The Abita tour is an hour long. Completely free and you self serve from their taps the whole time. They show a movie that nobody really watches, and you go on a 10 minute tour of the brewery.(you can take your beer with you.) It is really just 45 minutes of free beer at your own pace.
I get hammered.
I would love to go to the Sweetwater brewery but that is a long ride for me.

The Dixie Brewing Company is a craft brewery based in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Dixie Brewing was founded and began production in 1907 and is the only remaining large volume brewery within the city of New Orleans,[2] a city that once was home to several major breweries (most notably, Falstaff). Several microbreweries and brewpubs exist in the city, and the popular Abita Brewing Company is located nearby.
In 2005, the Dixie Brewery was severely damaged when Mid-City New Orleans flooded from the levee failure disaster during Hurricane Katrina. After the area was dewatered the brewery complex was looted with much of the equipment stolen. Despite early claims that the brewery would be restored, it remains off line as of December 2010 and the future of the facilities is uncertain. The brand remains in business, brewed under contract by breweries elsewhere.
The Dixie Brewing brewery was featured in the 1984 movie Tightrope starring Clint Eastwood and in the 1981 movie "Southern Comfort" by Walter Hill the main characters drink Dixie Beer in a Cajun town.
Dixie Beer is briefly mentioned briefly in Brett Easton Ellis' novel "American Psycho".
So, yeah...now shut the frick up. And whether you like it or not New Orleans is the home of Dixie. New Orleans doesn't claim it as much as you rednecks from Alabama, yet Dixie Beer and the term Dixie originated in New Orleans.

So much for N.O. being the home of Dixie

The word "'Dixie'" refers to privately issued currency from banks in Louisiana.[4] These banks issued ten-dollar notes,[5] labeled "Dix", French for "ten", on the reverse side. These notes are now highly sought-after for their numismatic value. The notes were known as "Dixies" by English-speaking southerners, and the area around New Orleans and the French-speaking parts of Louisiana came to be known as "Dixieland". Eventually, usage of the term broadened to refer to most of the Southern States.
So, yeah....NO

The term "Dixie" also originated in New Orleans. Dixie derived from the French word for the number 10, which is "dis" So much for Alabama being the "heart of Dixie"
While the crux of your story is correct, according to you we should be living in and drinking Disie
The French word for 10 is Dix, hence the name Dixie The 10 was the monetary unit of French currency. Yanks traveling down the Miss. River to trade in N.O.
became familiar with the term and they nick named the N.O. region Dixie It was the north that gave us the name and that introduced it into the language!
Alabama may proclaim itself the heart of Dixie
and Ole Miss might play Dixie 
but we are Dixie

LA31 from Bayou Teche Brewing is my new favorite LA beer. Try it, if you can find it.
Abita Amber is always reliable.

Well, we have Diamond Bear which is OK, but is brewed in Little Rock...not really home town. There is also a company there that makes a world champion Limoncello, but that is neither here nor there.
In Fayetteville, the only local beer is truly local beer and isn't exported out of the pub (thank God, Hog Breath pub does make REALLY good root beer though =). Ft Smith does have Hiram Walker's though. I make a mean weizenbock but don't sell it and only bother to make it from October through about March...most of my other beer is mediocre.
