, Neb. —
The countdown to the first home game for Husker football is on and it marks the start of alcohol sales inside Memorial Stadium.
On Wednesday, the university announced the official craft beer of the Huskers. It's named the Cornhusker Crusher and it's brewed locally in La Vista at Kros Strain Brewing.
"Since the university made the announcement, the phone's really been ringing off the hook," Jeff Hardy, head beer pusher for Kros Strain Brewing, said. "We've been getting asked if we can ship it, if we're going to be open, when it's going to be available retailers. So we've had a really, really positive response to this. We've had people come in by literally beer buy the caseloads. since we've opened the doors today at three."
The Cornhusker Crusher is quickly becoming a best sell
