Bold City Brewery

Can I just say how excited I am that there is a microbrewery now open in Jacksonville?! They brew beer. That's it. No menu is a part of the experience at this establishment, just beers that run the gamut from a Rye Wheat to an India Pale Ale to a Porter.

I stopped in there yesterday and wanted to mention it because as I said, I am very excited. It's a small tap room, a modest operation, but the beer was really good and has big potential in my opinion. They are debuting a new cask ale next weekend, a barrel aged Chinook IPA. It's an IPA fermented with honey and grapefruit and hopped with nothing but Chinook hops. How excited am I? Very.

I'm going to be telling everyone I know about this place. In addition to having good beer, we'll be supporting the local economy which is important right now. It's a family run operation as I understand and though I only interacted with the bar tender, she was very nice. All new patrons get a free sampler to try too! How excellent is that.

Bold City Brewery. Go check it out if you're in the area and take home a growler or two.
