Beautiful hot, hot day today, 32C!
We often seek out brewery tours when we're traveling. they're fun, informative, and you sometimes gets freebies! Being so hot today, we thought we'd take advantage of the air conditioning at the Abita Brewery to do a tour. It's a small operation, but they ship within the US as well as well as to 10 other countries. We were really impressed with how clean it was (even though it was a brew day) and how sustainable they were, sourcing locally whenever they can, using solar and steam power, reusing yeast, sourcing from equally responsible suppliers, etc.
Then we finished off with these sampler beers. It was great! They were quite large samplers but we didn't complain 😄
We've already purchased (and thoroughly enjoyed) their "Party Pack", so we got to sample beers that we hadn't tried before - Turbo Dog, Mardi Gras, a Christmas brew and The Boot, a Louisiana exclusive brew. All were delicious! 😋 Even picked up some "sodas" they also make - salted caramel, king cake and root beer. I'm sure they'll be equally delicious. It's Friday, so had to stop for a drive-thru daiquiri on the way home. 😉 I got the House Special - just a small - and I'm not sure if I can get out of my chair.
