Breweries expanding in the Huntsville area
The expansion of Old Black Bear runs counter to a somewhat negative trend we saw over the summer , wherein three local breweries closed.
But OBB joins Back Forty Brewing as Alabama craft breweries that are expanding. Back Forty, based in Gadsden but with a location in Birmingham as well, is opening a Huntsville location this year.
The new Huntsville location for Back Forty will be at 3254 Leeman Ferry Rd SW Huntsville, AL 35801. We will have an update soon on the new Huntsville Back Forty location.
