The Queen's Legacy release event will take place on October 21st at the renowned Bedford Nashville (thebedfordnash.com), promising an unforgettable evening of craft beer and spirits, storytelling, and cultural celebration.

Guests attending this exclusive ticketed event will have the opportunity to savor the Queen's Legacy beer, crafted collaboratively by Tennessee Brew Works and Turner Häus Brewery, with the added touch of Uncle Nearest Master Blender Victoria Eady Butler, who hand-selected the Uncle Nearest Whiskey barrels used for aging the beer.

Queen's Legacy is a fitting tribute to Victoria Eady Butler, a remarkable woman who carries forward the legacy of her great-great-grandfather, Nearest Green, also known as Uncle Nearest – the mentor to Jack Daniels and the world’s first known African American Master Distiller. The name "Queen" in the beer's title also honors all the matriarchs who have positively impacted our lives.

Queen's Legacy, with an ABV of 7.6% and IBU of 30, presents a harmonious blend of sweetness, dry coffee, roasted malted millet, and subtle fruity notes from the hops and yeast. The infusion of vanilla, oak, almond spice, and caramel flavors from the Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey barrels adds an exquisite layer of complexity to this truly special and delicious beer.

We are extremely excited about the long-awaited release of the Queen’s Legacy,” said Victoria Eady Butler, Master Blender, Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey, “The collaboration with Turner Haus Brewery and Tennessee Brew Works is unique and special, as is this special Caribbean-style stout.”
