One Louisiana brewer has devised a fitting means of helping to rebuild New Orleans. Whatta great way for all of us to donate $24.00 to the cause.
Abita has brewed special "Fleur-de-lis" Restoration Ale, with one dollar from the sale every six-pack going directly to the Louisiana Disaster Recovery Foundation.
The Fleur-de-lis name and symbol were chosen for this very special beer with a dual purpose in mind. It's a well-recognized symbol of New Orleans, but it is also a symbol of light and life.
"This brew in every way symbolizes the hope and generosity of our people," said Blossman. "Everybody in their own way, has to contribute to the recovery efforts . . . and our way is to do what we do best. Brew great tasting beer. Our wish is that everyone who enjoys Abita Beer will enjoy it even more, knowing they are helping to restore the areas we all love so much."
