In this episode, Ben Davis, founder of Intuition Ale Works joins the BeerWise Podcast to talk about Intuition’s facility in Jacksonville, what it’s like hosting a bottle release after COVID, the brewery’s new Ukraine relief beer called “Hey Putin, Go Fu** Yourself,” and more.
Jacksonville’s Intuition Ale Works is again releasing their barrel-aged imperial stout, dubbed Underdark, at their Jacksonville brewery. Underdark 2022 will be available in cans, and the release will begin at 10am. 2022 will mark the tenth anniversary of Intuition’s Underdark release, and the ninth year that the beer has been packaged in bottles and cans.
Like Cigar City Brewing’s Hunahpu’s Imperial Stout 2022, Intuition’s Underdark will be released in cans, except 12oz cans instead of 16oz cans. Unlike Hunahpu’s, Underdark’s flavor stems from its time in various types of barrels, and then those variants are blended together.
From Intuition Ale Works:

Intuition Ale Works’s Underdark Imperial Stout, one of Florida’s most anticipated bottle releases, will now be coming to cans in 2021.
What happens when two of Florida’s most exciting breweries meet in Jacksonville? Breezes are shot, issues are discussed, and naturally, a beer is created. The fruit of this meeting of the minds is almost ready and a date has been set for its release.

What happens when one of Jacksonville’s best craft breweries rubs elbows with Tallahassee’s brightest brewing stars? A collaboration beer, of course, and that is just what happened when the folks at Intuition Ale Works met the gents at Proof Brewing Company. The meeting of the minds that took place between the two brewers will soon be pouring forth into Tallahassee.
From Proof Brewing:

Intuition Ale Works, Jacksonville’s award-winning craft brewery, has one day each year where they shut down part of their block and release their highly-regarded imperial stout aged in oak barrels dubbed “The Underdark.”
Intuition has recently posted a few details of this year’s Underdark release:
We are releasing the Underdark on SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7TH FROM 12PM TO 9PM at the brewery. We are closing down the street and turning it into a block party!
Legends tell of the Underdark, a vast dark and dangerous place where few brave souls have journeyed, and from which even fewer have returned.
Journeying through the unforgiving terrain where cruel creatures lurk within the dark caves is not for the faint of heart, and neither is this drink. It is for the brave who journey fearlessly into the dark void to battle true darkness.
Let the mead halls forever echo with the sounds of praise for the warriors who dared travel the Underdark.
Underdark bomber bottles are $15 EACH.
Bottle purchases are CASH ONLY.
BRING YOUR ID – we will not sell Underdark to anyone without an ID.
LIMIT two bottles per person.
LIMITED QUANTITY AVAILABLE – when bottles are gone, they’re gone!
Underdark TEES ($20) and SNIFTERS ($6) will be available for purchase.
Underdark will be ON TAP.
NO GROWLER FILLS OF UNDERDARK.
Intuition Ale Works is located at 720 King Street in Jacksonville.
