Old Black Bear Brewing Company is a brewery located in Huntsville, Alabama.
Old Black Bear was founded in 2011 by two friends, Daniel Levis and Todd Seaton, who met while playing Softball for a local city league in Huntsville, AL. The decision to start brewing beer and sharing it with the public came from their desire to create a great beer that real people can not only enjoy, but also relate to. Their thought was, "Some beer companies try to market their beer as being able to bring you a life of leisure; others may try to convince you that higher alcohol content automatically means better beer; others may simply try to sell you beer of poor quality and claim, "It's a craft beer." People know better than that, and our goal is to make great beer and sell it at a fair price without using silly marketing gimmicks."[1]
The name of the Brewing Company is described below:
"Why the Black Bear?
At Old Black Bear, we believe that you are rewarded as a product of hard work, and that your beer should not just represent your taste in beverage, but it should really represent the kind of person you are. Black Bears are very diligent, intense, and resolute workers. They work to survive. Not all that different from you or I. Have you ever seen a Black Bear catch a fish? It's pretty awesome. It's a great mascot to represent the kind of people we expect to drink our beer.
We want to produce something real, for real people that work hard every day. And just like the Old Bear working for his fish, at the end of the day when you're holding your Old Black Bear Beer, you'll know that Hard Work Has Its Reward.
Cheers!"[2]
