As yet another example of my non-Republican status, I'll admit I've done a 180 on this beer. I've really taken a shine to this stuff. I'd choose the wit over any other Abita product at this point.

It's a remarkably refreshing beer. It quenches the thirst like nothing else. I'm now an unabashed fan. I'm not going to drink six in a row, but a couple right off the bat is a great choice on a hot day. Give it another try.

They are from the northeast, Abita is from the southeast. Perhaps if Abita was in the NE, they would be more "progressive"? Then again, if DFH were from the SE (the land of Bud Light), perhaps they wouldn't have had to be so "radical" to get noticed, and would be a more "conservative" company today.

Nonetheless, two good companies, trying to peacefully co-exist in the new age.

Long live good brew.

I wish you guys could get Robert's to give you more shelf space in the refer, so they could carry a better product selection. I'm not much on the fruit flavors but I love your IPA and darker brews, which they almost never have. Yesterday, I had two choices and I honestly forget what they were because I didn't care for either--one was a fruit, maybe strawberry.

Some sales rep is filling up their space with obscure imports such as Negro Modelo, Czech beer, and so on. I assume a lot of it is to simply keep you guys off the shelf.

I am going to make a suggestion to the manager in person today. So, we'll see if that helps.

What a shame when a local grocery store doesn't stock (or barely stocks) a great local product like Abita. It is humiliating enough to go to Jazz Fest and see their selection, but at Robert's? That's just wrong.
