JDub’s Brewing joins Bern’s Legacy Series

Sarasota’s JDub’s Brewing announced a while ago that the brewery would be joining the ranks of Cigar City Brewing as only the second brewery invited by Bern’s Steak House to brew a beer in the Legacy Series. Now, JDub’s Brewing has a description of the beer.

What does the beer taste like?

Big, barrel aged, Imperial Smoked porter. Loads of coffee and chocolate flavors, light smoke complexity that is not too intense but keeps you looking for more. The beer finishes a bit sweet but the darker malts and hop bitterness balance it out. The barrel flavor and aroma come out strong but work well with the base beer. The beer is also aged in a George Dickel barrel for three months. The Dickel barrel which housed Legacy 3 was hand selected by Bern’s employees at the Dickel distillery in Tullahoma, TN.

The Bern’s Legacy Series of beers is available exclusively at Bern’s Steak House in Tampa.

JDub’s Brewing to join Bern’s Legacy Series

Press Release:

This week JDub’s CEO/ Founder Jeremy Joerger and Brewmaster Tom Harris traveled up
to Bern’s steakhouse in Tampa. JDub’s is partnering with the iconic steakhouse to
create an extremely limited beer, sold exclusively in 750ml bottles at Bern’s. The beer
will be aged in a George Dickel whiskey barrel, hand-selected at the distillery by Bern’s manager Nate Wilson.

JDub’s is only the second brewery Bern’s has partnered with during it’s storied history.

The beer will be part of the Bern’s “Legacy” series. Legacy 1 and Legacy 2 were brewed by Tampa’s Cigar City Brewing. JDub’s plan for Legacy 3, is to brew a strong porter with smoked cherry wood, then age the beer in the George Dickel Whiskey barrel.

This beer is likely 2-3 months from it’s release. Stay tuned for details.
