Beer Selection

With the passing of legislation in 2009 easing restrictions regarding the maximum alcohol content of beer in Alabama, we are now able to offer a large and comprehensive selection of all types of beer and cider. Our current selection is comprised of approximately 150 brands, with access to quite a bit more. In order to accommodate the curiosity of our customers about these newly available items, we offer single bottles/cans sales of every beer in our inventory. We’re also happy to special order anything that we do not have, or at the very least, determine if the desired product is being distributed in Alabama, and more specifically Tuscaloosa, at this time.

As one might imagine, the portfolios of our beer suppliers have been changing quite regularly since the passage of the new laws, so there’s always a chance that brands which are not available today will be available in the future. As with our other lines, we’re building our selection around our customers; so if there’s a beer you’d like to buy from us on even a semi-regular basis, just say the word and we’ll make sure to stock it for you.

Our selection is ever revolving given the season and climate. We also stock large-format bottles/cans or "bombers" (up to 25oz), non-alcoholic and gluten-free beer, as well as sparkling ciders and other fruit-based beer.
