Beer Thirty?

[fieldafm]

Just left Beer:30 and WOW, great prices on Intuition six packs

[fsquid]

how much?

[Julian]

I just made my first visit as well, great selection, i have enough IPA to last me through the weekend...hopefully. This is a great addition to the 'hood

Man, I just picked up a sixer of Great Divide Colette from Grassroots yesterday. I might need to swing by Beer Thirty to see what they have in stock.

Are their beers chilled or room temp?

[Julian]

Most seem to be room temp, but they have a fridge with some. I was able to get my I-10's nice and cold!

Stopped by last night after dinner at Carmines. Picked up a bottle of Bold City Coffee stout and a bottle of Brooklyn Number 1. They have an awesome selection of beer. They even carry your Bud Lights and stuff like that in the back of the store for those without taste buds and a small selection of wines. Great addition to the neighborhood.

I might have to find a second job.  All of these were spot on.  And this is what happens when I'm told to grab a six pack of Guinness and Newcastle.

Wow the Grand Opening yesterday was amazing!!  Thanks to everyone who came out (& Pele's, thanks again for the free pizza)!!  The Intuition 6-packs are disappearing quickly since the People's Pale & Jon Boat are only $7.49 and I-10 is only $8.49.  We just had a guy come in and swipe four I-10 6packs for his personal stash haha!  We definitely feel the love, Jacksonville.  Tell all your friends and see you soon!

I perused, but I was disappointed. I mean this constructively, but please try harder to get a better selection of microbrews. The prices looked decent, but I didn't see anything that I can't get at Publix down the street, ABC on 17 or European Street. It didn't feel "special" as much as it just felt like "another option".

If you're going to strive to be anything, please take a look at 99 Bottles in Seattle.

It's one thing to just be a beer store, it takes a whole lot more effort to source interesting brews out. If you can rise to the occasion, you can be a star, otherwise I'll just pick up the same beer I can get there when I go and get groceries.

Glad to hear it's open, I was worried for a while, thought it was a hole in the wall beer bar with 30 beers on tap, which typically would be good but not in between Pele's and Kickbacks. Glad to hear they have good beers at good prices. Can't wait to stop by.
Oh and BTW Hammer Hall did move to the strip mall on Plymouth near 5 Star Pizza. I live about a block from there and they had been standing on Edgewood near 17 to advertise. Seems like they are packing it out, haven't been in though.

Appreciate all feedback, both good and bad.  We are certainly going to have some overlap with places like publix and ABC on the better known craft brands like Rogue, Stone, Sam Adams and those guys.  But we also carry a lot of brewers that you don't find at other places, like Ipswich, Coronado, Anderson Valley, Bison, and a whole mess of others.  Our initial ordering was limited to what was in stock now, so our seasonal and rare release section is only going to get better with time.  Either way, thanks for the honest review, and thanks for stopping in.  If you want us to try and order anything in particular let us know and we'll see if we can bring it in.  Cheers!

It won't stop me from coming back. I think we all have our idealized beer store, and it's easy to get caught up in the "Well I won't go there because they don't carry the brand that *I* want!"

I think you're off to a great start, and I'm excited to see what you guys become. We've sorely needed a place like this (besides grassroots, which I also love for their imports). Good luck and I can't wait to see what you pull off!

Fantastic.. the moment they start carrying Founders, I'm pounding down the door.

Founders is not distributed to Florida: http://foundersbrewing.com/beer-locator

A beer store like a beer bar has to go through a distributer. There are only so many brands they can carry and are sort of at the mercy of the distributor. Again, many breweries do not even send their beer to Florida so it's unfair to compare a place like Portland, OR or Seattle to Jacksonville in terms of beer distribution.
