Good news for Abita Brewing Company

Hurricane Katrina wiped out 60% of Abita Beer's market, New Orleans, but the Louisiana brewery still managed to increase sales. The 20 year old company is expected to earn more than $9 million this year. As a result, company president David Blossman announced a $3.5 million expansion which will increase the company’s production capabilities from 25 barrels an hour to 40.
