Huntsville residents now have another craft beer option thanks to a recent expansion by Nashville-based Tennessee Brew Works.

The brewer of Southern Wit, 1927 IPA, Tripel Star, Country Roots, Basil Ryeman, Walk the Lime, Extra Easy Ale, Cutaway Rye IPA and other products began distributing its beer this week in Huntsville through AlaBev Distributing Co. of Birmingham.

Tennessee Brew Works Founder and President Christian Spears said the relationship with AlaBev has been positive so far.

"With so many friends and family there, we have wanted to bring our beers to Alabama for some time, but really needed to find the right partner first," he said.

Huntsville is the first Alabama market for Tennessee Brew Works, but the company plans to reach other cities across the state in the coming months. For now, the beer is available at various grocery stores, brewhouses and restaurants.

The list includes: 

• Below the Radar
• Pints & Pixels
• Stem & Stein
• The Hunt Club
• West End Outdoors
• Windmill Beverages – multiple locations
• Liquor Express
• Wish You Were Beer – two locations
• The Nook
• Old Town Beer Exchange
• Whole Foods
• Publix
• Star Market

Tennessee Brew Works, which launched in 2013, now operates a brewery and taproom on 809 Ewing Ave. in Nashville. The brewery said it was the first in North America to use the Meura Micro Mash Filter with the U.S.-made Aegir Brewing System to make its beer.
