Abita Doubles Capacity With New $12 Million Brewery

From WWL:

The Northshore beer maker has broken ground on a $12-million project to expand its brewery office space and double its production of suds.

The project includes a new 11,200-square-foot brew house.
"Basically, it's a 200-barrel brew house, which means every batch that comes out is 200 barrels," says Blossman. "And, it's capable of doing twelve batches, or brews, a day."

He says that'll make Abita the most efficient brew house in all of North America.

The same German company that designed the brewery's existing brew house, Ashley Krones, is designing the new facility.

Blossman says Abita has pretty much reached capacity with its existing 100-barrel facility and needs to expand to meet the anticipated future demand.
