Abita Brewing Company has been voted Best Local Brewery in Gambit’s Best of New Orleans 2025, a title awarded by the publication’s readers and fans. The recognition highlights Abita’s deep Louisiana roots, strong community connection, and decades of craft brewing excellence.
Founded in 1986 in Abita Springs, Abita has grown from a small-town brewery into a statewide icon. Known for classics like Amber, Purple Haze, and Andygator, along with seasonal and specialty releases, Abita has consistently showcased both tradition and creativity in its lineup. With its New Orleans taproom on Tchoupitoulas and the flagship brewery in Covington, Abita has become a go-to destination for locals and visitors alike.
This award is especially meaningful because it comes directly from the community. Being voted #1 by the people who enjoy and support local beer underscores Abita’s reputation for quality, innovation, and consistency. It also marks an exciting moment of growth, as Abita expands its New Orleans presence with a new brewery in the Irish Channel.
Winning Best Local Brewery reaffirms what many already know: Abita is more than just beer—it’s Louisiana True.
