Heads up, there's a new brewery in town! Decatur's first craft brewery, Cross-Eyed Owl, is officially distributing, and we're having a release tasting at Hop City. The name is a nod to British beer culture and their formula for naming pubs like The White Lion, The Drunken Duck, or The Green Harpy.



They have quite a selection of beers, including a flagship Cream Ale, India Pale Lager, and Black Ale, and year round offerings that span the beer spectrum from Mexican Lager to toasty Porter. We'll also be keeping an eye out for seasonal releases and collaborations in the works with other breweries, too! Feedback in the local beer community has been positive, and we're looking forward to having them



Join us for a first taste of their beers this Thursday, March 1st, 5-7pm, and meet the people behind the beers!

Got a topic you'd like us to cover? Email AngelaRichter@hopcitybeer.com! Afraid of commitment? We offer the largest selection of single bottles of beer and cider in Birmingham!

Hecht & Bannier Languedoc Rosé 2016







Our Languedoc Rosé is a fresh bunch of fruits; its blend is composed around of the floral Syrah of the altitude vineyards of Saint Chinian area, completed by the Grenache curve. Fresh Cinsault district, with some gooseberry and Morello cherry, also gives vividness and finesse.



Floral and spicy expression with ripe raspberry, a round palate with flavors of cherry and lifted by bright pineapple. Strawberry, watermelon and pomegranate nuances abound in this delectable crispy and dry wine that pairs with just about anything.
