Micro Brewery/Taproom in San Marco

Shwaz · January 21, 2009, 06:33:06 PM

QuoteBut Joe, you guys already have Shanty, which might not be brewery but it's still one of the best places in town to drink. San Marco doesn't really have any chill, middle of the road type bars.

Locals & Sherwoods are good "middle of the road" bars. I think the bar part is the smaller attraction of a micro-brew anyways... taking a growler home of ever changing local brews is what excites me.

They are, but they aren't exatcy "pubish" for lack of a better word. Maybe it's just me but they have more of biker bar type feel to them. Locals doesn't carry any draft, and I know a lot of people who hate how smokey Sherwoods is.

I'd say something in vein of Kickbacks, Bold City or London would be perfect for San Marco.

I had another question...How much would our beers being organic mean to most beer drinkers in our community?

BridgeTroll · January 25, 2009, 06:56:12 PM

I would hesitate to pay more for organic beer... unless the taste was a significant upgrade.

No care about organic...just want a delicious beer for under $4 a pint.

Abolutely nothing and trust me I have drank a bit of beer

Thanks for the comments about the whole "organic" idea. After doing more research and taking everyones comments into account the cost of organic grains makes the beer and its price not what I was looking for.I still am going to use organic grains when possible but 100% organic beer is just too expensive and from what I have read not always better.

Cheers!!

Yo Ben. Brian from Bold City here. There is a building off of Hendricks that we looked @ prior to settling on our present location. It's across from Jack Rabbits and I believe use to be an old JEA building. It's a cool building and could definitely work. Brewers work together, That's just how we roll!!!

Cheers

Hey Brewers, how about ease up on the hops just a tad and take some of the edge off... You know Southrons love "Sweet" drinks. Call it Ocklawaha River Water! HA!

umm hops its what makes it have that delicious bitter quality to it like a great IPA.

Speaking of IPA I just got back from LA and had some Racer 5 IPA, talk about hops!

Anyways, I'm all for another micro brewer in Jax. Bold City to me is the only one we have since you can get it at numerous locations and can take some home unlike 7 bridges, and River City.

By the way the new Bold city taps by Kendrick look awesome.

Kendrick Kidd?

Yeah, he did the Mad Manatee IPA, Dukes Cold Nose Brown Ale, and Starry Lights Rye Wheat. He also added a new logo which is a huge improvement in my opinion.

Kendrick is my design mentor. He is very talented illustrator - I love love love the Duke's one. Him and I worked together several years ago when I was an intern. Unfortunately, we only touch base now about 2 a year - but I know he is a busy, busy man. He introduced me to Grolsch too - mmmm!

Bump? I know this thread kind of died off, but I think it is so great that people are using this forum to help their businesses. The posters are definitely not shy about voicing their opinions and serve as a great bank of information. I hope thirdeye and Intuition Ale Works experience success soon. Bold City could use some competition (especially for their brown ale and stout).
