Abita Light

Since its days as a Choctaw Indian settlement, Abita’s spring water has been a cherished natural resource. The Choctaws used it for medicinal purposes, and tourists at the turn of the century flocked to the springs to "take the water" and recuperate from yellow fever.Aside from its historical merit and clean taste, the water’s specific chemical composition makes it perfect for brewing beer. Our water is drawn from a deep well and is tested free of manmade contaminants. While most breweries must chemically prepare their water for the brewing process, we take ours straight from the source.
