Great news! Hopefully they'll become a local staple and give Anheuiser Busch a run for their money.

yep I'm pretty happy about this as well. After my trip to Portland & Seattle I was just saying how Jacksonville needs more microbrewerys around. I was in locally brewed beer heaven out there.

I love to see it grow to the point of bringing home the old "JAX BEER" name! Nice location too.
Good Luck!

It's about time. Risky move considering the global hops shortages, but I'll be a supporter of the product if it's better than what else is brewed in this town.

Thats true estate4, luckily we were able to purchase our hops before the extreme shortage hit. There are still hops available, but recipes may need to be modified to use a different variety.

We tried Ock. Lots of hoops and money involved to get the rights to the name. We're still looking into it and hopefully in the future can obtain the rights to it.

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.
