Five Alabama Beers to Try at America On Tap in Tuscaloosa May 16
The America On Tap Beer Festival is coming to Tuscaloosa Saturday, May 16, and you'll be able to sample over 100 craft beers, including some brewed right here in sweet home Alabama! We're psyched to have all three of Tuscaloosa's breweries as part of America On Tap; Druid City's coming, and Black Warrior will be there, too. T-Town's newest brewery, Band of Brothers, is making their debut Saturday, which means if you hit up AoT, you'll be among the first to try what Band of Brothers has to offer.
We've got so many breweries joining us Saturday, y'all. The lineup is stacked, and as a Bama girl, I'm proud to see my home state represented so well. Here's a look at a few Bama beers to try at America On Tap this weekend. (Click HERE for the full lineup and to purchase your tickets now!)

Back Forty's Truck Stop Honey Brown Ale
Fun fact about me: I was born in Gadsden, Alabama. Most of my family is from Gadsden, so I had to rep my hometown; Back Forty is from Gadsden, too. Their honey brown ale is brewed with Alabama Wiildflower Honey, so it's the perfect balance of honey and hops--not to mention this beer has one of my favorite names of basically all time.

Brew Stooges' Vanilla Knucklehead Porter
Suuuper excited about trying this one from Huntsville's Brew Stooges, y'all. From what I have heard, they've added vanilla to their already awesome Kuncklehead Porter to give it a sweet and creamy finish.

Fairhope's Take The Causeway IPA
Fairhope Brewing Company says they use "copious" amounts of hops for this American India Pale Ale, a description that should tip you off to the super hoppy finish of this brew.

Rocket Republic's AstroNut Peanut Butter Brown
Rocket Republic Brewing Company is from Huntsville, a.k.a The Rocket City. They've put a new spin on their classic AstroNut Brown Ale by adding real peanut butter. Sweet tooth sated + cold beer = awesome.
