 and is the oldest and largest craft brewer in the southeast. Abita is the 30th largest commercial brewer by production volume in the nation and the 17th largest craft brewer in the United States. Sales for the company should exceed 85,000 barrels and $16.5 million this year.

Jockamo gets high marks in South Carolina review "Abita's Jockamo IPA isn't well-known, but worth meeting. First, Jockomo pours very smooth, but light on the carbonation. The color is a copper/orange and the head is minimal after a few moments. The same goes for the lacing as this IPA doesn’t really keep much head around throughout the beer.

Aroma-wise, Jockamo is more sweet than one would expect from a pale ale. There are hints of honey among the hops aroma and there were even slight smells of pine coming on at first.

But it is the taste where Jockamo made it for me. Personally, I like a bitter pale ale, but it can be overbearing sometimes. So, when someone comes up with an interesting take on a pale ale, I usually ride the wave and try to enjoy it. That was easy with Jockamo."
