Abita Root Beer is brewed to accentuate the traditional herbal flavors found in American root beers of the 1940s and 50s. We've added a touch of vanilla for creaminess and a pinch of yucca to produce a lacy collar of foam. Our root beer is made with Louisiana cane sugar to create an old-fashioned taste that's Louisiana True. Founded In 1986, Abita's handcrafted, all natural root beer and sodas are imbued with the irrepressible spirit and soul of New Orleans. Each sip is a testament to the celebratory culture and vibrant flavors of the region-made for the way we love to live. Come experience Alma with an up close and personal tour of the brewery.
