The Abita Brewing Company is a microbrewery located in Abita Springs, Louisiana, 30 miles north of New Orleans. They first began brewing beer in 1986. That year, the company produced 1,500 barrels of beer. Today, they brew over 60,000 barrels of beer and 3,000 barrels of root beer. Abita Golden, Abita Amber and Abita Turbodog are sold in various markets across the United States.

The company brews its beer with the pure water of the artesian wells in Abita Springs. They produce several types of beer year round, and also produce a series of seasonal beers. In August 2005, Stuff Magazine named Abita's Turbodog Ale as the best beer made in America.

The company also produces Abita root beer using Louisiana sugarcane. This makes Abita's root beer unique in that it is sweetened with raw cane syrup, as opposed to sugar or corn syrup.

The company also runs a brewpub in Abita Springs.
