Is It Worth It?: The price of one bottle of Abita Root Beer tends to be between $1.50 and $3.00 depending on the retailer. This price is worth the great tasting root beer with no preservatives. Many people in Louisiana have considered it to be the best root beer for years. It was always difficult to find unless the Louisiana city was located near Abita Springs, LA. This meant places like Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Metairie usually had Abita Root Beer, but further places usually did not have it.

However, with new technology and the ability to keep the root beer fresh, it is being found further and can even be order online from The Soda, Shop, Soda Pop Stop, Beverages Direct, and The Find.
