It take a good real of research and development for a brewery to add a new beer to their core, year-round lineup. For Jacksonville’s Intuition Ale Works, that research and development process has led to Sunchaser IPA being canned and available around the city soon.
From Intuition Ale Works:
It’s finally here! October 15th is the first-ever canning of Sunchaser IPA, which is joining our core lineup of beers that are available year-round on draft and in cans.
The Sunchaser journey started almost a year ago with an idea to add another IPA to our portfolio. We wanted it to complement the other core IPAs while offering something totally different at the same time. Our brewers formulated an initial recipe, and then brewed several rounds of pilot batches before settling on the profile that became Sunchaser. Technically, it is a “cold IPA,” a hybrid beer that combines the tropical juiciness of a hazy IPA with the crystal clarity and light body of a lager.
It took several weeks – and more than 1500 submissions – for us to choose a name. Naming a beer is never easy and we really wanted to get this one right. The Intuition brand has always been about getting outside and enjoying the Florida landscape. Sunchaser embraces that ethos and takes us into the future.
Huge shoutout to the legendary Carson Skinner for another incredible design. Carson has previously done the can artwork for Daybreak, Party Wave, Shrimp Boat, Tiki, Civic Pride, El Guapo, Wheelhouse, State Line, Bicentennial, and Oktoberfest. He has a supernatural ability to bring these beers to life with his art. Take a look at the Sunchaser can for subtle references to our other IPAs. Have you seen that early 70s green International Travelall somewhere else?!
Draft has been available in the taproom and in bars and restaurants around town since May. The feedback we have received has been incredible. We couldn’t be more stoked about it.
It has been a full team effort bringing Sunchaser to life. We can’t wait for you to see these cans soon. Look for them around town in November!
