Amber is a Munich style lager brewed with pale and caramel malts and German Perle hops. It has a smooth, malty, slightly caramel flavour and a rich amber colour. Abita Amber was the first beer offered by the brewery and continues to be our leading seller. Amber is Abita’s most versatile beer for pairing with food. It has been voted "best beer" in numerous New Orleans reader polls and is used frequently in recipes of great Louisiana chefs.

Because of its smooth, malty flavour, try it with smoked sausages, or even with caviar. It’s great with crawfish and Cajun food. You might also enjoy it paired with a spicy gumbo or tomato-based pasta sauce. It also goes well also with fried catfish dipped in a tart, lemony tartar sauce. Parmesan, Pecorino and Romano cheeses are good pairings with Abita Amber.

Turbodog is a dark brown ale brewed with pale, caramel, and chocolate malts and Willamette hops. This combination gives Turbodog its rich body and colour and a sweet chocolate, toffee-like flavour. Turbodog began as a specialty ale, but has gained a huge, loyal following and has become one of our flagship brews.

This ale pairs well with most meats and is great served with hamburgers or sausages. It is a good match with smoked fish and can even stand up to wild-game dishes. Turbodog is also great for marinating and braising meats and cooking such things as cabbage and greens. Colby, Gloucester, Cheddar and blue cheeses go nicely with Turbodog. It’s perfect with spicy Louisiana jambalaya or Spanish paella. Some even like it paired with chocolate.

High temperature fermentation reveals the fullness of aroma from the yeast. The control techniques employed by the brew masters allow these full-bodied, though subtle aromas, created by the yeast as it ferments the wort, to be enjoyed almost limitlessly. Pale in colour and with a fine froth, this ale is gentle on the palate and has the flavour of fresh fruit and the aroma of freshly-roasted malt. Moderately bitter, it is a pleasure to drink from dusk to the early hours of the morning.

This delicious dark beer is brewed with three malts that give it special flavour, body and a unique aroma. The base malt is a caramel malt providing complex aromas to the beer. The second malt has been roasted longer to give colour and body. Finally, Schlaffer malt is responsible for its firmness and lasting aftertaste. This unique combination of malts needs double fermentation while slow cellar maturation refines its great bouquet.
