Reason for Visit: We stopped by for dinner during a drive between Houston, TX and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Abita Springs in located just a few miles north of Interstate 12.
Front of Coaster: The Abita Brewing Company coaster is in a square configuration with rounded corners, featuring green and black ink on a beige background. The upper and lower borders are defined by a triangular pattern that looks similar to hanging pennants (upper) or shark fins (lower). The brewery logo appears at the center which features the name of the brewery along with four arcing stalks of barley. It further notes that their beer is brewed with Abita spring water.
Glassware: A similar logo appears on the Abita Brewing Company pint glass.
Mardi Gras Beads: Given Abita Brewing Company's Louisiana location it makes perfect sense for them to get with the Mardi Gras spirit. This is a set of Abita beads I caught at a Mardi Gras parade. The Abita logo appears on several purple circular objects that resemble bottle caps. The logo that appears at the bottom is considerably larger than the others. Small spherical beads of alternating green and silver provide spacing between each of the faux bottle caps. This was definitely a good catch... and no, I didn't have to do anything unseemly to get them!
