Tennessee Brew Works Collaborates with George Dickel

Craft brewer collaborations are relatively common.  This, not so much so.

The two Tennessee neighbors – they are less than 1-1/2 hours apart — have become fast friends and partners in a new brew collaboration series set to launch next week including a Belgian Style Quadruple and Imperial Porter, both aged in George Dickel No. 12 Tennessee Whisky barrels.

The TENN. NO. 12 Belgian Style Quad and Imperial Porter both aged in George Dickel No. 12 Barrels will first be available in 22 oz. bottles for purchase at 12 p.m. CDT on Saturday, May 13, in the Tennessee Brew Works Taproom in Nashville. There is a limit of two bottles per customer (per style).

Thereafter, they will also have very limited availability in Nashville at fine retail establishments (22 oz. and draft), including the Tennessee Brew Works kiosk at the Nashville International Airport (draft only).

“Our mission is to create craft beer that represents our land, heritage and culture,” said Christian Spears, Founder & President of Tennessee Brew Works. “We are honored to partner with an iconic Tennessee brand like George Dickel to produce a beer that pays homage to the great state we both call home.”

The Tennessee Brew Works team specifically selected the two beers they believed best complemented the flavor profiles of whisky barrels that once housed George Dickel No. 12. Similar to George Dickel’s chill charcoal mellowing process, Tennessee Brew Works prefers aging their beer during the winter months. Therefore, the Belgian Style Quad and Imperial Porter were barreled last fall for six months.

“We’re fortunate to have great friends in Nashville, like Christian and the team at Tennessee Brew Works,” said Jeff Parrott, Brand Director George Dickel. “For us, these beers will be perfect for celebrating with all of our friends, family and partners here in Tennessee.”
