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.
Jacksonville’s Aardwolf Brewing is celebrating 11 years in the Jacksonville Craft Beer Scene on Saturday, September 14th.
Jacksonville’s Veterans United Craft Brewery has announced the impending release of their IPA for a great cause – WatchStander IPA. This beer is a beer with a mission to stop soldier suicide.
This episode, I am joined by Aardwolf Brewing Company owner Preben Olsen and head brewer Michael Payne. Aardwolf Brewing has been a mainstay in the Jacksonville, Florida beer scene since 2013 when they opened as a beer bar and progressed to brewing their own beer. Preben and Michael discuss Aardwolf’s origins and how they came to start brewing in an historic ice factory in the San Marco area of the city.
Preben is also on the executive board of the Florida Brewers Guild, so I could not resist asking him about some of the initiatives that the guild has going on during the current legislative session.
As a side note, the brewery is built very close to the train tracks, so there is periodic train noise. The brewery was also opening the tap room, so there is ambient brewery tap room noise throughout the interview.

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.
