A new concession stand at the Von Braun Center's Propst Arena is selling only Madison County-brewed craft beers.

The DHI Local Spot, sponsored by Downtown Huntsville Inc., is located on the arena's south concourse and will be open during most concerts and sporting events, including Huntsville Havoc, UAH hockey and Alabama Hammers games.

Local craft beers were already available at a couple of concession stands inside the Von Braun Center, but only DHI Local Spot is dedicated exclusively to brews from Madison County's eight breweries:

Below the Radar

Blue Pants

Old Black Bear

Rocket Republic

Salty Nut

Straight to Ale

The Brew Stooges

Yellowhammer

Downtown Huntsville Inc. purchased the naming rights to what had been an unoccupied concession stand, and the Von Braun Center agreed to staff it. DHI Local Spot debuted during the Alabama Hammers-Columbus Lions game June 20.

"We think it's going to be an amazing asset," said Downtown Huntsville Inc. CEO Chad Emerson. "It will be open for most VBC events, and we've talked about doing some special programming like tap takeovers and 'Meet the Brewer' events.

"All eight Madison County breweries are on board and will be participating," Emerson said Tuesday.

DHI Local Spot will serve a rotating selection of craft beers from Below the Radar, Brew Stooges, Blue Pants, Old Black Bear, Rocket Republic, Salty Nut, Straight to Ale and Yellowhammer.
