Beer Street Journal Video: Meet Jackalope Brewing (Nashville, TN)
Bailey Spaulding and Robyn Virball met in a Scotland while studying abroad in 2002. Less than a decade later, they, along with Steve Wright had opened their own craft brewery. Jackalope Brewing Company is nestled in “The Gultch” area of Nashville, Tennessee. The success of the brand has recently lead to the need to expand.
New 60 barrel (1,860 gallons) fermenters were just put into place, expanding the brewery’s capacity 3 fold. In addition to more beer, the brewery plans to package in cans this summer.
In light of Sierra Nevada and Dogfish Head’s new collaboration Rhizing Bines, the breweries have released a new glass specifically for drinking IPAs. Each brewery now has their own branded glassware for hoppy drinking occasions. The glasses have special features that include thin, round walls to maintain temperature, a slender, bowed shape to amplify hop aroma, wave-like ridges to aerate, a wide mouth to comfortably nose the beer, and a laser-etched logo on the bottom to sustain carbonation in the head.
Spiegelau’s Platinum glass is 100% dishwasher safe. (Beer to hand wash!)

Dogfish and Sierra Nevada Collaborate on Glassware
Dogfish Head and Sierra Nevada are really starting to become BFFs. Moving past just collaborating on beer, they’ve come together to design the new standard for IPA drinking. This new glassware has been designed to completely enhance the way one drinks an IPA with specially designed features exclusively for this style of beer.
These features include thin, round walls to maintain temperature, a slender, bowed shape to amplify hop aroma, wave-like ridges to aerate, a wide mouth to comfortably nose the beer, and a laser-etched logo on the bottom to sustain carbonation in the head.
“I’ve been a longtime believer in the importance of using quality glasswareto enhance the enjoyment of quality craft beer,” says Dogfish Head Founder and President Sam Calagione. “The process of collaborating on the design of this hop-centric glass takes this concept to the next level.”
Glasses are available for $9 at Dogfish’s webstore, their brewery, and the Delaware brewpub.

“Quickly came the man of wisdom who should charm the blood from flowing and should still the pain by magic. Flow thou not, O blood, like water; still thee, blood, of life the honey; wherefore thus they source o’erfowing, breaking thus the bonds that hold thee? Let the blood as stone be hardened, firm as oak-tree let it stiffen; in the stone-like veins around it, let the blood be stanched O Taara!”
It’s back, and better than ever! Cigar City’s Kaleviopoeg is set to return standing at the gates of hell. Aged in bourbon. Ready to go down fighting. Kaleviopeog translates to Kalev’s son and refers to an epic poem from Estonia about a giant that helped form the lands and battled giants from other neighboring countries. Baltic Porters hail from Estonia and other countries in the Baltic region of Europe. We’ll be waiting patiently for the launch date as it hangs out in bourbon barrels for awhile. Look for Kalevipoeg at the Gates of Hell this year.
The first beer to be infused using Tröeg’s Brewing’s (Hershey, PA) “Infüz-O-Matic” will be Scratch #88. Slated to launch just in time for Valentine’s Day, this stout will be infused with 4lbs of cocoa nibs, 2 lbs of cocoa posder, 30 vanilla beans and copious amounts of hops per barrel.
