Pinglehead Brewing and Aardwolf Brewery collaborate

Before Jacksonville’s Aardwolf Brewery opened, brewer Michael Payne traveled around Jacksonville collaborating with friends to get Aardwolf’s name and taste out to the beer drinking public. Now that Aardwolf is opened, established, and flowing freely, Payne is inviting Jacksonville’s finest brewers to come and brew with him at the Aardwolf den.

The first return collaboration beer was brewed with Pinglehead Brewing Company brewer Aaron Taylor on Tuesday. The only details released on this beer so far is that it will be a double IPA.

Aardwolf Brewery reaches milestone

Jacksonville- Jacksonville’s newest craft brewery, Aardwolf Brewing, has reached a new milestone. On August 5th, the Jacksonville brew crew made their first commercial batch on their fifteen-barrel system, a stout called Styrofoam Pony Stout. Before that time, all Aardwolf beers were being made on a ten-gallon pilot system.

Next, on August 20th, Aardwolf posted a picture of brewer Michael Payne dry-hopping Aardwolf’s Brown IPA, Eastbound and Brown, on that same fifteen-barrel system. When asked on Facebook, the brewery saidthat they expect a mid September release date for these beers. This date will then mark the brewing anniversary of the Aardwolf for years to come.
