LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — A Louisville craft brewery and the University of Louisville are teaming up to give Cardinals fans a new way to show their pride — one pint at a time.

According to a news release, Goodwood Brewing Company's "1798" is a bold toast to Cardinal pride and a nod to the University's founding roots.

The beer will be available at Louisville Cardinals athletic venues and retail outlets across the region. 

It's described as a refreshing blond ale with light fruit notes and a crisp, mildly hopped finish.

“We are fortunate to have exceptional craft breweries here in Louisville,” Josh Heird, Vice President and Director of Athletics at UofL said in a news release. “As we look to grow and evolve this partnership, Goodwood stood out as an ideal collaborator, with strong local roots, broad distribution capabilities, and a shared commitment to the Louisville community.”

1798 will debut before the 2025 season and will be available at L&N Stadium.
