Abita Brewing Company opens second location in New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — For nearly 40 years, Abita Brewing Company has had only one location on the Northshore in Abita Springs, but now it is expanding to the Southshore in New Orleans with a brand-new brewery.
'We have 36 offerings on tap. Most of the beers will be fan favorites like Amber, Purple Haze and Turbo Dog,' President of Abita Brewing Company Troy Ashley said.
There's a new brewery on the block, but it is one you're familiar with.

'Abita's been crafting and innovating beers since 1986. It has been difficult for some people to make their way across the Causeway to try our beers, and we figured if they couldn't come across the Causeway then we'd bring the brewery across the Causeway,' he said.
The new space is about 2,000 square feet and can comfortably house around 250 guests.
'We tried to design the space to be very family friendly with outdoor seating and televisions both inside and outside,' Ashley said.

'Brewing in Abita Springs, you know, we are really proud of our water. While we are brewing here in New Orleans we made an effort to actually bring water from Abita Springs here in New Orleans,' he said.
It is the dawn of a new Abita age.
'We will have a lot of new offerings that people haven't seen before like our new beer, '2375, which is named after our address, right here on Tchoupitoulas Street,' Ashley said.
