Abita Beer Is the Truth

Since today is both a holiday and the unofficial end of summer, I thought I'd do something a little different and answer an email that isn't finance related but might come in handy for a bunch of you. I received the following email from In The Flesh last week:

In The Flesh:

Morning Eddie,

Louisiana related question--I was in my local liquor shop (also known as "my pharmacy" I suppose), and saw case after case of brews from Abita Brewery.

I know how much you love your booze (or used to, I guess, considering you gave it up); any recommendations on what's good from these guys? Looks like they have quite a selection. Ever actually been there?

I'll take the last question first.

I have not only been there, I probably could've been considered a temporary resident for awhile about five years ago. You see, I used to live about 15 minutes from the Abita Brewpub (and brewery) and they had the best burger on the Northshore at the time (with Times Grill running a close second). Needless to say, I was in there a couple of nights a week at least.

In addition to the truly sublime burgers, the rest of the menu was stellar as well. They had a deep fried artichoke heart appetizer that was phenomenal, their bayou crawfish pasta was to die for, and their roast beef po-boy was every bit as good as Monster's.

But if you really wanted to go off the reservation into gourmet heaven, you had to order the boudin quail. This was a dish so decadent that even I only ordered it once a month or so. It was quail breast stuffed and smothered in boudin (it's a cajun thing: pork, rice, spices, and God only knows what else in a sausage casing) with a blueberry glaze. It was sweet and savory and spicy all at the same time. Out of this world.

Now to the most important thing: what to wash it all down with.

Abita Beer is really phenomenal. I'm just gonna hit the high points, starting with my favorites:

  • Jockamo IPA - Jockamo is a relatively new entry to the Abita family and was introduced shortly before I left for France. India Pale Ales have always been my favorite microbrews, and Jockamo is one of the best I've ever had. I think it was introduced as one of their rotational beers, so I'm glad to see that it's now being produced permanently. This is a truly great beer.
  • Turbodog - Turbodog is basically a nut brown ale. It's clean and delicious, and packs a bit of a wallop. This is one of the beers that made Abita famous.
  • Andygator - I'm not proud of this, but if your aim is to just get annihilated look no further. Andygator is a mix between a double bock and a barleywine, and it'll fuck you up like polio. Proceed with caution.
  • Purple Haze - No list of Abita beers would be complete without at least mentioning Purple Haze. It's basically the beer that put Abita on the map. I'm not a big fan of fruit beers, but as fruit beers go this one is pretty quaffable. The raspberry isn't overpowering and it's a pretty refreshing brew. Plus the chicks really dig it.

In short, if you're not drinking Abita beers you probably should be. They're a unique taste of Louisiana and, even though I might get my NOLA ticket punched for saying this, they're a damn sight better than Dixie. That said, you should try Blackened Voodoo if you get the chance.

Hope you're all out enjoying this final day of summer. I think I'll go have a beer.

Eddie,

Good call on the Blackened Voodoo. Any time I can find it, I order it without question. It's a hell of a Schwarzbeir and makes me happy every time I can find it. It's much better than the Dixie Lager. I still have yet to find the Crimson Voodoo Ale. That's one that I am looking forward to eventually finding and trying.

I will vouch for all the beer listed here. Given my live of the sauce and unusually good familiarity with it, I would have included something on the Amber - I think it's the most approachable and drinkable of the Abita beer. It's also the most sessionable. I'm not a big fan of the Andygator. I think it's a little too big without enough bite to back it up. Then again, I loved the Double Dog which was an overkilled Turbodog. For the seasonals, I would seriously recommend checking out the Satsuna. It's a wonderful harvest wit that's not too heavy and very mellow with a nice flavor profile to it. I think Purple Haze, Jockomo and Turbodog are spot on though.

Have you had anything by New Orleans Lager and Ale Brewing Co. or Bayou Teche? Those are both on my list if I make it down there.

Liking craft beer doesn't make you a hipster. Claiming you like craft beer before craft beer was popular and being snobbish about all things craft can make you a hipster but doesn't entirely do so if you have an open mind and don't exclusively drink Dogfish.

Okay, let me explain why I didn't mention the Amber. Abita Amber is probably the one beer Abita makes that gets exported everywhere. I figured by now everyone has had it at some point, so I didn't mention it. My mistake. Abita Amber is really, really good beer. It's the only beer on tap at my yacht club, if that tells you anything. So if you haven't had it, you can't go wrong with Abita Amber.

I haven't had the Double Dog, that came out after I left. Both the Satsuma and the Strawberry Harvest are as local and regional as you can get. The satsumas (a variety of orange) are sourced right there in Abita and the strawberries are harvested up the road in Ponchatoula. Pretty much everything Abita makes comes from a 20-mile radius of the brewery, so you know it's fresh.

