ANCIENT CITY BREWING BECOMES PROUD CRAFT BEER PARTNER FOR JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
ST. AUGUSTINE, Florida (July 24, 2024) – St. Augustine’s original craft beer will now be the Proud Craft Beer Partner for Jacksonville’s home football team, the Jaguars. Greg Tuttle and his team at Ancient City Brewing (ACB) have been handcrafting a beloved selection of beers since 2015. But they’ve been secretly creating a new brew just for the Jags at their Brewhouse – 1st & Gold Golden Ale. This limited-edition golden ale is powerful and robust, just like a Jags roar, and proudly recognizes the team’s 30th season in the National Football League. 1st & Gold Golden Ale’s rookie season begins August 10th at the Jacksonville Jaguars’ first pre-season game against the reigning Superbowl Champions, the Kansas City Chiefs.
“To say we’re excited would be an understatement,” says founder and president Greg Tuttle. “I’m a rare born and bred St. Augustinian and, of course, a Jaguars fan from the very beginning – we bleed teal and gold around here! To be able to create something that represents the team and the 904 and have it served at EverBank Stadium is pretty cool. We love the beer, love the can design, and we can’t wait to see them in the hands of the fans. My team and I have been working on this for a while, so it’s really great to finally be able to put it out there.”
Ancient City Brewing has been crafting great local beers in the Nation’s Oldest City since 2015. 1st & Gold Golden Ale will be offered at EverBank Stadium beginning August 10th in a custom-designed 19.2 fl oz tall can. This includes the Lower Levels and Terrace Suites. It will eventually be available for purchase at various retailers in a standard 12 fl oz can. Golden ales are a traditional brew featuring a pale color and cereal-like malt sweetness with very little bitterness. 1st & Gold Golden Ale has a crisp, clean aroma with a refreshing yet subtle hop note. Its delicate fruitiness offers a slight malty sweetness to round out the finish. It is an approachable and fresh brew with craft sensibilities, perfect for enjoying in the Northeast Florida heat while cheering on the home team. ACB still brews and cans its own beers at its Brewhouse, located in an industrial warehouse complex just off SR 16 and I-95. Locals and visitors alike can enjoy a freshly poured beer at the flagship Brewhouse or the Downtown Taproom on Cathedral Place in St. Augustine. In addition to 1st & Gold Golden Ale, ACB creates seasonal varieties and its core brews: Augustine’s Orange Amber Ale, Galleon’s Golden Ale, Castillo Coconut Porter, Matanzas River Red Ale, and Ponce’s Pale Ale. As always, Ancient City Brewing encourages all its patrons to drink responsibly. Photos to accompany the press release can be found here. Photo credits go to Sarah Logan.
