    Hi All,

    I am currently in Jacksonville at the Hampton Inn near the airport for the next three nights for work. I would love some suggestions for bottle shops or beer bars close by my hotel (maybe not likely), or a few near downtown/5 Points area. I know I might have to make a 20 minute drive, but any and all suggestions would be great. Looking to drink some pints and/or buy some bottles. Thank you all in advance!

    Bold City and Intuition, both of which make some terrific beer, are very close to each other (a bit northwest of Five Points/south of I-10). Check for more options here.

    If you're in the vicinity of Bold City/Intuition, you must also check out Goozlepipe and Guttyworks (new wing of Kickbacks - check out the reviews). Best tap list for many, many miles. The local home-brew club CASK (shameless plug) has an interactive map here.

    5 Points
    Grassroots Market (nice selection of bottles)
    Alewife (bar/growlers/bottleshop)

    King St. about a mile from 5 points
    Breweries: Intution Ale Works & Bold City
    Bottle shop: Beer:30
    Bars with good tap lists: Kickbacks/Goozlepipe&Guttworks (huge tap list), The Silver Cow, Dahlia's Pour House.

    Those are the places I go when I'm over there.

    If you can only hit one brewery, I'd recommend Aardwolf.

    I agree, if you're going to one brewery check out Aardwolf. There's also another Beer:30 not too far from there.