You're making me thirsty, Eddie.

Speaking of which, the Labor Day party I was at yesterday was IPA heaven--like you literally opened the cooler and there was nothing but IPAs in it. Lagunitas, Harpoon, Saranac Lake White IPA, Southampton Publick House IPA....

Frieds,

The Andygator is the one beer they will not serve in a pint glass at the brewpub. They serve it to you in this pseudo-Frenchie wine goblet like the kind they use to serve Affligem and other high-alcohol content beers over here. Kind of annoying, really, as I could probably order a pint of whiskey anywhere in Louisiana if I wanted to. But I guess it adds to the ambiance, and I really have had a few (non-)memorable nights on the Andygator at the pub.

Jesus, I've never even heard of any of those. France is a complete no man's land for beer. I can't get IPA, I can't get Trappist, all I can get in a bar here is the national swill 1664 and maybe Heineken. Sucks ass.

That said, an enterprising young lady (that's right, a chick) opened a joint in the Mouffetard that is more a beer store than a bar. But her schtick is that you can go in and pick any bottle off her shelves (and she's got a HUGE selection, even of American microbrews) and she'll flash chill it in nitrogen for you so it's ready to drink ten minutes later. She's also one of the cheapest places in town. Win win.

This saddens me deeply. No wonder you can't wait to get outta there...you can't even get your hands on the great Belgian stuff next door?

Honestly, I think she's kinda killing it. She took most of the month of August off (not unusual here, but probably not something you'd do if you were struggling) and she's a lot busier now than she was a year ago. I think her shop is catching on.

I'm partial to a Maibock/Helles Bock being served in a pint glass and not a chalice. Then again, I think the glassware should suit the style of the beer and not the alcohol content.

PRIVACY POLICY

The Company recognizes that you are concerned about privacy. We are committed to preserving your privacy and safeguarding your sensitive information. The following statement describes the general information-gathering and usage practices of our sites.

Our staff, contractors, Internet service providers and others involved in this site follow this policy or similarly strict policies regarding your Information.

Disclosure

The Company is committed to fully disclosing our policies regarding the collection, use, maintenance, disclosure and security of personal information obtained from users of our site. The term "personal information" includes a name, address, email address, or any other information which could be used to contact you directly or to identify you personally.

Use and Disclosure Limitations

The Company only uses personal information about its Web site users for specific purposes. We do not share user information with third parties except when we have told users about the disclosures, when we have prior consent, or when required by law.

Use Policy: When the Company gathers personal information from users, we ask for permission first. We also disclose, at the time of collection, how the information will be used by us. Personal information is used for activities such as auto-completion of commonly-used forms and helping us contact you when you solicit information from us.

Disclosure Policy: We do not normally disclose personal information to anyone outside of the Company unless we have previously informed users about the disclosures. However, some data may be used from time to time by outside contractors, including auditors or consultants, to assist us in carrying out necessary financial or operational activities. These uses will be consistent with this privacy policy and all contractors using this potential personal information must agree to safeguard it, to use it only for the authorized purpose, and to return it or destroy it upon completion of the activity.

The Company might be required to disclose personal information in response to a valid legal process such as a subpoena, search warrant or court order.

Although unlikely, it is possible that we may have to make certain disclosures to ensure the security of our Web site, to protect its integrity, or to take precautions against potential liability. In any of these situations, we will take any reasonable steps to limit the scope of the data disclosed.

Web Logs: The Company maintains standard Web logs that record basic information about visitors to our Web site. These logs contain: * The Internet domain from which you came to our Web site. * Your IP address. An IP address is a series of numbers which uniquely identifies your connection to the Internet. Although it is possible in some instances, certain types of IP addresses may be used by interested persons to identify users but we do not attempt to identify users in this way. * The type of browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape) and operating system (e.g., Windows 98) you use. * The date and time you visited the site, and the pages you saw.

We use Web log information to design our Web site, identify popular features, and in similar ways. We do not try to identify individuals from Web logs or to link Web logs to other user information. However, if someone tries to damage our Web site or use it in an unauthorized or illegal way, we may share Web log information with law enforcement agencies. The Company may provide aggregate information such as the number of users who visit particular pages of the site, or the number of people who link to certain external sites from our site, to other parties.

Changes to Privacy Policy

The Company's features and services will change over time and our information-gathering practices and policies may also change.

While our philosophy of protecting user information from inappropriate uses and disclosures will not change, this policy will be updated occasionally to include any change that materially affects the collection, maintenance, use, or disclosure of personal information.
