    The below list is by no means comprehensive, but is a good start. I just wanted to get something out there as we get a fair amount of requests for Jacksonville. I will be happy to update with suggestions from other local BA’s or visitors

    The lists are in no particular order I will let all of you fight it out as to what is good and what is not.

    They all make at least a few good beers.

    Update: Tabula Rasa is now open in the railyard district as of last Friday. 4 taps of their own on, and more forthcoming. No mind-blowing beers, but good at least, and a great space! Speaking with the brewer, he is interested in doing some styles that we haven't seen a lot of here in Jacksonville (A Scottish 80 is next to be brewed). Also, highly anticipated Reve Brewing opens it's doors in Atlantic Beach on Saturday the 22nd. This is a side project for the head brewer at Green Room brewing and is expected to be producing fine beers from day one! Their announcement indicated 10 beers will be on tap for the opening.

    Saturday Night visit to Reve, HIGHLY recommended! had 2 tasters and a full beer. Double Fruited Raspberry Berliner was fantastic! Base NE IPA (Feed your head), was solid and 'Consider the Coconut' was a really nice coconut stout. I have faith that they will keep producing awesome beers (Collab with Southern Swells in progress - Fluffernutter Stout upcoming!), so put it near the top of your list for a Jacksonville visit!
