On Saturday, March 10th at 4 pm, Wilhagan's of Tuscaloosa (2209 4th Street) will be holding the third annual Suds of the South beer festival.
“Suds of the South” is a beer festival that celebrates the amazing breweries we have in Southeast by showcasing the stellar beers being brewed in the region. You can expect to see regular offerings and seasonals from our area's brewers, but several of the breweries will also be bringing special cask and small batch offerings specifically for this event. Although they do focus on local breweries at this festival, Suds of the South invites a brewery from outside of the region to be what they call a "Southern Sympathizer". This year's sympathizer will be Tallgrass Brewing Company of Manhattan, Kansas.
Here is the full list of breweries attending the festival and the tentative beer list:

Price of admission to Suds of the South gets you a keepsake glass and beer samples during the event. Tickets are currently available online and you can arrange them by clicking here. There are still some "Early Bird" tickets left for the price of $20 at that link. Once those run out, tickets will only be available online for $25. A limited amount of hard copy tickets also went on sale today for $20 (cash only), and they are available at Alcove Tavern, Corks and Tops, and Wilhagan's. This event does act as a fundraiser for Free the Hops, so a portion of the proceeds will benefit the organization.
Suds of the South has proven to be a great time and wonderful event over the last couple of years, and I am sure this year will be better than ever. So, if you are free on March 10th, make the short drive down to Tuscaloosa for good times celebrating great, local craft beer. Prost!
