Abita 25th Anniversary Coming Soon

Another update on Abita Brewing’s 25th Anniversary beer.  It will be a vanilla double turbodog – “Vanilla Doubledog”.  Headed to bombers & draft this summer.  The description says it best.

From the Label:
Turbog dog is the inspiration for this robust dark ale with rich flavors of chocolate, toffee, and vanilla.  It is brewed with generous amounts of pale, caramel, and chocolate malts, and Willamette hops.  Whole natural vanilla beans are added during the aging process.

25 years ago, Abita Brewing was founded on a pristine artesian aquifer north of New Orleans.  For a quarter of a century, Abita has proudly brewed full-flavored ales and lagers.  We thank our loyal customers for their support and pledge to continue the tradition of brewing excellence.

Arrival: June 2011

7% ABV (unverified)
