2019 is here and we're excited to announce another great year of brews! Our team has been hard at work planning for 2019 and we wanted to share our hard work with you. Our 2019 Beer Release Calendar is all of our upcoming brews on one page - everything you have to look forward to in the upcoming year. We have a lot of new brews coming your way, with an upgrade to your Abita favorites. In all, we'll brew and package over 25 beers in 2019 and that's not counting the beers we'll be releasing on our pilot system. A big change in our lineup is the availability of 19.2oz cans of Andygator® and Strawberry. In 2019, we'll release five never-before-seen brews and two new packaging re-designs. You'll have lots of new beer styles to look forward to, and we're kicking it off with our Stratosbeer - a Brut IPA. Next, will be a golden ale brewed with Earl Grey tea, an ale inspired by a tropical island favorite, a hazy wheat, and then a saison to bring back childhood memories of Springtime. We're excited for you to get your hands on these new brews!

Article by Barin von Foregger, Grillax.com When creating unique dishes in Grillax Nation, it’s all about a really good marinade … and we think you’ll love our dark beer marinade. With seafood, you want to go light. With beef, you want to go heavy. With chicken … the sky’s the limit! [Abita Turbodog] Abita Turbodog is perfect for a dark beer marinade. You will generally see the usual suspects when putting together your own marinade — salt, pepper, vinegar, etc. If you are looking to add a unique twist to your next marinade, pour in your favorite ale. But save some for the glass, too. We suggest you give Abita Turbodog a try. It’s a dark brown ale brewed with pale, caramel, and chocolate malts and Willamette hops. This combination gives Turbodog a rich body, deep color and a sweet chocolate, toffee-like flavor. The Beer Marinade 1/2 cup dark beer (We like Abita Turbodog) 1 cup apple cider vinegar 1 Tbsp light olive oil 1 Tbsp Kosher salt 1 Tbsp white pepper 1 Tbsp garlic powder 1 tsp chili powder 1 red onion, diced Combine all ingredients and use as a marinade or grilling sauce.

Story by Nora McGunnigle for GoNOLA.com The Emeril Lagasse Foundation’s eighth annual Boudin, Bourbon & Beer is happening on November 9 in Champion Square, and founding sponsor Abita Beer will be providing the third “B” in BB&B as always, reminding us that a Louisiana-made beer is the best to pair with this unique, Louisiana food. There are almost as many beer styles at the event as there will be dishes (more than 70, which is the event’s largest number of chefs yet) and each dish has a perfect beer to complement it. Multiple bars and beer trailers will be dispensing Amber, Hop-On IPA, The Boot, Turbodog®, Andygator®, Purple Haze®, Wrought Iron IPA, 30° 90° Citra-dry hopped lager, Christmas Ale Seasonal, Grapefruit Honey Lager Harvest Seasonal, and Office Party spiced stout. There also will be the opportunity to have your beer AND your bourbon cocktail in one glass because two of the beers in Bourbon Street Series collection will be poured this year: Old Fashioned Pale Ale and Rye Pale Ale. Since the event also profiles bourbon, the bourbon-barrel aged beers are a nice tip of the hat to the overall theme of BB&B. To get into the spirit of pairing the beers with boudin,...

Story by an Account Staff Reporter for The Advocate Brewers from across Louisiana are putting their heads together for something special. The Louisiana Craft Brewers Guild today announced it is launching a collaboration brew to be released during Louisiana Craft Beer Week. The beer, a Double IPA, is the first in a new, annual Ensemble Series, and is set to be released Sept. 24. Louisiana Craft Beer Week runs Sept. 24-30. For the Ensemble Series, brewers will come together each year and decide on the style and recipe and brew the beer at the host brewery, the Guild said in a press release. This year, Abita Brewing Company will host the inaugural brew on Sept. 7. "There are 33 breweries that are members of the Guild and to be able to come together and work on a single brew that everyone can stand behind speaks volumes on how well we work together," said Karlos Knott, President of Bayou Teche and the Guild, in the announcement. The hazy IPA will be made with pale malt, wheat oats and Calypso, Lemondrop, Citra, Centennial and Amarillo hops. Expect an 8 percent ABV. The beer will be sold in limited release six-packs around the...

Yes, Abita Brewing Company once made a stout with oyster shells. They also tried out a spiced ale inspired by a crawfish boil! These aren't even the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the strange brews! ��
