Druid City Brewing Company
The Druid City Brewing Company is a Tuscaloosa-based brewery located
The brewery was founded by Elliott Roberts and Bo Hicks and won approval from the Tuscaloosa Zoning Board of Adjustment to operate from the Parkview Plaza shopping center on 15th Street on June 26, 2012.
When Druid City started selling their beers, they became the first brewery to operate in Tuscaloosa since the closure of Barrett's Brewpub in 1999. Their logo was inspired by and features a likeness of the Moon Winx Lodge sign in Alberta City.
On June 29, 2013, Druid City opened a taproom in their former office in Tuscaloosa. Their beers are sold at various bars and restaurants throughout Tuscaloosa and at J. Clyde and Hop City in Birmingham.
Huntsville's Straight to Ale Brewing acquired Druid City Brewing Company in December 2019.
In 2023 the business relocated just across the parking lot to the former Comcast Cable building at 700 14th Street. The new 4,500 square-foot brewery and tap room opened on March 1, 2023]].
