GAZELLE HAZY IPA! To celebrate the achievements of Olympic legend and Tennessee native, Wilma “The Black Gazelle” Rudolph, Turner Häus Brewery and Tennessee Brew Works brewers created an 8% ABV Double India Pale Ale, ‘Gazelle Hazy IPA.’ Utilizing some preeminent hops, including Waimea, Strata, Idaho 7 and Cashmere, this IPA is dominated by citrus and tropical fruit notes with enough dankness to gratify any IPA palate.
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 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.
The label has been created masterfully by local artist and Tennessee State University Professor, Sam Dunson. The label depicts Erika Motley, who is a track star in her own right and relative of co-founder Steve Turner, symbolizing the impact Wilma Rudolph has made on generations that have followed.
