Founded in 1986, the brewery began in the piney woods north of New Orleans with an initial production of 1,500 barrels. By 1994, demand led to a move to a larger facility, while the original site continues to operate as a 100-seat brew pub and restaurant. The company produces ales, lagers, small-batch root beer, sodas, hop water, and vodka cocktails, all crafted in small batches using pristine artesian spring water drawn from deep wells in Abita Springs. The water is naturally soft and unaltered, serving as the foundation for their beverages, which include no preservatives, additives, or stabilizers.

The product lineup features year-round offerings such as Amber Lager, Purple Haze Lager, Jockamo Juicy IPA, Strawberry Lager, and The Boot Lager. Seasonal and specialty items include Bourbon Street Barrel Aged Imperial Stout and the DeltaGator Gator Pack, which combines Andygator, Strawgator, Alphagator, and Deltagator styles. The brewery also introduced Upbeat Vodka Cocktails, marketed as Louisiana’s first canned vodka cocktail from a craft brewery.

The brewery utilizes energy conservation efforts, such as the use of an EquiTherm system to capture and recycle heat from the brew kettle exhaust and wort cooldown. The company also engages in community support through partnerships with organizations like the New Orleans-based nonprofit Son Of A Saint and through the donation of beverages to various charities and fundraising events.
