Bold City Brewery Update

[beer_fiend]

I like the idea of a "mug club", specially since I collect beers glasses.

Another thought, some craft brewers out there (Stone, Dogfish Head, etc) have growlers you can buy and have filled @ discounted prices.  I would love to buy a 3 liter Growler, and have it filled on a semi-weekly basis.

More than anything I am stoked that I can spend my beer dollars for locally created goods, instead of buying online and at Euro Street.  AND that 4 outta 4 of your taps are pourin ALES!!!  I can't stand that fizzy yellow water most companies are passing for lager, let alone beer.  OH yeah, and can't wait to cut into a Rye IPA, sounds awesome.

Anywho, wlecome to the neighborhood Bold City Brews!

Hey Friend,
     We will have growlers as well, 64oz. We actually got to go to Stone @ the Craft Brewers Conference and it was INSANE! They basically let you go anywhere you wanted to. We'll have 12 taps and all 12 will have ales.

How about a recipe contest for the homebrewers in Jax? You could feature the winning beer on tap or in bottles (if you end up bottling). Maybe incorporate some local art work like the winery in St. Augustine has done in the past. It could be a great way to get local beer lovers and artists involved with the brewery! 

Plus I think I already have the winning recipie   

[Jason]

I'll be the judge of that.  Send me a bottle! 

[jacksonvilleconfidential]

And you guys got this one before me, Johnny Miller is one of my BFFS and told me about it the day you guys were out there!

I like a few different types of beer.  Let me know which of your four beers will be similar.

Yuengling Lager
Kronenbourg 1664
Newcastle Brown Ale


Thanks.  I'm looking forward to throwing back a few pints at Bold City.  I love the name.

Hey Jax,
   That's another idea we have been throwing around. We would love to do something like that bi-annually. Homebrewers brew some of the best beer and we would love to showcase it as well as all of the local artists in town.

Hey Juker,
    Newcastle would be the closest.

Just be careful, there is reason we don't have "40's" here in FL:

(6)  All malt beverages packaged in individual containers sold or offered for sale by vendors at retail in this state shall be in individual containers containing no more than 32 ounces of such malt beverages; provided, however, that nothing contained in this section shall affect malt beverages packaged in bulk or in kegs or in barrels or in any individual container containing 1 gallon or more of such malt beverage regardless of individual container type.
           
                       --563.06  Malt beverages; imprint on individual container; size of containers; exemptions.

A growler is not intended to be an individual container.

What is it then?  You certainly can't convince me that Rehoboams, Methuselahs, Salmanazars, Balthazars, Nebuchadnezzars, Melchiors, Solomons, Sovereigns, Primats, Melchizedeks and Maximi are intended to be consumed by an individual either, yet they are illegal to sell in Florida

What is a “growler?”
A “growler” is a large container that we may consider as either a large glass or as a bottle. These containers are usually about a ½ gallon, but may be smaller. Some States place restrictions on removal of beer from brewpubs in ½ gallon growlers.

What are the concerns for filling a “growler?”

A growler is either a bottle or a large glass. The distinction is solely dependent on the manner in which the brewer fills the container.

When is a growler a “bottle?”
A growler is a bottle when the brewer fills the container in advance of sale. The brewer may fill the growler prior to removal, on the brewery premises, or after tax determination on the brewpub premises.

When is a growler a “large glass?”
A growler is a large glass when a consumer uses the container to make a purchase and the brewer then fills the container. Consumers may furnish their own growler or may purchase it from the brewer.

When is tax determined on beer used to fill growlers?
There are two conditions for tax determination (please refer to §§25.25(c), 25.157, and 25.158).

If the brewer fills a “bottle” on the brewery premises, the tax is determined upon removal for consumption or sale. Since the growler is a bottle, tax is determined on the stated net contents.
If the brewer fills a “glass” on the brewpub premises, the brewer must fill it from a tank that is tax determined.


There 64oz as well, which is a gallon.

(6)  All malt beverages packaged in individual containers sold or offered for sale by vendors at retail in this state shall be in individual containers containing no more than 32 ounces of such malt beverages; provided, however, that nothing contained in this section shall affect malt beverages packaged in bulk or in kegs or in barrels or in any individual container containing 1 gallon or more of such malt beverage regardless of individual container type.

Actually, BoldCity-

I don't mean to be an a-hole, but 64 oz. is a half-gallon.  A gallon is 128 oz., or 4 quarts.  It's kind of a moot point, though, based on the other info cited.

I'm looking forward to checking the brewery out when you open to the public!   

[xXBoldCityXx]

Hey ac,
   Sorry about that. You're right. I was getting confused with what is considered a Growler (64oz) and what they must be in Florida, which is a gallon (128oz). Thanks for catching it, I would hate to confuse everyone more.

Cheers

Soooo...I guess that means growlers won't be available then?   I kinda thought that might be the case...bummer.
