NASHVILLE, Tenn. – (Sept. 19, 2023) – Nashville’s Tennessee Brew Works is excited to announce the much-anticipated release of two exceptional barrel-aged beers in collaboration with esteemed Tennessee neighbor, George Dickel Tennessee Whisky. Continuing the tradition of excellence that has defined this partnership for the past six years, we are proud to introduce our barrel-aged Vintage 2022 Belgian-Style Quad Ale and Petite Barleywine, to our loyal fans and craft beer enthusiasts. These beers are very limited.
Known for their world-class whisky, George Dickel is part of Tennessee history with George A. Dickel & Co first releasing whisky over 150 years ago. Tennessee Brew Works seeks to create high quality craft beer that pays homage to the land, traditions, and culture of Tennessee and of George Dickel, showcasing some of our state’s wonderful heritage.
Crafted in 2022 and meticulously aged for over 6 months in hand selected George Dickel Tennessee Whisky barrels, these limited-edition releases mark the culmination of a six-year partnership between Tennessee Brew Works and George Dickel, bringing together the expertise of two beloved Tennessee brands with deep roots in our state's history and culture.
The Barrel-Aged Belgian-Style Quad Ale, ABV 10% | IBU 35, is a masterpiece of flavor and craftsmanship. This rich and complex ale, aged in George Dickel Tennessee Whisky barrels, offers a symphony of dark fruit, caramel, and oak, with subtle whisky notes that create a harmonious balance. It's a celebration of the blending of brewing and distilling traditions that make Tennessee unique.
The Petite Barleywine, ABV 8.3% | IBU 55, also aged in George Dickel barrels, delivers a bold and luxurious drinking experience. This refined barleywine boasts a complex flavor profile with hints of toffee, caramel, and dried fruits, enhanced by the spirt-forward flavors derived of the Tennessee whisky barrel aging process. It's a testament to the art of brewing and a true indulgence for those seeking complexity and depth in their beer.
“We are committed to crafting high-quality beers that pay tribute to Tennessee,” said Christian Spears, founder and president, Tennessee Brew Works. “Our collaborations with George Dickel are a testament to our shared values and dedication to showcasing the remarkable heritage of our great state.”
Both the Vintage 2022 Barrel-Aged Belgian-Style Quad and Vintage 2022 Barrel-Aged Petite Barleywine will be released 11AM on September 29 at Tennessee Brew Works’ Taproom in Nashville, followed by the Cascade Hollow Distillery, home of George Dickel Tennessee Whisky in Tullahoma, and limited retailers in the greater Tullahoma, Clarksville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Jackson, Memphis, and Nashville markets.
