Well That's Cool

Wilhagans is the recipient of only two kegs of Gouden Carolus Cuvee Van De Keizer Blauw/Blue in the whole state. A name that long normally scares us but reading the reviews on bot Beer Advocate and Rate Beer make me think this beer will bring a tear to a glass eye.  Rate beer includes a great description.

Every year on the 24th of February, the birthday of “Charles the fifth”, the Brewery brews the Gouden Carolus “Cuvee of the Emperor” in a limited quantity and with an eye on the highest quality and tradition. This unique brewing, with only extra fine Belgian hops and with a higher alcohol level, guarantees a better evolution in the time, than the already known Gouden Carolus. This beer, as all our beers, is 100 % natural, with no preservatives, no adjuncts and no chemicals. We bottle it in bottles of 75 cl and closed with a quality cork. Excellent to store several years. Every year the public is invited to assist to the

So there you go a beer brewed for a kings birthday (and here we thought The Champagne of Beers was classy) that rates as high as any beer we’ve every seen. We’ve heard of this beer selling for $12 a pint but Wilhagans owner Bill Lloyd says he will be selling it for much less then that. It’s your last chance here in Alabama to enjoy this uber rare beer so go forth and drink my friends.

The Suds of the South Beerfest has returned to Tuscaloosa!

When people think of craft beer, they often think of the Pacific Northwest, Colorado or even Delaware. One place that does not get the respect it deserves is the South. That’s why wellthatscool.com is proud to present the “Suds of The South”. This event will take place at Wilhagans in Tuscaloosa on Saturday March 12th from 4 to 7 pm. The featured breweries include Good People Brewing (Birmingham, AL), Straight to Ale (Huntsville, AL), Back Forty Beer Co. (Gadsden, AL), Terrapin Beer Co. (Athens, GA), Sweetwater Brewing Co. (Atlanta, Ga), Yazoo Brewing Co. (Nashville, TN), Highland Brewing Co. (Asheville, NC), Lazy Magnolia Brewing Co. (Kiln, MS) and Abita Beer (Abita Springs LA). This year we are pleased to announce a rotating, non-southern addition every year which we will call the “sympathizer”. This year’s “sympathizer” will be Bell’s Brewery (Galesburg MI). Each attendee will receive a 3oz keepsake glass and get to move around and try beer from all the breweries. Good People and Back Forty are planning on bring special, exclusive beers for the event. This event is a fundraiser for Free the Hops. So by attending, you not only get to try great beers but you also get to help the fight of changing Alabama’s antiquated beer laws. A limited number of early buyer tickets are on sale for $10 and $15. After those are sold out, the price will increase to $20. Get your tickets here https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/157529
