Abita Brewing Expands to New Orleans with Second Brewery Location
Abita Brewing Company, Louisiana’s largest local brewery, is bringing its renowned craft beers closer to the heart of the state. The company announced plans to open a second brewery on Tchoupitoulas Street in New Orleans, with the new location expected to open in early 2025.
A key element that sets Abita Brewing apart is its use of pure natural spring water from Abita Springs. Vice President of Marketing Heidi Guerra emphasized that the new New Orleans facility will continue to use this same water source, ensuring the signature quality and taste that fans of Abita have come to expect.
“Water is the foundation of all our brews, and we are committed to our craft brewing principles and staying true to who we are,” said Guerra. “All the beverages crafted at our southshore location will be brewed with the same pure, artesian spring water as our northshore location.”
The expansion reflects Abita Brewing’s commitment to making its products more accessible. “Adding a brewery location in New Orleans just makes sense,” Guerra explained. “We want people to have the opportunity to taste our beers where it’s most convenient for them, and for a lot of Louisianians and visitors, that’s in the heart of New Orleans.”
Like its flagship location on the northshore, the New Orleans brewery will offer beer enthusiasts a chance to dive into the company’s history, explore the brewing process, and enjoy Abita’s signature brews in an engaging setting.
This exciting new venture brings one of Louisiana’s most beloved breweries into the vibrant culture of New Orleans, offering both locals and visitors an authentic taste of Louisiana craft brewing.
