Bluewater Brewing Company is the newest craft brewery to open its doors in Alabama. The brewery is located in Florence, Alabama and begins distribution this week. Bluewater has partnered with Alabama’s premier craft distributor, AlaBev, to ensure its product is served to prime locations in Florence and north Alabama, Brewbound reported on February 8.
“There is always a high level of anticipation and excitement when a new brewery opens,” stated Harry Kampakis, owner of AlaBev. “Alabama has become a haven for craft breweries and we are glad to see the market continue to expand throughout the state. Bluewater Brewing Company is a testament to the caliber of craft beers being brewed right here in Alabama.”
Arron Hannah and Patricia Wilkens founded the brewery with the goal of bringing quality craft beer to Florence and north Alabama. Hannah and Wilkens have a passion for craft beer they hope to share with their community. The newly released brew from Bluewater is a 6.2 percent ABV medium bodied American Brown Ale with notes of chocolate and caramel. The beer is hopped with Willamette hops that are prevalent, but not overbearing.
The first batch of draft beer from Bluewater is now available. It can be found in Florence at Southern Package, Doozie, Wildwood Tavern and The Pie Factory.
