Welcome

Free the Hops’ 5th Annual Magic City Brewfest was again a great success, with over 200 craft beers to be tasted and the introduction of Avondale Brewing Company, Alabama’s newest brewery. We’d like to thank all the volunteers who helped us achieve this goal – we can’t do it without you! Thanks are also due to the brewers, staff and all other workers at the festival.

Free The Hops is a grassroots, non-profit organization whose mission is to help bring the highest quality beers in the world to Alabama.
