Tennessee Brew Works and Turner Häus to Celebrate Community Through Craft Beer Nashville brewery collaborates with Chicago-based brewery to celebrate Black History Month Tweet Share
Black History Month isnât quite over yet â although it is pretty crappy that the shortest month of the year is the one dedicated to Black history. Tennessee Brew Works plans to take advantage of the remainder of the month by presenting a big virtual event on Saturday, Feb. 27, in partnership with Turner Häus Brewery. The two breweries will celebrate the release of their new collaboration, Gazelle Hazy Ale, a double IPA named in honor of famous Tennessee State University Tigerbelle trackster Wilma Rudolph.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nashville-based craft brewery Tennessee Brew Works and Chicago-based Turner Häus Brewery are partnering to celebrate Black History Month by honoring Olympic legend and Tennessee native, Wilma “The Black Gazelle” Rudolph.
Wilma Rudolph, born in Saint Bethlehem, Tennessee, overcame polio to ultimately become the fastest woman in the world. An international sports icon in track and field, she was a world-record-holding Olympic champion in the 1956 and 1960 Olympic games. She became one of the most recognizable black women athletes in the world, earning several prestigious nicknames including, “The Black Gazelle,” coined by the Italians following the 1960 Olympics. She earned a degree from Tennessee State University and profoundly gave back to her community through positive activism, founding the Wilma Rudolph Foundation to train youth athletes, and working in minority affairs at Depauw University.
