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.
Jacksonville’s Veterans United Craft Brewery has posted a few beers on the horizon.
From the Veterans United newsletter:
We are already crafting some of the brews on the horizon… we mashed in our Cup O’ Joe Oatmeal Espresso Stout to be released in a couple weeks. This aromatic and tasty beer will have a smooth and intense flavor from superbly-roasted beans provided by local coffee experts, Bold Bean Coffee Roasters.
Check our calendar for the upcoming tappings of our Rye Pale Ale; a Smoked Imperial Porter; and the return of Cocoa Jack Stout (Joe’s fugacious brother).
In addition to the release of our HopBanshee IPA in cans in December, we are happy to report that we will be canning our Raging Blonde Ale later this week, with distribution to immediately follow in January.
For more information on these and other Veterans United releases, please visit the brewery’s Facebook page.
