Tulane partners with NOLA Brewing for new Green Wave Beer

Tulane University’s athletic program has partnered with NOLA Brewing Co. to launch a Tulane-branded beer.

Dubbed “Green Wave Beer,” the new product is “ a filtered version of the more common hefeweizen, a dry, wheat beer with a little hop bitterness that features unique banana and clove notes with no fruit added.” The beer will come in a 12 oz. can emblazoned with the “angry wave” that appeared on the university’s athletic uniforms from 1964 to 1997 (it was replaced by the “T-Wave” logo in 1998).

“Tulane Athletics is excited to extend the Green Wave brand with our very own beverage,” said Jana Woodson, Associate Athletics Director, External Relations at Tulane. “We are excited for our alumni and fans to enjoy this new beverage and support our new partnership with NOLA Brewing.”

“Green Wave Beer was designed with Tulane fans in mind,” said Kirk Coco, Chief Executive Officer at NOLA Brewing.” Our goal is for alumni to be able to have a go-to beer to enjoy while tailgating and cheering on their favorite Tulane teams.”

The beer is currently in production, so it’s not yet available for consumption at the moment. However, the university has said that it’s set to be on sale at Yulman Stadium during Tulane’s home openers against Grambling State on September 2. It will also be available at local restaurants and grocery stores in the fall.
