[xXBoldCityXx]

add me to your mailing list, sounds like an excellent idea.

Will do!

Add another to the mailing list.  How many different types of beers are you guys planning to brew?  I see that there is an IPA, which makes me happy, but are your also brewing a wheat an ale, etc.?  In any event, best of luck to you and I will definitely support the local goods.

Hey Billbo,
     We're planning four brews with four seasonals @ first (which will include a wheat). We'll also have specialty brews that are only available on tap @ the Brewery tap room by the pint or for take home in the form of a Growler (explanation of growler below from Wikipedia). The email list should be ready by Monday so make sure and check www.boldcitybrewery.com for sign up, just in case it slips my mind.

A "growler" is a half gallon (64 US fl. oz.) (1.89 Litres) glass jug used to transport draft beer in America. They are commonly sold at breweries and brewpubs as a means to sell take-out beer. Some breweries also offer a one-litre version. Growlers are also used by homebrewers as an alternative to using kegs or smaller bottles for carbonating and storing their beer.

Growlers generally are made of glass and have a steel or plastic screw-on cap or a hinged porcelain gasket cap which can provide freshness for a week or more. A Growler will not hold carbonation indefinitely, and since it is not a sanitized form of packaging, it is not an appropriate means of long term beer storage

Microbrewery scheduled for September opening
Get your pint glasses ready for September when a new microbrewery opens in Riverside.

Bold City Brewery will have its own tap room, where the thirsty can down a pint of ale on-site and take home more using a half-gallon transporter.

The 7,200-square-foot brewery at 2670 Rosselle St. will roll out about 1,000 barrels per year for the first three years, and then jump up production to 2,500 barrels per year, said co-owner Brian Miller (no connection to the well-known brewing giant).

"It is something that we always felt Jacksonville needed," said Miller, who has been homebrewing for about seven years. "We like the artistic side of craft beer."

Miller, who works in information technology at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida Inc., said the brewery will sell four staple and four seasonal beers by the keg, and the tap room will feature those, along with a few specialty beers not sold by keg. Prices haven't been set.

Bold City, please let us know the second tshirts are available as I would like to be the first one to purchase one.  Additionally, I can't wait for the grand opening, as I hope to be a frequent patron.

Hey Captain,
     We should have merchandise available by the second week of June. We'll send out a notice via the mailing list once we have it.

Are you planning to brew any fruit beers?  I fancy a nice Cherry Wheat or a Wild Blue every now and again.  I also like little chunks of fruit right in the beer.  Or just a bowl of fruit with a little beer poured over it.  Or a wine cooler.  Wah-tee-tah!

Most Definitely. Possibly a Mandarin Orange (Regal) White Ale. Sippa-Tow!

I'll cheer for a revival of the "JAX BEER" label. BTW, Pearl which closed it's San Antonio brewery is now shifted to Ft. Worthless, TX. They are part of Pabst. Or is it that is brewing Pearl on their line in Fort Worth? ANYWAY, in the process Pearl's parent company gave the names of all of their old and historic labels to a foundation. They are now for sale to raise money for the foundation... 5 will get you 10 that some micro-brewer ends up with JAX. I hope it's y'all, or if not, that it's still looking for a home when you get big enough to bring it home!

The JAX BEER LEGAL CASE: http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/F2/574/574.F2d.824.77-2673.html

JAX HISTORY: Named for Jackson Square and its namesake, Andrew Jackson, The Jackson Brewing Co. was chartered in 1890 and housed in an industrial building on Decatur Street. New Orleans was home to at least 30 breweries in the early part of the 1900s, but most of them were small and distributed their beverages to only one or two outlets. With its regional sales and distribution, Jackson Brewery eventually became the largest independent brewery in the South and the 10th largest single-plant brewery in the country. During Prohibition, when many breweries were forced to close, Jackson Brewing stayed in operation by manufacturing near beer and other beverages, such as root beer. In 1956, the Jax Brewing Co., headquartered in Jacksonville, Fla., (also named for Andrew Jackson) sold the copyright to the brand name "Jax" to the New Orleans operation, which also had been producing a beer by that name. In 1974, the Jax Brewery closed and the rights to Jax Beer were taken over by Pearl Brewing Co. in San Antonio. During its tenure in New Orleans, however, Jax Beer reached its height of popularity, and its brewhouse became a local icon.
