Southeastern Louisiana University is getting a special beer in honor of its upcoming 100th birthday thanks to Gnarly Barley Brewing Company, a locally owned brewery.
Named Lion’s Legacy Lager, the special brew is a craft beer.
Southeastern will always hold a special place in the hearts of Zac and Cari Caramonta, owners of Gnarly Barley Brewing, who met while attending college at Southeastern.
“Anytime there’s an opportunity to collaborate with the university, we jump on it,” said Cari Caramonta. “They’ve shown us so much support over the years, and that means a lot to us.”
Caramonta described the lager as “crisp and crushable, brewed cold for a snappy and refreshing finish.” The beer clocks in at a reasonable 5% ABV (alcohol by volume) and is a limited edition, she explained.
“One hundred years of Southeastern is something to celebrate. We suggest a beer that’s just as storied and timeless, like an American lager,” she added.
“We are truly grateful for the Centennial Lion’s Legacy Lager specially crafted by Zac and Cari and their love of Southeastern,” said Southeastern President William S. Wainwright. “We appreciate their generosity in helping us celebrate 100 years of educational excellence and look forward to 100 more.”
An official launch event is scheduled at Gnarly Barley Wednesday, Nov. 20, from 4:30 until 6 p.m.
