Vanderbilt to debut locally made beer at football home opener

Vanderbilt and Nashville-based Jackalope Brewing Company will introduce the brewery’s latest offering, Conquer and Prevail Ale, beginning Saturday when the Commodores open their football season at home against Virginia Tech.

Proceeds of the sale of Conquer and Prevail Pale Ale and merchandise will support Opportunity Vanderbilt, the university’s no-loan financial aid program that provides awards, including full-tuition scholarships for households with income of $150,000 or less. A portion of the proceeds will also be directed to the Vanderbilt Center for Addiction Research.
