The Tuscaloosa News: “Craft beer pub opens its doors”

The first Brass Tap in Alabama is now open in Tuscaloosa. The new location boasts 60 craft beers on tap, hundreds of bottled and can beers, a diverse food menu and a full lineup of weekly events.

“These are not your standard beers, not normal, they are all are all exclusive offerings,” Baudrand told The Tuscaloosa News. “And we manage these offerings in a very dynamic fashion and introduce craft beers so frequently that we reprint our craft beer menu daily in the bar.”

Multi-unit Brass Tap franchisee Vik Patel decided to open the first state location in Tuscaloosa after seeing the area's potential due to its close proximity to the University of Alabama.

“Vik and I traveled up there and fell in love with the area, with the true passion behind the university and how everyone there kind of bleeds crimson,” Sheerin told TheTuscaloosa News. “There’s also a lot of great interest in craft beer in the market, there’s three awesome local breweries in Tuscaloosa and Alabama is definitely stepping up their game in terms of branching out into the craft beer world.”
