Straight to Ale

Founded: 
2009
Brief History and Information: 

Straight to Ale was founded by Dan Perry and Rick Tarvin in Huntsville, Alabama after the state legalized beers with an ABV higher than 6% in 2009. No, really, they filed paperwork for the business the Monday after the Gourmet Beer Bill passed. Recently, Straight to Ale announced plans to move their brewery and tap room for its current location to the site of the former Stone Middle School building in West Huntsville in the next couple of years.
