Tuscaloosa's Black Warrior Brewing Company Celebrate 10 Years

Tuscaloosa's Black Warrior Brewing Company will celebrate their 10th anniversary this weekend with all-day raffles and football on every screen.

Founded in 2013 by three co-workers at the BFGoodrich plant, BWBC has been a part of Tuscaloosa's beer-brewing scene since its earliest days. The Bama Blonde, Apricot Wheat, Lock 17 IPA and many more have made their downtown taproom a paradise for beer lovers.

Co-founder Eric Hull said they will celebrate 10 years of brewing on Saturday, opening at 11 a.m. for the early Alabama football kickoff.

Hull said they'll have raffles all day, giving away prizes from the brewery itself as well as from several restaurants around the area.

The final raffle will award a coveted 2024 Mug Club Membership, a small group of brewery regulars with access to exclusive perks and their own personalized mugs hanging up at the bar. The brewery will also be kicking off sign-ups for entry into the lottery to select the other 2024 Mug Club members.

The slogan for the event is "I've Got Time for One More" and have special merch including pint glasses and T-shirts will be available to buy at the brewery.

"As we raise a glass to celebrate our brewery's 10th anniversary, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our friends, family, and loyal customers who've been a part of this incredible journey," Hull said. "You've made these years truly special, and we look forward to many more to come."
