Bold City Brewery’s Duval Light Lager:

With a black-and-gold color scheme depicting Downtown Jacksonville, Duval Light Lager invokes the city itself to help cheer on the football team. While the beer began as a collaboration with Daily’s a local convenience store, its popularity and drinkability, at only 4% ABV, have made it a core offering from Bold City Brewery. Duval Light is available year-round.

Ink Factory Brewing’s Teal Haze

Jacksonville Beach’s Ink Factory Brewing recognized the need for a beer that appealed to IPA lovers who also enjoy tailgating and football season, so Teal Haze was born. It was released both on draft and in cans with special artwork invoking the city’s love for the Jaguars. As for the beer itself, it’s a “Jags-inspired TEAL HAZE…Session Hazy 4.9%. A full-bodied, yet crushable session hazy IPA brewed with Cascade, Citra & Columbus CRYO hops.” Fit for tailgates, beach days, or Jags touchdowns.

Fishweir Brewing’s Stand Up & Stout Duuuval! Irish Dry Stout

Whether the Jaguars are winning or coming from behind, this all-weather 5.0% ABV stout is along for the ride on every play.

Aardwolf Brewing’s Jag Tears

A drink that came out of Aardwolf Brewing’s Research and Development Program at the brewery’s Tap Room, this hard seltzer and quickly became a crowd favorite, so it was a natural fit for football season. Aardwolf Brewing is always looking for unique products to offer their drinkers, so they took inspiration from pastry stouts and made a pastry seltzer. According to Aardwolf owner Preben Olsen the brewery, “added mallo creme (vegan marshmallow) and blue raspberry...which when combined, made a strikingly teal color.” Being proud supporters of the Jaguars, the choice of what to do with this crowd favorite was clear. “Coming out in the fall festival season, the color was not lost on us and quickly became associated with some Jaguar adjacent themed merch we had available.”

Engine 15 Brewing’s J’Ville Lager

The beer with the motto “Good as Gold.” At 4.1% ABV, Jacksonville Beach’s Engine 15 says this loveable lager is a “classic American Lager that’s unpretentious, and of course, brewed the hard way, whatever that means. Grab a J’Ville and enjoy tasty lager that's ‘just easy.’” J’Ville is an easy-drinking lager that can be enjoyed from kickoff to halftime and even overtime, if needed.

With every new season, there is renewed hope that the Jacksonville Jaguars will make their title run and bring the Lombardi Trophy to their city.
