Love is the word! Asked the keeper of the bar to choose my flight with some given parameters. Gave me the core 4. All solid brews! Cardinal Truth W.C. IPA my fav.
We had an order of Hawaiian wings and truffle fries from a very solid menu, VERY good eats!! D chose a 5 oz. of the Cadillac Goze. She was "enjoying it very much". It seems to be a couple run, good sized operation. I'll leave others to describe the building and interior with the urging...if you're in town....get in and try this Place, you will not be disappointed!

Very clean interior; hard surfaces and high top tables can definitely contribute to high noise levels if busy, as another reviewer noted. However, the interior does have some nice things going for it: a few large screen TVs (on mute) for your sports fix, an open-view pizza kitchen where you can watch the food prep, a decent amount of seating (including at the bar), and multiple outdoor picnic tables under the shade of a massive oak tree.
Contributing to the positive vibe are nice unique touches. For example, the flight board is carved into the shape of Amelia Island, which is something super cool, and not something I've ever seen from another brewery (truly embracing the local culture). I do wish the interior were "softer," but it's a place that made me feel comfortable almost immediately - contributing, the entirety of the staff was professional and kind. All food and beer is brought to your table.
Decent-sized tap list, all their own beer, and covering a nice variety of styles, including lagers, hoppy ales, light sours, and even a Belgian Dubbel during my visit.
The highlight, for me, is the food: the entire menu looks incredible, and I can say without hesitation that the pizza I had was the best I've ever had in the entire NE Florida/SE Georgia region. It was that good. New York/New Haven/Providence style, greasy, creative, and absolutely delicious. I recommend the Hot Honey pizza, or if you really want to go straight for assessing their quality at a classic style, the Margherita. I regret that my stomach couldn't handle trying absolutely everything, from Truffle Fries to Gojuchang Wings (as well as burgers and more pizzas, including daily specials).
This is a very nice little local brewery, but when you combine the food, it's a special place. Highly recommended for locals and visitors looking for a bite alike!

I met a friend here for a few beers and enjoyed my visit.
You order food and beers at the counter, you can run a tab.
You have a choice of sitting outside which is part of a converted parking lot. It is better than it sounds as they have a massive old oak tree that adds shade and character. This area is mostly picnic tables.
The inside is a modern, clean design with lots of large tables. I like the look but with all the hard surfaces, it can get a bit loud.
I think they had about 10 house beers during my visit. I had a very nice rye pale ale and a helles. Also tried the IPA which I thought was good. Service at the counter was friendly and efficient.
We didn't have food this visit but they have a buzz about their pizzas and the burgers looked fantastic.
